from been a car fanatic to be a 4x4 craze is a quite a bit of a transformation. so last year we decided we will settle for 4x4. The list was narrowed down to Jeep Wrangler( Brand new), exterra ( Brand New), pathfinder(2000-2003) coz i never liked the R51 and the modal after that .. wife and i voted for a used one as we are going to use it for off roading didn't want to feel bad about abusing a new vehicle. then the hardest part was to find a reliable used vehicle as the mileages are crazy in this part of the world.One of our family friend was selling his wife's R50 paid little over 7500$ 2003, SE with 134k on the clock. maintained by the agents and full history in a file:bike_rider:. ( sweet)
