800ish lbs of 40lb wood pellet (heating) bags.
With the Forester, I managed to cram a dresser, 2 drawers for a different dresser, a box with a swaybar in it, and a 185-65-15 tire (forgot it was in there when we went to pick up the dresser) and I could still see out the back! Too dark, so I didn't take pics.

For reference, 1000 pounds of iron will almost take an outback to the bump stops.

I've also hauled seven 100+ year old solid doors on my roof... **** the 100lb limit. :lol:
Loads of copper, big TVs, display cases, cabinets, a wagonload of subaru parts, engines, couches, chairs...

I've carted around loads of fire wood a couple times when I had my Outback for my dad. Filled up the whole trunk lol.
But the most memorable thing that that baby did was pull a whole tree out of my back yard when we had a major storm one year.
God, I miss that car...

I haven't done anything major in my Sedan, but I have moved two different 80g water heaters still in their boxes.. One was in my 98 Forester, and the other in my 96 Legacy Outback.

I fit my 95 Honda CR125 in the back of mine. No pics for proof but next time I move it I will snap a pic. If any of you know dirt bikes then you know the CR125 is a decent sized bike.

I'm constantly amazed by how much I can hold in my Forester.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2013/04/yg3FnQ7-1.jpg
There's a full set of wheels, struts, springs, tophats, etc for my new suspension mixed in there along with many other garage things.
And when it won't all fit in, put some bikes on the back and anything super long on the roof rack:

I know its not much but it was a 2 hr trip to pick up a 2.5rs partout for my bro and mind you its pretty low. Its only meant to have kids on the back seats lol. Basically all interior pieces for the rs minus seats/door cards plus engine parts, steering rack, rear diff etc etc....
This is how low it was with all the stuff on there

It would of been a breeze if its a wagon but I was actually surprised I was able to fit all those items in the car with a passenger. Took half an hr to load it up though. It was like playing tetris lol

Right now, my BG has the following parts from my BE in the backseat and/or trunk:
All 4 stock wheels and tires.
BE Hood
Both sides Rear door glass
US Tail lights
Both new whiteline way bars
Stock 6 disc changer radio
6-CD and MD radio from a JDM Forester
Some random tools
Needless to say, it is a little cramped in there...

Beyond the typical homeowner landscaping stuff I've had:
60 12"x12" pavers (the tag said they weighed 36# each..)
80 bricks with 5 bags of leveling sand, 5 bags of river rocks, and 4 80# bags of quickrete. <- sketchy drive home
And a 7x7 shed on the roof. There is a picture of that in my member introduction thread. It is a plastic shed in a box. Bout 400 lbs. took it like a champ.
Also there was a bunch of stuff from a 98 gt part out I bought some of, including a complete engine and the front bumper now on my car.
I've done the 8ft ladder inside (dash to rear door).
I also once took a 7 foot tall tree home with most of it sticking out the passenger rear window lol. That was funny
Needless to say I get my use out of the cargo hauling capabilities of my car. Thinking about a tow hitch for some more flexibility too.

cant imagine how hard it would be to get that larger log on the top in there... and then out again...

To be fair, if that stuff is as seasoned as it looks like it is, probably not THAT heavy. Plus, none of the three are long enough to warrant folding the back seat down, soo...

Oh lol I did not notice the length on that and didnt look super close. Was just going off my past experience of cutting up logs of equal circumference after storms and having to clear the fallen trees, and know those suckers are a bitch to move when they are that big :smt016

If they are windfall logs too they are usually still green too, which adds a HUGE amount of weight. Up here we get seasoned cedar rounds that big that you can lift with one hand!

Yup still green but dang did not think they could get that light!. Course we dont rly have cedar here in WI mostly pine, maple, and oak.

I had a full sized arcade cabinet that I sold, and needed to deliver so I folded the seats down, crammed it in there, put a pillow between it and the hatch and drove it to the new owner! I didn't even think to take a picture.
Also, I'm homeless right now so I have 2 17 inch rims with tires, a crate guitar amp with 2 guitars, my tool box,3 backpacks and 2 duffel bags all full, and my ikea dresser crammed in there, not to mention all the other random crap I threw in there when I left.
