I added a Smittybilt Winch to the Liberty. Looks great and its built solid :twisted:

seems to stick out a little much with the hitch adapter plate though =/

Go to a synthetic rope and flat aluminum failead and you will lose about 2.5" and 25 pounds of weight. Make is much lighter to put on and remove too.

probably? I think it mostly helps with noise at highway speeds (especially if you have junk in the basket) - but I don't notice all that much difference in mpg w/ or w/out the basket (I drive ~ 60 miles a day w/40ish of those on the highway).
