A land vehicle includes an improved construction that can space a steering linkage from the terrain even though an engine for the vehicle has an oil pan positioned at a lower portion of the engine and the steering linkage passes below the engine. The land vehicle includes a drive unit that depends from a body frame and abuts the terrain. The body frame carries the engine. The oil pan is positioned generally at a bottom of the engine and lubricant oil temporarily accumulates in the oil pan. A steering assembly is connected to the body frame for steering movement. The steering assembly includes a pair of skis and a steering linkage extending through the body frame and arranged to steer the skis. The steering linkage and the oil pan, at least in part, are generally horizontally juxtaposed with each other.
