Stangbear - uh, there's a matter of mass on yours to consider as well. No substitute for a lack of it.

True enough! If I didn't have to drive it everyday, it would be a different story. Not too worried though. We'll see how it falls with the MM tube front K/M&A's, manual R&P and some aluminum heads. Oh! I swapped both my heavy buckets for Corbeau's since I weighed it too. Who knows. Maybe if I took about 300 cd's out, some bags of tools, lost the spare, drained the tank...

Don't dare remove the CD's - as long as the 'boom' box is present, use it.
