I dunno about wheeling, but I had one for years. I think it was a 92. Anyway, I ran the piss out of it and it still ran great when I sold it with 225K. I think it's still around and running. They aren't that great on fuel mileage though.
My dad has an iszuz pup that this is 23 years old now and it still runs, i think it has 250K but im not totally sure. All i know is that it has a crap load of miles and still runs kind of. I don't think it would be good for wheeling but as a dd it will do fine.
