Good ground clearance, articulation, tire size, and an oxidizing paint job make this a great off-roading machine.

I drive like I stole it, for real, every turn is a screech, every stop leans forward, and lead is too light for my shoes.
This vehicle has made three trips from CO to CA successfully, and has never let me down.

Justin from Blanchard. I know how you feel; I have a 95 Nissan Pathfinder that has a good body but bad frame. It runs good but I can't drive it. I got it for 4000. It only has 14k miles on it. I wish that there was a good frame out there that I can buy for cheap that I can use to get my Nissan on the road again.
