All I can say is I love my 2wd X.
It has enough cargo room to carry everything I want and with LSD, I've had no problems... yet.
I like off roading but not to a point where I'm going to tear up my baby. If I get stuck, no prob. My friends will get me out. Simple as that.
On top of which, clean X is a chick magnet!
2wd X rocks. 'nuff said.
