    Ya I'm pretty happy with the mpg. Nice surprise given that I have like an extra 1500 lbs of shit I'm moving to Phoenix. Currently driving to Yuma to hopefully sell my air locker

    I don't normally go below 3 gallons, but I was late to work from oversleeping, then I forgot until I was already in LA and there are no gas stations until home pretty much.

    Air locker sold. Chances of ECGS accepting an older housing as a core? I don't see why they wouldn't. They're technically the same

    Ah okay. Will be in Wilmington, NC the weekend of the 18th-20th for a surf contest. Seeing if you were going to be somewhat local to there around that time

    @LTDSC @dtaco06

    I think I might have found a safe place to mount my hi lift but wanted to see what you thought.

    Behind my seats, above the sub with 3 bolts with wingnuts coming through the storage box. Even if the bolts broke in a crash, that should slow it enough where it wouldn't tear through the seat right?

    The rear seat sits flush against there. Do you mean it could knock the seats down?

    Might be another option. Or just 4 bolts through with a big metal backing plate.
