Thanks everyone for the welcome...
Insofar as the mods, it's not so much that they're more expensive than the Jeep's, but damn, they're hard to find. I guess I got spoiled by what's available for Jeeps, but, heck, even in the Jeep world, the Cherokee was 2nd fiddle to what was available for the Wranglers. So it just means that I'm going to have to work harder at it, that's all...
insofar as to where I'm from, well, let's see... I live in the LA Southbay area now (Torrance) but I lived in San Diego for about a ten years, so Anza Borrego is my favorite off road locale. In fact the picture of the Xterra in the sand was taken at Font's Point when she only had like 500 miles on her and right before going on the Calcite Mine trail. Would love to eventually find good spots closer to home so it doesn't always have to take 3 hors to find a decent trail.
Hope to go on some trails with some of you guys down the road, and take care.
