Default Dalton ML 300 Sizing

Quick question.. Does anyone know if the Mark Leseberg 300 will fit in a Suburban or Yukon? My Dalton 260 fits without having to take anything off, but just barely.

Pictures would be great if anyone has any.

The ML edition is a full 10 inches longer (im pretty sure) so you might have to make the rudder removable.

I can help you with this........ NO. I have a 04 Expedition, and only a Dalton 300 or a 260 will just fit. That's with the rudder on. You would have to make sure your SUV is longer than a Ford Expedition for a MEL300 to fit. Your going to be staring at the back of the air plane cause it's going to be right at the rear view mirror. The only reason why I know is cause I've done it a few times with my wifes Ford. Rob

Thanks for the info Matt. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you take a picture with it in the vehicke and post it? I'm in no big hurry, so don't go rush right out and do it.

I'd just like to see how you did it. Front forward? Rear forward? What do you have to remove to make it an inch to spare?
