You would have to SAS the front and rear of that thing! It has independent rear according to this picture below.

Speaking of small SUV's, is it just me or do the old 1988 Dodge Raiders look like Land Rovers? I did some research on those little buggers, and they seem like pretty awesome offroaders!

i had a 1988 Mitsubishi Montero (same exact thing as the Dodge Raider). everyone thought it was a land rover. i barely ever corrected them, lol. i'd give anything to have that p.o.s. back now, lol... it was so fun to drive.
