Yeah.....I don't think my newly purchased stock VX would like hanging out with your VX
:rollo2:
2B, I think that you would be surprised at what a bone stock VX is capable of.
s47, nice vids. Way to get out and enjoy your VX.:thumbup:
Some of that was just too painful to watch. ;eeky;Quote:

A few friendly observations...
1. Rock sliders are your friend :)
2. Applying a little ebrake will help lock up your rear limited slip when a little extra traction is needed.
3. Save yourself a little grief on the trail...get a tree strap to use with your winch.
Here's some my buddy took. It's mostly jeeps, but there's a good one of the VX getting though a mudhole with some good shots of the flex.

Rock sliders are planned, and the e-brake trick was being used with little effect :yesb:
Need lockers and a tree strap for sure
The ebrake thing works well. It's no locker, but helps a lot. You may have to play with it a bit to find the sweet spot. If your ebrake is tight it only takes a few clicks, if it is like mine I have to pull mine nearly all the way up.

My E-brake is more for show than anything ATM, I had to use it as my brakes a while back when my rear caliper desided to throw the pad and use the piston for stopping power, never did replace the shoes. I know ill get flamed for it but the rest of the brake system is new.Quote:

Away from the other side....... that sounds like blasphemy, the VX is too good off road to let it go to waste on pavement. lol.Quote:

Bah, it's a much better urban mall crawler, curb hopper than an Escalade or H2 ANYDAY! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. ;)Quote:
