Damn! Did you lift that in there yourself? I laid a stock 10 bolt down where the passenger seat and rear seats used to be once, but that way looks more stable.

It took me + 2 buddies. It was heavy, and the biggest thing is keeping the flange off the paint- Thats tough when its caught on the carpet, and an inch off the paint! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Nice to see people using their cars. Too many people have garage queens or strippers. I put all kinds of crap in my Hawk. Then when I'm done I take it all out. Remember Folks: They are just CARS. Good Luck with yours.

That's great. I too am guilty of throwing wierd crap in the back of my car. My '00 camaro carried a satellite dish 100 miles, then I drove back 100ish miles with a set of 17x11 and 17x9.5's with tires. That was a trip.

PS. UPS dropped off my 9" yesterday, that sucker is HEAVY!
