I'm amazed by the X each and every time I go anywhere - what a great vehicle - Motor Trend picked it!!!
The X turned 1 yr old in June '08. Here's a video (well, 2) documenting the first year of ownership:

So, it all started simple enough...I wanted a vehicle that I could load up for the weekend and go camping with as well as transport my kayak.
I really had no plans of doing ANYTHING to the X. That is, until I found out what it could do - as a stocker. Well, then I wanted more out of it. So, first thing, was bigger meats - while I was at it, I stealthed the wheels with Duplicolor spray on bed liner.
Then it was time to lift it. I went with PRG's advanced 4WD setup. This includes new UCA's, front coilovers, rear shackles, an AAL, and new rear shocks. Total lift was somewhere around 3"
After lifting, I placed my order with Shrockworks...what a bill that was. Anyway, in between ordering and receiving (it takes forever), I hit a deer - just in time for a new front bumper. The insurance money actually paid for my Shrockworks front bumper - BONUS!!!
Shrock'd
I then needed extra storage room, so I got a Yak Load Warrior. In addition, I added some lights.
After doing a x-country xcursion, I really noticed how top-heavy the truck was with a load up top. That, and I really couldn't fit a ton of gear up top. Solution - GOBI. It's expensive as hell, but for expedition style travel, it's almost a necessity.
Well, after wheeling hard for 8 months, my rear leafs were pretty much flat. Solution - ALCANS
What a difference these things make. First of all, I gained my rear lift back (and then some). I also increased my load carrying capacity by 300#. These things are awesome!

personal fav
same spot, different line
and, one more for comparison to a pretty much stock X (Raven) and an X with 33's, PRG advanced setup and no BL (Cold Smoke)
OBA coming soon along with some other goodies
If you have any questions about anything I've done, just shoot.
