carlosrowlett Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I always thought the package tray area provided some level of side stiffness by connecting the wheelwell to each other and the tranny tunnel. However, after playing with it for a while I realized the metal is so thin that I can't imagine they could really provide much if any strength. I'm thinking why not just remove it and maybe run a tube across to tie the wheelwells and tunnel together. Thinking it might be a lot stiffer for the same weight. Could also potentially allow me to move the battery forward and down which would be good. Anyone studied or done this have some comments?

ZR8ED Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 It has been done, but I recall that it does provide "some" level of strength, so adding in some reinforcement after removal would be a good idea. Have a look at this thread. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=139690 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
