I think your original goal there seems conservative.

 

What about a roll pan and one of the composite beds that were out for a few years to drop more weight?

 

Yeah ^^ why not fiberglass bed sides or fenders?

 

Those protec boxes and tailgates are hard to find, at least around me.

 

The roll pan is a no go. I'm down for loosing weight, but won't sacrifice the look. I don't care for the roll pan look.

As for the composite bed, aren't those heavier than the regular beds? I had a coworker from colorado that had that bed and his tailgate was about twice as heavy as mine.

 

You talking about getting to 3900 from 4110?

 

protec bed is plastic so its lighter, the stepside bed is heavier

 

Fiberwerx does bed sides and fenders for everyone in the pre runner scene. I don't see why they wouldn't be capable of replicating stock panels with fiber glass. They have bed sides, hood, and fenders as a package for under 1000 bucks.

 

Yeah, it was just seeming all the effort you were going through you'd end up lighter than that.



Fiberwerx is garbage, beware of fitment. I have some glassworks unlimited bedsides and fenders on my Sierra. Good stuff, but doesn't belong on a lowered truck. They drastically change the placement of the wheel arches, both higher up and up to 3.5+ inches wider track width.

 

Well regardless couldn't a company such as fiberwerx/glassworks easily reproduce stock panels without the change in arches?
