Yeah...they're built really well when it comes down to the frame department.
I ran it on the track to find out what she'd do in a "Realworld" situation.
It's nice to lighten up the truck to see just how fast it'll go, but you
normally don't run like that on the street. What is a person to say..."Hey
wait a minute, Let me run you again but let me change my tires, change the
belt, pull off all my external accessories, and remove the tailgate.". ;)

Hey Bernd, all you have to do is just take that tool box out, and if
you're like me, you carry everything with you, right (hehe)?? I'm really
curious as to how much mine weighs now, will do that tomorrow, there's a
scale right around the corner from work. Wow, y'all almost as heavy as
my '66 Toro, which weighs in at 5,100lbs, 2,800 front, 2,300 rear (keep
in mind it's front wheel drive) Are our Daks really built that sturdy??
