Heyjim, thanks for your post. Over 1,000 people looked but only 26 contibuted to it.
Probably because 974 like me find the subject is not all that interesting. Well not enough to get into a blue about it. More interested in some of the comments and how they expectedly progress into perceived conflict. Then I'm taking me ball home post's . It's a laugh.
Aesthetically it could be better ? I bet the manufacture would say you haven't bought the outback edition etc...
Fittings and connections will possibly work ok on the good roads ..
The manufacturer would argue you took it off road ??
Be like me complaining to Toyota my Corolla wont go where the Land cruiser goes.. LOL
