Shorty Forty, I did the exact same as you. Enzed tapped out a fitting for me and I used that. Yes you do lose a bit of probe length, but mine seems to be working fine.

Get a set of extended swaybar disconnects to fix the swaybar problem. As for the rubber melting you may have to move the exhaust and while your at it put in a 3" system.

The towbar is an easy place to put it, but just be careful because as said it will tip to the side very easy and unless it is in 4wd it will also roll forwards.

Not many km's for the year model. I'm starting to see the price of these vehicles has come down slightly. My guess is the cost of diesel. I think a lot of people are leaning the way of duel fuel. You didn't say if it has any accessories on it? Because of the low km's I'm guessing between $33-36k.
