Thank you for the replies (and the comedy). Since last post, I flew to California and picked up an '08 H3 non-Alpha (Alpha would be nice but was cost prohibitive). Really enjoyed the 350 mile, 15mpg ride home.
I'll be taking it in to get it looked over tomorrow before I attach anything to it. At 76k, it feels like it needs some better shocks (looking at the Rancho's), jerks a little when I cut to the right too even after i got the alignment & some new Toyos. so.. idler arm or something.
It's all good. Time to have some fun.

Thanks all for the assistance. Seems the FunVee does fine pulling both boat and trailer over small hills. I find that the temp fluctuates a little more on a 5cyl (or maybe it's time for a new thermostat).
I do have a problem though. Seems whenever I pull anything, I get a lot of kickback when traveling at speed or accelerating. I added a key to the receiver so it wouldn't jiggle but still get the bounce. Thoughts?

Oh.. the pics
I've made a few subtle changes:
Shot the wheels in gun metal satin, scuffed the grill with 800 grit to give it a stainless (no bling) look & a little red pin stripe
