Darn.. I have wedding planning and appointments on that day. And that distance would be out of my budget for the time being.

Alright just be careful and take spare parts. Talking from experience down there. You will be good to do level one and 2 trails, some 3s but full skids and slate parts are highly recommended

So i'm starting a new project on the heep and it requires me to take my hitch off.

I put the impact on the mounting bolts and all of them just spun in place. So I took the rear bumper off to get inside the unibody... and not only did they (Who ever installed the hitch) not use nut-strips... but after they bolted the hitch to the frame they just threw the nut-strips inside the frame not attached to anything...

On the good side... that should eliminate some rattling in the rear of jeep.


Just thought I would share.
