I am gutting my BBBs. Man there is a lot of metal in there.
They probably won't weigh as little as the simple early bumpers when I am done, but they will weight a LOT less then the BBBs of old. Pics to come... Zach |

Zach,
Just went through this thread (with great interest), thanks for doing it. What is the weight of the covers themselves also how do you plan on re-attaching them to the frames? How much weight did you end up removing? Dan |

Dan I dunno on the total diet yet, as I have not finished. The bumpers will mount either on the stock shocks as per normal, or I will fab a fixed mount that will attach to the bumpers the same way. The cover I can't see weighing more then 5 pounds, but I have not weighted it. It is not heavy. It will mount on the bumpers just like it would stock. Zach |
