just a little side note- whats up with those little 'bars'(lack of a better word) that come stock on the front of vehicles in other countries??? right above the front license plate (where his lights are mounted)....how come we dont have anything like that?? i would love to have a little mounting bracket like that stock on my vehicles

I sourced those lights at some point back in the day...I have always meant to get some.


Those tires are remolds right?

and a hell of lot better looking:bgwg:

Mean !!!!. Cant wait to do mine. Very Nice job.

Very nice set of meet crotch;Now you all set up for off roading therefore. :)

Great

CROTCHROCKET--- Well done. Looks nice. I'm glad everything finally worked out for you in the end.

I really like your concept of how to wash your concept. The guy gets it dirty, and the girl has to clean it. Interesting theory, but might not always work here in the USA. Ever since we gave USA women the right to smoke and vote, we kinda' lost our persuasive edge.

Peanut Butter-Kid (PBKID)--- Yes, those are cool looking attachment bars for the off-road lights, especially since they were a factory OEM opton for the JDM version. Too bad they weren't available on the USA model. Here in the USA, I guess we just have to settle for ToneMonday's front Safari Bar bumper if we want some sort of off-road light attachment point.

Now that's what the VX should look like!
Peace.
