I took the step bars off yesterday and got the Aisin's on today (I live off a dirt road, it's real easy to kick the *** end around now!!!) and received my OME 912's and have my 285/75-16 MT's awaiting there new rims! The rims should be here in a few days, I'll get some updated pics with the lift/rims/tires on by next week hopefully! After driving a 60 mile round trip today, the gas gauge seems to be moving slower with the front hubs disconnected! Hopefully it's not just me, but either way, on the trip from Orlando to Panama City, I averaged about 19 mpg without the hubs, not too bad I don't think. She burns a little oil but I expected that at 133K miles. I love my VX! Just need a headliner, previous owner got her pretty dirty up there, anyone make one or am I going to have to take it to an upholstery shop?

Dirty headliner, eh??? Now would be a great opportunity to put in an "Electric Moon-Roof", because they will have to modify the headliner anyway during the roof installation. You get a nice Electric Moon-Roof and get rid of your dirty headliner at the same time. Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!:bgwb:

Nice mirror covers by the way - did the previous owner tell you where he got them?

It already has an electric sunroof RiffRaff! It's not super dirty, I'm gonna try using my steam cleaner on it but if it doesn't come clean I think I might redo it in black instead of the grey cloth. Ya the mirrors had been painted, they aren't covers. I like the Borbets alot now that I have the truck in person, but I got a steal on the new wheels/tires and I think the snowflakes will look good on an Astral too.
