I guess this is really where you get to the point of deciding if you want
your truck "optimized" for daily driving or for racing. If you don't care
about convenience for daily driving, there are tons of things you can do to
lose that weight. But if you still want room for passengers, a stereo
system, etc. it gets more difficult. If you drop both bumpers, the spare,
the tailgate, and the tonneau, you would probably drop a couple hundred
pounds, but 600 is quite a bit.
