Thanks alot Xorand! Plenty of info. If anyone else has some more info like this, please share it!

If I were to get a winch, would it mount onto a brush guard. I don't want to get a whole new bumper. I just want an add on component that would allow for a winch.

For all of you that say, start out with the best. It's hard for a 20 yr old with only 2 years of credit history to be able to buy a new 4x4 Xterra. Maybe in about 5 years or so, I'll be able to do something like that.

Anyway, its a step up from the '02 Ford Focus I had which was my first 'new' car. I got it at 18% APR, which was a rip off I know, but I was a first time buyer with the car in only my name, and no co signer.

Well I got the Xterra at 10% APR, which is so much better. So maybe in about 5 years, I'll be able to get a much better rate.

Anyways, that's a little off topic... so back on track!
