pulled trigger for 2 items, cross bars & hitch

summer is coming and I can't resist accessorizing. spent a ton of money on my Forester which wound up disappointing me so I'm trying the best I can to resist all the same goodies like skid plates etc. with my Jeep. I still have my roof basket so I ordered some aftermarket cross bars which seem to have good reviews. I also scheduled a U-Haul hitch install which should go OK despite all the negatives I've read. someone I work with always has U-Haul do their hitch and they change their car lease every 2 years. I guess I'll come back to this thread as I get these 2 things hooked up
