Yup, it appears to be pretty solid. I've had a 98, 2000 & a 2003. I've always loved Expy's and have driven them all over the country. Almost fell off a mountain in Utah in my 2k3... BARELY made it through the sand. 4 low, to the floor -- but it made it! We were pulling a 16ft trailer with three ATV's on it.
I just need to resize the pics then I'll upload them.
