Hey. If you like it, it’s all that matters! For a daily driver, I’m sure it does a lot more than people think. I hope I see this one around somewhere.

No new mods yet. Just ordered a Drawtite hitch and hoping to order a hitchgate early September. Here are some pics from a trail ride through Delaware Valley Water Gap National Park(Jersey side) with MtnRoo NE, Garden State Overland, and Subie Snails.

Looks like great place and your rig looks great too!
If you are going for the Wilco swing gate, you might consider a custom. Those go for ~$600 and that's just too much in my opinion for the product. My area you can find custom bumper guys doing stuff via Craigslist, starting about $600.

Thanks man, I am looking into a fairly local custom shop who can do a custom rear bumper.

I can't believe it's been a year since I posted anything. Nothing really major. I ended up getting the Hitchgate but didn't like it so I sold it. I plan to eventually get the ADF kit but I have other priorities right now. I'm actually going to be doing the FXT lift on my 97OBS 4EAT. I picked up a 50/50 switch that I plan to install with the lift. I'm also going to swap the Sparcos onto my OBS and get some stock size Continental TerrainContact A/T. I also plan to eventually do a cut front bumper liker Blubaru and move my fog lights into the center of the bumper. I want it to be a kind of grey man soft roading vehicle.
