Thanks, that link really is a great starting point. And thanks for all the info from everyone else as well. I forgot to check the box to send me e-mails when I get replies, so I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 pages worth of replies when I logged on smile

I am a beginner when it comes to off-roading. I have no intentions of going out and finding a cliff to try climbing. Honestly, my X will probably never go further than your typical public park or wilderness trail, and probably just for camping. But eventually I'd love to get serious and find some real rough terrain to drive over.

Someone suggested tires as the first upgrade, so I'll do some searching in the wheel and tire forum and see what kinds of suggestions people have. How well will the stock tires handle in snow? Being November, snow should start flying in the next month or so here in Columbus.
