so i just moved into the Fenway area and the parking situation is horrible. parking is scarce and vehicles park millimeters away from each other. takes me half an hour just to find a spot i'm comfortable with.

which hitch step bar are ppl using here? i know some folks have the 36" GoRhino bar. there is a 40" bar on eBay... anyone know which one Bantam has, looks good.

need you recommendations.

thanks

Lookin' Good NYC!

I like some of the things you've done to your VX. What are the shifters?

Also, this may be a dumb question, but what do you use the hitch for? I read in the owner's manual that the VX is not recommended for towing. I've got an 18' Sea Ray I'd love to tow, but didn't think I could get away with it.

Yes, I do have the 36" Go Rhino bar. It fits nicely between the dual tailpipes.

Thanks Bantan, you made my day. Now I don't have to borrow a friends truck or sell the boat, which I may end up doing anyway due to lack of use. But hey, now that I can tow it again that may change. I think I'll hit the river this weekend now!

By the way, I liked the comarison in the comments to the Cherokee. My ex got the Grand Cherokee in the divorce, so I've been use to towing with that vehicle and didn't have problems.

On Your Left,

They are Razo shifter knobs, and I don't tow, just show ;)

NYC, thanks. what model are yours and will all Razo fit a VX or just yours? Was it an easy install or did it take some muscling?

The Razo fits but vibrates to the point where it drives you crazy sometimes... Theres another brand that is just as popular which of course I can't remember right now that has the same one I have on my gallery and theres sometype of pin in there that makes it not vibrate. I had a shop install it..
