Spooly, when you emptied out your yellow F6 did you weigh all the stuff you took out?
approx 200kg went from the F6 sedan 10.80@131 Calder never got another shot booted out no cage to 10.47@135 HPR.
light weight wheels, exhaust and front seat are the big weight losers, the after market stereo I wasn't going to remove (only the sub).
Rod could have went further eg: door motors, aftermarket stereo, door trims etc, but it has to go back together.
Remove the weight from the axles its worth double, the OP's Ute was on steel rims so weight wise this is worse than the factory alloys and he can improve on this time if he can loan a set of drag lites..
