that's about what my regular cab weighs in at now with my toolbox in it.

I leave my camper shell off whenever I can do without it, which is most of the time. I suppose i could unload the 60" Hi-Lift and remove the winch during my regular commute. I have been lazy lately, though.

Most of my driving is highway miles and does not seem to vary much at all. It seems like I get 18, no matter what.

X2 on camper shell. I have one also but it's never on the truck unless I need it. The daily driver has a tonneau cover which is very nice.

You could have a new mount made for the winch. If you currently have a arb style, bail out of that and get a tube style winch mount made.

2001 KC XE (2.4l)
Removed:
Bed was 300lbs
Doors are around 60lbs x2
Airbags 20lbs
Fenders 5-7lbs
IFS...don't know

but I've added a ton of shit too...

Also lowered the toolbox after removing the bed to keep the COG low and moved the battery to behind the front seats.
