    Unsure if I'll keep the name. (TRD Off Road Tacoma Ultra Light)

    I'm starting this build at 15k. I'm not sure if it even counts as build, because I'll mostly be losing stuff.

    2019 DCSB, 6MT Original Specs:

    Weight: 4465 lbs, or 2 Mg
    Height: 70.6 in. or 1.8 m
    Width: 75.2 in. or 1.9 m
    Length: 221.3 in. or 5.6 m

    So, what's the goal of the build?
    To make a lighter Tacoma with more bed space, more cabin space, that is quieter.
    To make a lower CG Tacoma, maybe that is shorter in height and length, AND have better Off-Roading clearances.

    P.s. it'll be more efficient and have better performance.

    Blasphemous? Let's see ;)

    Working up a list of components to swap on and or remove. So far I have:

    Replace:

    Tires: GY Trail Runner AT (- 4 lbs) x5
    Wheels: Konig Countersteers (-6 lbs) x5
    Hood: Carbon Fiber Hood (? - 25-50 lbs)
    Seats:
    Front Fenders: Carbon Fiber (-?)
    Bedsides: Carbon Fiber (-?)
    Roof: Carbon Fiber (-?)

    Remove:

    Rear Seat Back Cubbies
    Center Console

    Crazy Thoughts:

    Custom Plexiglas Windshield: Has added benefit of not cracking every 10k miles (-~13 lbs)
    Leaf Springs: FlexForm Leaf Springs (-?)
    Custom Door Panels (-?)
