what do you haul in your fit

considering all the room behind the seats and different storage modes some inovative ideas must have surfaced .what do you haul in your fit.

Two or more electric guitars and one or two guitar amps. A pedalboard, box of cables and a microphone stand.

Groceries. A bunch of pavers. 4 passengers and their camping gear. Honestly I usually haul people around in it more than stuff but the Magic Seats are awesome when you need them.

Runs to Salvation Army: 4 chairs, boxes of used clothes, 3 bicycles, other furniture.

In the future I hope to restart home repairs, so need 2x4s, plywood, bricks, etc. The Fit is great for this. Long live the Hatchback.

Here's a pic of the back of my Fit loaded up with trail work equipment. It's amazing how much stuff will go in the back with the seats folded.

There has to be a way to reinforce the fragile flooring of the cargo area. I feel like anything with weight will collapse it.

To stiffen up the cargo area cut a piece of 1/4 x 20 x 30 luan plywood or paneling. lift up the cargo cover panel slip the new piece on top of the stirofoam tool carrier reinstall the cargo cover panel and your done.

Fit is easy on us old folks!

Wife is disabled and her walker is easy to load and unload from behind driver's seat.

I just brought a load of instrumentation and tools out to a dam site for a monitoring job. Gotta make sure those dams don't fall over!

The bulkiest load so far was two Russian storage crates, each containing 20 Mosin Nagant Model 91/30 rifles.
Did this from Florida Gun Exchange in Ormond Beach, Florida to my house on Merritt Island, Florida.

About 300 pounds of mastiff. This is one of the main reasons I bought the fit and it's great!

Nothing at the moment

It's parked until this summer due to the airbag recall but when I'm rolling in it, what DON'T I carry in it? Zing!

I didn't think the air bag recall affected the GK? I guess it could as they seem to keep adding to the list but last I saw it wasn't.

Sorry, didn't mean to mislead. I believe the recall is just for 2nd Gen, and only some of those. Mine is a second gen.

I normally carry two mountain bikes in the back seat (seats up position) with the front wheel removed.
I've also carried a dishwasher, several different pieces of furniture and two 45kg LPG bottles.
