Hi,
We also bought sight unseen and had the mods made before we saw it (except for a Teraflex 2.5-inch lift).

Here's mine.  A bit more special purpose than your Jeeps, but then she gets me to the coast in comfort too.

Ernie - that's the color I was looking for when Rubicon shopping - I love the yellow (and easy to see on the trail) :p!  I was having a difficult time finding an automatic 2005/6 Unlimited (the LJ) Rubicon, so color took on a secondary attribute.

Nice surf fishing rig Lou!
 
One pic of our Avi clearing the driveway but notice there is no plow, we don't use conventional methods in our household  ;D . We just spin around and drive up and down until a path is cleared for other vehicles...it's fun and free (except for the gas) and the good time doing it.....priceless.

The other pic is the poor Avi preparing for a "for sale" sign to be put on. We can't tow them both fulltiming and towing a 3/4 ton truck just seems a little silly so the Vue goes with us and the Avi finds a home that will hopefully appreciate such an awesome truck! We did have good times with it since 05 though.

When we had our yellow Xterra (ol' yeller), we were always tailgunner at QZ, Moab and other off-road forum rallies. The ride leader was always able to spot us at the rear. Boy we miss ol' yeller. The attached picture has Ron Ruward spotting for me.

We don't have any snow clearing experience at the ranch and I hope it stays that way :D.  I can't imagine life without my pickup truck.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!  Actually I'll have to give credit to DW - I gave her a choice of black, white, or safety yellow for the skid plates since I had those colors in Rustoleum available 8).

Here's a picture of Rubi on the trailer today at Tom Sawyer's RV Park on the Mississippi River at West Memphis, AR.

I love it when fate steps in to make our decisions. ;D
 
Here's mine in a poser shot the day I brought it home.  A '12 Nissan Xterra Pro4x 6MT.  Compared to the base, this one comes with upgraded suspension, thin skid plates(as opposed to none) and rear locker. I don't wheel much, I just wanted something offroad worthy in its stock form as once in a while, I like leaving the pavement sometimes driving across a ditch or over an embankment to go onto an old fire or logging road.  Those old roads are often washed out and have some mud.


If I was a serious wheeler, I'd replace the bumper, add thicker skid plates and sliders.


A Jeep was not a consideration for a few reasons:  local dealer burnt me when I had a Jeep and I hold a grudge, an unlimited Ruby is more expensive than a Pro4x due to financing rate, and the lower towing capacity.  The first reason was the main one.


Only upgrade I did to it was ditch the BFG Rugged Trail(pavement only tire even if the name says otherwise) in exchange for GoodYear Duratracs.

Nice looking ride Marc!  The Xterra was my first choice when we were shopping for our first toad.  Two things steered us away - DW didn't like the visibility over the hood and the auto tranny model wasn't authorized to tow 4-down.  I had to have an auto for the trail so we never bought an Xterra.

We ran into a large Nissan group at Moab last year - I think they had a couple of hundred participating on trail runs in the area.
 
It's GONE Moab (Gathering of Nissan Enthousiast).  I've seen pictures and videos of it, but never went.  It would take me several days and lots of gas to go there. 
 
having fun around Page Az, stock Jeep Wrangler.
