Well next project is to kind of make a cargo can conversion kit for the Prius to load more items but I've kind of hit a road block. It seems like the HV battery is on top of a hump and really is limiting height of loading bay capacity. Anybody know if the battery has enough slack to where you can move it forward and mount it where the rear seat used to be? Goal is to make a diamond plate loading bay tray and make it as flat with as much usable volume as possible.

Also side note removed a LOT more weight. Really need to go through and weigh items but I'd guess I've removed around 120 pounds. Throw back in an aluminum tray floor, remove the brake dust shields for increased thermal capacity for the brakes and you could have a nice gvwr value with great gas mileage.
