This looks like one I've seen around, but it's a Sidekick right? The Samuai definitely has some broad based appeal. Former auto shop teacher at JD had one that I got to check out a bit. He would occasionally take it out of Juneau on hunting trips. Local artist Bill Spear has one here during summer. I think he drives or ferries it down to California for the winter, where more adventurious driving possibilities exist. He's always been somewhat eccentric. Now quite well off financially, and well into his 70's, he's driving around town in a lifted blue/green Samurai.I do like those little guys. Local friend has two he built. The white one was a recent pickup that had been used at an off-grid island cabin. Toyota axles!

And they’re good for pulling out stuck jeeps
Re: my last post - should have said there’s no *legal* offroading other than a couple areas for quads. We have a select few micro-spots that are accessible, but don’t think I’d take a larger rig.
Some offroad enthusiasts I talked with in Haines seem to prefer smaller, lighter rigs for their routes. Older Toyota mini trucks and 4Runners, for instance. There are also a lot of Land Cruisers to be found there, 40's, 60's, 80's and a few Unimogs too. Jeeps? Not so much.
