progress update:
Lift kit installed - Only did 1.5" in the front and AirLift ‘helper’ springs in the back (to stiffen it up for towing and carrying the cargo rack), but along with the larger than stock tires I went from 5.1" of ground clearance to roughly 7.4". More than the new Rav4 or CR-V 
And some custom fab work on the tow hitch
The two receivers are for the carrying rack for the snowblower.
Also had the vehicle undercoated while it was in the shop. Not going to make the same mistakes as I did with the Toaster, like letting it rust out from under us!
I’m getting such a kick out of how everyone calls these cars “trucks”. Even the mechanic caught himself saying it in his voicemail: “just calling to let you know your truck… err, rig is all done here…”
