Thanks man! I'm all about taking "uncool" cars and giving them new life. And I haven't gone to RDM yet but that is first on my list of places to bring the wagon, just gotta get a Sunday afternoon off.

it always looked funny without the rack when it was 4x4 status, but you do have a good point, it might make it much sleeker without it

Proper.
