I bought the X because of its on-road performance, IMO, it's a high-performance crossover. I have a 4Runner and and H1....both very differant and both very good off-road, as that's what they were built for. (But both slow and neither would I consider great while on-road.)
I think the X platform would be a losing battle (money wise) to convert it to a true off-road vehicle. Again, not saying it can't be done, but it's awd system is meant for performance as well as improved traction/handling on wet/snowy roads.
I don't think it comes to "having a big pair to try new shit." Just comes to common sense...adding bigger tires, a lift, and off-road lights make it look like an off-road vehicle, but those are minor items compared to the items that are really needed....
