Congrats, that's a beast of a truck. As others have said, take it slow and break it in properly for best engine life.

Yup.
Congrats on your new ride.
I'm sure you'll love it.
Two main things to do before going to the MX track and jumping is shim the diffs and install engine protector.
If you land on the nose you may break a pinion gear in the diff. I have a diff shimming walkthru here-

This vid shows how to rig up the engine protector-

Hope this helps make your XL experience a trouble free one.

Happy bashing!!!
