I have a 93 xe, stock. I have followed my jeep friends afrer they were sure I was going to get stuck in my "city truck". I had no problems and got further than one guy that had open diffs. I used to drive a 90 k5 Blazer with 4" bl and 33x12.5. The Pathfinder gets through Colorado's tight treed trails much easier, and it hasn't been stuck yet...
I am planning to put on some Thorleys and 31, or 33's within the next year.
