1999 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America

Not in any order, but all very recent due to heavy use and abuse.

Front wheel bearings started going bad only after getting stuck in a pond for four hours.

Crankshaft position sensor fusible link blew when off-roading, fixed it on the spot, and now I also have an engine kill switch.

Rear differential exploded during a desert race.

4wd vacuum actuator doesn't engage, I'm guessing because of the aforementioned pond and/or dirt, lots of dirt.

Water pump gave up about a week ago.

Alternator stopped working a few weeks after I installed a 3000 Watt stereo, replaced with an O.E. Duralast Gold at 110A (20A over previous) and my headlights don't dim anymore.

Oh and the levers to tilt both front seats back are weak, the only things I can't understand breaking...

This vehicle (completely stock besides intake and exhaust) has gotten me through some brutal conditions without a complaint, and the things that did break were completely caused by heavy operator abuse.

Very comfortable ride, even on trails.

Has more than enough power to handle anything reasonable, and also enough to handle the unreasonable.

I would like more leg room though, feels slightly cramped after driving a spacious caravan for a few years, but I got used to it quickly.
