thing is also .. you'd be buying someone elses "junk" you have no idea of what it's been threw , or how well it's been maintained .. ohhhh!!! but it was drivin by my grandmother to the grocery store .. yeah right ! could you imagine going on a thousand mile adventure , and having nothing but problems and mechanical issues all the way home??????


I understand what your saying .. but ....seriously ! it's really not feesable for us Canadians .

When you say strength can you clarify? Dent resistant? As much as I enjoy getting trail damage, I'm tired of the wife reminding me that my side has more than hers but of course I spend most of my time looking in her direction if it wasn't for birth control we'd have our own football team and I wouldn't be able to afford my 4x4 or more like $x$ hobby.
