That "small segment" also just happens to be a group of people with no four wheeling experience prior to buying an Xterra.
Interesting how you think that group can make or break a company. Break Xterras yes, but not a company.

Many people asked for a complete rear bumper, with corner replacements.
Steve made one (in a week), and everyone said it sucked. It was ugly too, but experienced 4 wheelers will take function over form any day.

Steve then created the new bumper (which is perfect), and it's still getting bashed by people with no mechanical design knowledge whatsoever. People who had never even seen the bumper claimed it wasn't strong enough.

The same thing is happening again with the redesinged front bumper, and I would appreciate it if everyone would just shut the fuck up until it is released.

Truly amazing.
