Oh, no, it's not holding. The weld broke, so the actual mount part moves back and forth. I went to the drive-in with like 20-30 people from my school and after an hour drive there I remembered the shock was broken. And since the weld broke I'm assuming the cancer will have to be cut out and then have a new piece of metal and mount welded in. The lift gate sure is heavy by the way... and replacing tail-lights/cleaning the cargo area with nothing but a broomstick holding it up is terrifying.

Is this an ok place to hang my amp? It will not fit under the rear seat and I do not want to hang it on the back of the seat. I checked behind the panel and it seems like it will work.

Thinking about somehow attaching a metal cable there and bolting it to the frame. That would either slow them down a lot or they would just give up an take off.

Bolt it down with hex head self tapers. Most thief's don't carry a 5/16th socket.

You can get the pipe at advance auto parts for ten bucks, some say to get t stats from the dealership, I don't know that's probably the safest bet, either way get a 195.
