hi all.. kiwi here

hi guys.. can you fill me in please.....

what would be in the spare switch spots on the dash of the vehicross.? down under the hazzard light switch i notice 3 more switch blanks.. what would be in there on some models?

what is the widest and best fit tyre for the factory rims? which you prob dont get buy here are a 7" rim 16" dia. factory tyre size here is 245/70/16

if you search www.trademe.co.nz and this auction number: 118468142 you will see some really cool light bars which im thinking of putting on my vx.. anyone tried these? also.. really cheap with US $$$ if any of you think they are good..

thanks all:)

the vehicross shares its dashboard with isuzu rodeos/honda passports... additional switches you find on those are fog light switches, tailgate release switches... rear windshield wiper... and 4wd... i think 4wd is the one that would go in the spot below the hazard light.. but since the VX has full time 4wd there is no need for a switch... the alarm light would be replaced with the rear windshield wiper switch in a rodeo or passport... and there is another switch panel that takes the place of the fuzzy hole on the other side of the steering wheel... thats where the tailgate release, fog light switches etc would go

I really like those lights. I didnt see if they shipped to the US?

The 99 US version had 16x7"JJ wheels, 00 & 01 versions had 18x7"JJ wheels.

285/75x16" (almost 33" in diameter/9" tread) is about the biggest you should go on the stock rim...you could go bigger, but the rim width should be wider.

You'll also need some lift & a bit of trimming to fit @ that size.

i like the lights.. im going to buy some next week.. ill test them out and put some photos up then you guys can let me know if you want some.. ill ship to the US if the guy selling them doesnt.. they would be dirt cheap even with shipping with the exchange rate...

I had 265/70x16" before, & had to trim just a bit from the front inside corner of the cladding. Make friends with the forums search function found in the left sidebar of the home page. Try "trim cladding" & you'll see what I mean.

There's a couple of guys with the same or similar rack and they do indeed look good. Not many VXes in NZ or AU - I've got a few AU magazine articles posted here:

My favorite is that last one listed Wheels 2-98: "A Lemon in Orange" - funny stuff there.

Did you ever get that light bar. I want to put this on my Christmas list if it looks right.
