Reliable transportation in the winter time mountains was my primary motivation for buying the Pathy OffRoad but I would to try some recreational off roading. So what do you think is this truck a serious off road vehicle?

serious off road vehicle? what do you mean by this? can it run the paris to dakkar rally? can it climb the nearly vertical slick-rock ledges of moab?
i would assume (just from experience and little knowledge) that the answer to those two questions would be and emphatic "No!"
an off road vehicle is only as good as the person behind the wheel. for example, i'd take Ivan Stewart in a bone stock Frontier (although he drives a Yota) over myself (or the majority of the people on here) in a fully built trophy truck. Rock crawling is a whole other beast, so i wont even touch that.
I'd say with practice, common sense, patience, more practice, you can have fun in an 05 Pathy. I've taken my Frontier on mountain trails and have done just fine (even without the rear locker).
