Lean? Does that mean you are under 4,000 lbs.?
Well, seeing as how we removed 6 or 7 big black trash bags worth of water-soaked carpet, velour, foam, etc from the interior and trunk of the car, and each one of those bags weighed at least 50 pounds when I heaved it into my pickup, and the LTD Landau weighed about 4300 pounds brand new...No, its still over 2 tons, I'm pretty sure. We did have to add a cage.
We did remove the driver's side front wheel well liner, but not the passenger side, and relocated the battery to the trunk, on the passenger side. We're going for equal weight distribution, you know. The battery is the 1000CCA unit used in my Dodge Cummins. It comes with a complimentary lifting belt.
Did somebody say brakes? What are those? Disco balls...that's what we need more of!
