Yup. And it weighs at least 10 lbs. Since its only supported on the extreme 
ends and the shoulder harnesses slide on and pull from 12-18" toward the 
unsupported center, it has to be massive to keep from bending too much when 
you smack something hard and use the harnesses. But adding a third bolt in the 
center to better support the bar would require pulling the rear glass, 
drilling & reinforcing the window frame area after finding a good welder to 
assemble all the extras. A better plan might be adding a bracket to the floor 
and using extended harness straps like are used in sedans. But to my knowlege, 
no one's ever been killed or injured using a Hall bar, so.... FWIW- J
