An adventure series H3 is what I would buy. Cloth seats a 4 to 1 transfer case 33 inch tires and an eaton locker. A longer warranty and better fit and finish. Sticker price of 32,945 and i could probably squeek out a grand of discount.

If you took a stock X added a locker, larger tires, a lower T-case gear and a lift to match the ground clearance you are at or over the same price. But you still won't have the approach and departure angles or the traction control.

Believe it or not traction control works excellent off-road.

I can say these things because i drive the trucks every day on and off road and am very familiar with the capabilites of both the X and the H3.
An '05 X with (stock) locker and a 4.5" lift can hang with an H3 no problem. Add an lsd up front just for for good measure.

The H3 also has a longer wheelbase and significantly wider axles. It may not be an issue where you're at, but I assure you it's a big issue in CO.

But regardless, Dennis (the one talkin' sh!t) owns an H2. That thing can't fit down half of the trails down here.

The H3 is a nice rig. I just had to retort to the troll who comes around our forum and talks smack about Nissan.
