    I'm going to drive across my buddies scales soon....but didn't do a "before" so I won't know the exact difference.
    My grunt scale felt like the IRS was about 2.5 times heavier when I did mine.

    Any pictures of how you cut the trunk floor for the subframe bracket bolts? Did you just use a hole saw?

    Thanks Ron....



    Dan,

    I used a punch to dent the floor to locate the holes. I ended up using an angle grinder and cutoff wheel and made a square hole...then rtv'd some sheetmetal over top.
