Hells bells - these have been getting awful write-ups.

Conflicting news about crash tests too. Some of the early ones being total death traps. This is horrific!

What have the Chinese done to the old faithful Rodeo - Frontera - Passport design :sick:
I mean, the chassis on a Rodeo/Frontera does not buckle like that! What have they done? Have they taken away the front square chassis member to try and create a crumple zone?

Study this: the rear chassis member doesn't look as though it's a one-piece unit. As the front disintegrates the rear chassis visible above the wheel isn't displaying any push-back movement!

Modifications: 1957 Registration Number. Chrome A Bar. Screw-on side indicator lenses. That's about it really. The secret is in the servicing and rust prevention. Do all my own.

Planning: Just to keep it as it is for as long as possible.

:oh yer: That's shocking and an embarrassment to frontera owners. Chinese can't make anything that's remotely safe. :x
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!
