I made the plunge last night. A new 07 FDII with 500 test drive km's on it. I'm kind of sad to see my 96 Jimmy go to the dealer for $500, but didn't want to deal with selling an old gas guzzler with very few options.
Yes, the hood is loose.
Yes, the tow wiring harness is missing - but I've asked for it.
No, I don't have a sunroof, so it doesn't leak!
Yes, I've got a 2" hitch on order that I'll install myself.
Yes, I'd love to add on the 2" lift, although will drive it for a while first to see if I really need it.
One thing you guys didn't mention - the crossbars on the roof rack are really good and solid! My Jimmy had flimsy plastic factory crossbars that I put Thule's over.
I spent the last 3 weeks reading everything I could on this site. The stress is slowly wearing off, but I still have to go make my downpayment today, then it should all be gone and I can go have fun in my Patriot!

Also, if you travel fast enough, you actually only hit the face of the bump and you can fly over the rest of it, making it a smoother transition.:wow:
