    So does that make my Xterra not an Xterra because I am having a custom
    expedition roofrack installed as the original one (which many think gives it
    it's personality) is less useful than many originally believed? and the
    step rails, which were made out of paper thin aluminum alloy, are being
    replaced with a set of rock sliders. Does this not make it an Xterra?

    My definition of what makes a vehicle this or that.

    What does your bank think it is?

    What does the DMV classify it as?

    If either of these are Land Rover, then you got a Land Rover. There are
    different classifications, creampuff, well used, expedition, trail rig, etc.
    But when all is said and done, it's still a land rover to the DMV, DOT, MOT,
    whoever.

    Ahhh! So it's not all black and white anymore. Now we have shades of
    gray.

    I kind of hoped you'd see the light Marin :-{)}
