I will add: I haven't done that for my Thing yet, but my Chevy has a solid trailer hitch on it, and when I am tailgated, usually by a Camaro, or something with an equally low front grille. My rear bumper is a perfect height for destroying a perfect radiator. :->he,he,he One evening I was driving home from Dallas to Austin, and I came upon a woman in one of those new Dodge cars(Cirrus or something like that), of course she was in the passing lane(it seems that I am the only one in the right lane, even if I am going faster than the traffic(people drive less than the speed limit unless it is 55 or less, than they drive 70+), well whenever someone comes up to her bumper, she pulls into the right lane, and as soon as that person passes her, she moves into the left lane, regardless of whether or not there is someone else waiting to pass. It gets ridiculous people in Texas refuse to move over, and they give you dirty looks if they do. Cheers from the right lane, David 74 Thing Wana-bus
