Hey there, so I just took the plunge and bought my first pinball machine! It's a Data East Jurassic Park which I will be picking up on Tuesday. My question is regarding transportation on how I'll be getting it home into my house.

I've been searching on this forum and have seen threads that indicate my 2016 Outback won't work for this. Curious if anyone knows if a newer Toyota Rav4 will fit the machine? I've seen that most models fit pinball machines, but was just unsure because of how big the Data East backboxes are. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Secondary (and tertiary) question. Would two fit guys be able to lift it and carry it out, or is it needed to get a handcart? Lastly, should I take the glass out when folding down the backbox for transportation, or no need to?

Appreciate all the help, can't wait to get this thing in my house!

This is all extremely helpful. Seems like the Rav4 will do and also was planning on putting a towel or blanket between the glass and backglass, so we're set. Going to get ratchet set and a hand truck just to be safe.

Going to be a tough 48hrs wait!

Uh oh Safe Cracker being snug makes me a little nervous because that's a much smaller machine right? Maybe it's just shorter and not so much different taller?

Confirmed with my buddy that he has a 2018 Rav4
