Jus trying to understand I guess the fasination with stripping weight? I do understand that really heavy does suk but really, not meaning to sound condesending but at what point to you go "jus drive it". You have a great rig there shane! And at the end of the day you are really getting yourself close to it no longer being a full bodied vehicle.
Wheel it hard bro! Take no prisioners, these light moon buggies are a fashion thing, you can never acheive everything with a rig. Look at my build, yes i care about weight, but I also care about my safety!
Maybe look at alloy belly pan, rip out current skidder and do 10mm alloy checker plate. keep the integrity there but lighten with things like this. the brace your running between the two front hoops, drop the guage of steel there, in the end its just acting as a gusset.
drop some chassis off the rear and tube it there also. run smaller fuel cell.
these suggestions are assuming you still wanna pursue the weight thing. My bet, jus get into it mate, pick your lines and drive hard! Dont follow everyone elses lines just cause they drove it! dont always look at the hard lines just because you THINK you can drive it, pick the lines that you KNOW you can drive, at the end of the day your going for points not for show.
anyways off my soap box.
