Thanks for the guys, I appreciate it. 

Tom what kind of gas mileage did you get before the mods?  Are there any common rust places other than under the fender flares?  Anything in particular I need to look for?
Mileage was about 24 MPG now it's about 18.
Tom do you mind me asking how much was your bumper?
Bumper was about $375
Where can I get a large roof basket?

To fit a trailer hitch do I need to cut the rear bumper?
No cutting required. I just order one yesterday off Fleabay $127 shipped.[/i]
With the towing capacitybe at 1500lbs does this include weight thats in the sidekick or just what is being towed?
Just what's being towed



Can anyone recommend a good inclimbometer?
