I remember reading a post that KingBaby wrote where he says that he felt that removing the rear speaker bar affected the rigidity of the chassis.

As long as you have a spot weld drill bit and a cutoff wheel for the tack welds, it's simple, just labor-intensive and time-consuming. It's also a tight fit in that area I was contorting in all sorts of directions to get leverage because I didn't remove my seats

And I've heard that as well, but I've seen many with everything removed and are holding up just fine, I will be caging it soon as well

Got motivated to remove my sound deadening since someone else did recently.. it was hell.

Thanks man, but you should've put a damn disclaimer with your pic I had a heat gun & scraper I can only imagine the hell you went through with just a flathead & hammer!

Thanks Blue, it'll look great once it's matted & carpeted; much more cargo space than stock & will still have proper points for the cage

Yeah, nothing like having the right tools for the job lol! I spread it out into three days, but I also did the two areas above the rear wheel wells behind the speaker bar. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it.

very clean strip in the rear. Can't wait to see what your finished rear looks like.

Last time I saw him was at a meet 3 nearly months ago. He said he was just stopping by and was on his way to Tijuana to meet up with a stripper "friend." No mention of male or female. RIP.

Been a while, but came across some stubby Craft Square mirrors while randomly being lured into the classifieds & had to buy them

The bases' paint was worn/chipped so I stripped & recoated them today
