Been curious about it, wondering how to remove the excessive # of airbags (side curtains) without the system going ape on me

Save weight, lower the CoG, etc.. No kids or anything, so why worry?

Yea, not worth doing and it will mess up some of the other systems. In the unfortunate event you would roll or get hit and insurance finds out you removed safety systems, they may decline coverage. Nothing to gain, too much to lose by disabling that stuff.

Yeah but he's gonna take 20 pounds off of his 5000+ pound vehicle. Think of the performance gains! 🤦‍♂️

What? That blows, who thought that was a good idea to add unnecessary saaaaaafety equipment?

How much weight are all the airbags anyway?

Cut out the rollbar and remove fenders plus hood. That will shave some weight. Remove interior and extra seats.
