Rip out the; carpet, head liner, dash, steering column plastic, seats (replace with aluminum seats), replace all glass with lexan, swiss cheese the inside sheet metal, use a racing battery, remove your front clip and mount the skins with aluminum rod, run bed skins only, run IROK tires with aluminum wheels (check the weights of different wheels.

That's about it for now.
