Is there some slight differences between the years in regards to the holes in the chassis for bolting accesories to (this infernal towbar for example) In other words do i need to go and spend a few more hundred $$$$ on a new towbar to suit the 97 model Anyone got any suggestions!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Re: towbar problems (yes i know more problems) [Re: flyinwall] #983880 02/04/10 09:38 AM Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 336 Fairbanks Alaska 2002_Sporty Mudrunner I looked this up on http://www.hitchsource.com/ Looks like they sell these: Roadmaster STD Tow Bar Brackets | 95-97 Kia Sportage [RM_2102-1] Roadmaster XL Tow Bar Brackets | 98-02 Kia Sportage [RM_2104-1] This dosen't mean that they can't be adaptive, but I have no clue sorry.
