Jimbo... or gymbo...

Dude, relax. You're the first 06 out there with the rear carrier. So you had to do a little bit of "work!"

You are the exact guy that I posted about in this thread: http://www.xterraownersclub.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=78;t=001201;p=2

I don't think you have an inferior product... you just don't know what you have... damn newbie!

BTW - mine has been on order since July 4th and I ain't complaining... its people that are unappreciative like YOU that make product developement slow down! Way to go!
