Just joined the forum, big HELLO from Virginia! I haven't gotten an X yet but an going to very soon so I'm here for advise, and then after I get one I'll be here for all the mod info :help:
Right off the bat, I torn between the off-road and S trims. I'm going to replace the stock tires right away with better 265/75s which I assume is OK on the S with stock suspension since that size comes on the off-road so that's no advantage. I don't think I'll need the locking diff or springs since I'll be mostly beach driving and have been for years with no locking rear. I do like the skid plates since I've run over large pieces of wood just under the sand before that have popped up and hit the bottom. But at $2k more for the trim level, I think I can get plates cheaper. I do like the fog lights.
What say you, Xperienced owners?
