One item was replaced before I bought it- it has a posi front pumpkin! that means no driving down the road in 4x unless the stuff has really hit the fan! But- it sure does 4x good (or is it six by when you have six tires?) I have pushed snow so deep 4bying to my place in willow it was coming up over the windshield- the grill was my snow plow- I had to crawl out the window to get out. I keep 1500 lbs of plate steel in the back to smooth the ride and give me rear traction, and the thing will sink right down through the snow and bite with the studs on the ice. That is why it is a "cruisingram" vs a "stuck ram" LOL
