You can wheel w/o damage if you pay attention to what you're doing.

I had my FIRST trail damage to the X only a few months ago...early morning after driving 3-4 hrs to get there...and pretty much driving asleep...maybe the first few yards of trail, I backed so my pass side mirror was shaved off by a tree...

I went a few more yards, and blew a bead on a tire...

I was able to re-set the bead with the OBA and buddies with a strap to squeeze the tire into position...

I superglued the mirror back on...looks like new.

In short, I have a lot of fun, but really, all the damage on the X is from when my wife drove it....no trail damage.

Mounting a full set of underbody skids, Shrockworks front/rear bumpers and sliders helps of course.
