Cutting weight on a Taco?

I apologize if this has been discussed previously, I did search and didn't find it. Please provide link if so, but is there a discussion for reducing vehicle taco weight. Carbon fiber hoods etc, stuff like that to better the power to weight ratio.

 

Power to weight ratio? Lol

Supercharger.

 

Not so much...
Some people watch their wheel/tire combo weight but most people here are adding weight for strength and stuff.

 

Prerunner.

Do u even know how much ur truck weighs?

Hop on a scale, im at 4400lbs...... prerunner, half tank of fuel, me at around 230lbs, avid light bar, sliders, toolbox and tools.
Access cab

 

This plus headers, fuel pump, pulley swap, ypipe, intake, 3" exhaust.

 

There are 2 cf hoods i think, and 1 or 2 glass hoods out there.

 

Prerunner is probably the best answer to my question. Yes our 4x4 tacos are fat and heavy and get 0-60 in about the same time it takes me to fall asleep. But I still love her..

 

Remove all doors and the hood and the radio and spare tire and the jack.

 

My 4x4 is at like 5700 with my sub box and toolbox with high lift jack and shit. Remove all body panels and spare bro, get that plus .5 mpg

 

It worked for Vin.

 

Cutting weight you say?

 

No way to make a Tacoma lighter. Toyota already stripped off everything they could. That's why the truck comes with plastic trim pieces where the bumpers should be. About the best you can do is work to minimize weight gain. Almost every improvement adds weight.

 

Hahahahaha. You make me laugh.

 

Just don’t tell your taco it’s fat , it’ll never know

 

Go to the gym and lose some weight. Don't date a fat chick.

 

Best way to reduce weight on a Tacoma is... wait for it....trade it in for a girly-man prius.

 

OP, quit driving those fat girls around together.......haul 'em one a time.


Also.....since you'll be adjusting the heifer quotient...you can downsize the Yeti that I'm sure you are sporting around with.

 

Fat girls are one way you combat the Taco Lean. I use them to break in my suspension. They do not mind.

But I have running boards on my truck. What purpose do they serve besides helping load in the big boned ladies?

 

truer words were never spoken
