One dya we were goin muddin and my buddy brought his 4x4 burb and i went through more mud then he did and he almost got stuck (grant he had stock street tires). But still i am impressed.
I would agree... I took my X an awful lot of places in 2wd than I ever expected it'd go. I dragged my camper all over the mountains of Colorado last winter (in a LOT of snow) and only 'had' to use 4wd a couple times.

The X is actually quite surprising on the trail -- I havent been able to find anyplace that (with some skill) I couldnt get the X. In fact, the longer wheel base is deceptive... I used to hang up my Jeep on that hump in those pics of my X. Before I tried it, I would have sworn I'd high center it there.

The bad thing with the X, just like my pickup when you do get them stuck they are a PITA to get out! I know from plenty of experience.
