I'm approximating the weight , I have'nt put it on the scales yet . I converted the long bed to a short bed plus the changes in the suspension etc. I will do the driveshaft loops and the blanket although keep in mind I just occasionally race the truck heads up at the track , I don't want to do a cage as of right now , I realize that may get me shut down at some of our tracks here in Tx . Some will allow you to run as long as you have a helmet and a jacket . I have several 1/8 th mile tracks close by as well as Tx Motorplex is about 30 minutes out .
