Well then you're in the wrong thread. This a joke thread started by a WJ owner. Obviously, comparing a stock X to the Rubi is a moot point. The Rubicon a good, solid starting point for a trail rig. If you call that a real bumper, you are sadly mistaken. I know very few TJ trail rigs that have opted to keep the stock bumper.

Grocery store experience doesn't count. Going through a mud puddle or a sandy road isn't wheelin'.
You are also misinformed (again?) about the Dana 44 being stronger than the Nissan H233B.
The bottom line is that the Xterra is a better platform to build an offroad rig from than a unibody such as the WJ or the CR-V.[/b]Uh, the original question was are Xterras good offroad. I compared it directly to what I actually drive, rather than winging it.
I've made the offer before Jeff, and I'll make it again. Come on down to our easy to drive State and I'll hook you up with a couple of buddies of mine. They'll give you an education of what we call swamp.
Oh, and on my planet, the horizon is horizontal, you poser:
Gee, doesn't look as tough now, eh?
And I wasn't comparing an Xterra to a Rubicon, but rather our Unlimited, which ALSO comes with a Dana 44 standard.
Buy yourself a new Xterra, we'll chain my steel bumper against your plastic one, then let the fun begin. FWIW, people tow Jeeps via the front bumper.
I think my Xterra is great, but I don't kid myself either. You can armchair quaterback all you want, you're still a poser.
