Talking new X owner, need advise

Just bought my new X...2002 XE V6 4x4... less than a month ago, I just discovered this forum. I think I've read every thread in this forum, and have gained some valuable info. The more I read, the more I have questions, due to the fact I'm inexperienced with off-raoding (Been off-roading many times with father when little but, inexperienced with maintainence regarrding off-road vehicles). ANYWAY.....

My questions are:

Why choose manual hubs over automatic (for serious off-roaders)
What type of cleaning/maintainence/inspections do you perform post
off road trips (going thru water, mud, etc...)
Do I still need to trim the fender when I add 31's (I currently have
P265/70R16's)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So many questions...to little space to type!!!!!

Was considering getting brush guard, but I decided against that...thanks
Chainsaw and rrdstarr! Your sharing of wisdom came just in time!

I almost forgot....Nissan doesn't have a bug shield yet for my 2002 X
Go figure?!?!?! Instead I went with a Lund! (My first Mod.!!!!) What a
beauty! I hate to post a pick (b/c it won't be an off-road shot, all I have is driveway)...........Was planning on going off-road until my company sent me out to California for 3 months for thermal testing on Satellites

Help! Thanks for your newbie patience
