Awesome rig. You differently took the soccer mom vehicle out of the X fast. Also looks like you did your homework before hand which is always great to see. So what made you switch vehicles with the wife?

Thanks for all the feedback!

As for why I traded... I'm in sales and was driving all over, the Maxima was comfortable, a little bit of fun, looked good enough and got decent mileage. My job switched up a little and now all of my customers are local in KC, so the X was doable. That and I swap vehicles every 2-3 years, so it was time for something new. Taking the X and modding the **** out of it is going to be way cheaper than what I was previously planning: M5 vs CLS63. Now I'm pretty sure I could drive over one of those...

What are your long term goals for the X? Looks like you're off to a good start. :)

I'd say over the next 2 years is to have a reliable DD that I can have some fun with. I'll invest in armor, kicking around the idea of bumpers (probably won't happen - I'm an instant gratification kind of person and waiting 6 months on Shrock doesn't appeal to me) and probably re-gear to get some of the drive-ability back that I lost with the bigger tires... And if I'm going to re-gear then lockers are a no brainer while in there. Then I'll be done... yeah, right.

2+ years... who knows. I may keep it as a toy and go nuts... TS... SAS... Exocage... Rocket launchers?

Cheers!

Gotta love an all black X! What is that a 40" light bar? I want.

Yeah, I'm a fan. :) It's a 40" Totron DC spot/flood combo. Group buy over on TNX. PM N.Y.X. - him or his brother are always placing orders. May not get the group buy price, but they're still dirt cheap for what they are.
