How about video?
X is bone stock in this vid (still is, but that's about to change), except for the Manik brush guard. And yes, the brakes were wet, it had just rained all weekend and this was the first it had been driven since. I know it's not the most technical off-roading an X has ever done, but oh well. And yes, I tried to hit it at an angle like all smart off-roaders know, but when I turned the wheels, they didn't have any traction and I just kept sliding straight down, so I figured it would be better to hit it straight on with the wheels straight, rather than straight on with the wheels turned. I think I have some decent pics too, but they're on my external HD, and that's not hooked up right now.

Well, don't have any pics on the trail, but did some light off roading in mine last month. This is after I came home before I washed it. Doesn't look like much on the body, but underneath was caked!

My dad was driving, and he didn't know to stop I was screaming at him to stop, but he kept going and put some nice scratches in the bumpers plastic. I guess at least he's the one that has to deal with my mom (it's her's) and it's not me.
