View Full Version : Is this important nebster 08-07-2006, 10:37 PM Well i did a big search and i still couldn't find this part. Just wondering if this is really important or not? http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e350/nebster530/100_1248.jpg its the little thing sticking out. i just want to know bc it would make so much more room for the box. hayalex6 08-07-2006, 10:41 PM well other than it being a structural piece of your car.... nebster 08-07-2006, 10:42 PM well i mean it looks like its just supposed to hold up the floor. thus i don't think its important. its not really attached to anything behind it. Just want to know if other people took it off hayalex6 08-07-2006, 11:10 PM I think we're talking about 2 different parts lol Nick06tC 08-07-2006, 11:19 PM what part are you talking about, nebster? RoswellScion 08-07-2006, 11:20 PM Circle the part you're talking about using MS paint or the likes. ProshopXB 08-07-2006, 11:23 PM I would guess he is talking about the metal piece with what looks like a bolt hole in it under the loom in the middle of the pic. I say remove it and see what happens, if the car falls apart then put it back in, LoL....

That actually has me laughing :rofl: :rofl: nebster 08-07-2006, 11:59 PM http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e350/nebster530/100_1248-1.jpg i was thinking i could unbolt it and just put hte bolts back in ProshopXB 08-08-2006, 12:02 AM Does the plastic panel lock in- to (with a push pin) that metal piece? If it dosent then take it out. Just make sure that nothing uses that for support or locks in to it. nebster 08-08-2006, 12:57 AM well it wont matter bc the entire trunk is getting knocked out for the sub box lilitaliankid 08-08-2006, 12:56 PM No, im pretty sure that is a structural part, to hold to pieces of the body. The Toyota designers put lots of those since we don't have a solid roof, the rigidity of the body needs to be at the floor level. nebster 08-09-2006, 08:00 PM well like i said. i'm not going to be having a floor so would it be a problem if i took out the part and put the bolts back in?! Roadshop_tC 08-09-2006, 08:12 PM i took both of those out of my hatch to make room for the box and it has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the car. it is there simply as a holster for a cargo net or tie down of some kind...thats about it. nebster 08-09-2006, 08:14 PM did u replace the bolts or did u just take them out for good Roadshop_tC 08-09-2006, 09:25 PM i took them completely out for good. it didn't hurt anything at all. all it is...is a bolt down for the anchor for a cargo net or tie downs. here is the setup that i have... http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/4/web/2404000-2404999/2404316_3_full.jpg |
