I agree with the direction of your build.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my X, and the OPs pic is very nice.

I am not saying it is impossible to make it capable off-road, but as others have mentioned, that's not what is was built for.....and that's a good thing.

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....

I like my truck, it gets dirty, i see alot jeeps with lift kits and huge tires and off road lights, I'm jealous of how clean they are! Just different strokes.

Looks awesome! What are the specs on your wheel tire combo? Thanks in advance..

e39 style 42 wheels, 20mm spacers and i'll have to look at the size for the tires for you.

Are you still running a -2 degree camber in the rear

265/70/17

I dialed a little out.

Thanks again, stock ride height? Last question... sorry to high jack OP. I haven't found alot of info on off road X5s
