MAC,
My H2 has only had cosmetic surgery twice. Not like Peter Pan's (a.k.a. Micheal Jackson)face. Just kidding. At least when we take our H2's to the surgeon it doesn't come back looking worse.
Regarding your statement about the missing hitch step. I will not get a hitch step since I have a winch power plug for hooking my Warn 9.5ti winch to my rear reciever hitch. I also have it powered to the front of my H2. What I have done in the past and it has worked is to use the current D-ring just below the bumper and ladder for my step onto the bumper and then the Gobi ladder.

The ladder ran around $275.00. Check with Sandra on pricing.
I'm looking forward to sitting up on the roof during the summer for the fourth of July fireworks.
Respectfully yours,
Gary
