Hi hi!
Just wanted to post my new VX with the new lift and tires :_steering
http://www.raceland.rocks/images/topoftheworld.jpg
3" OME lift, 15 X8 6-139.70 -19 Black Rock wheels, 33x12.50 Kumho Road Venture MT
what lift did you do ?
I got the Old Man Emu kit from Rocky Mountain. Came with the shocks and springs and we torqued the torsion bars. Trimmed the cladding but still tight and rubs on corner/bumps. Need the 3 inch body lift before I can do any real wheeling... Until then guess I can do some Mall Crawling :0PQuote:

Hey Vehi-Cross-Az - you are with svx-motorsport? I ordered some of those VX emblems and have not received them :( Sent an email last week - can you check?
Thanks!
Sent you a PM about body lift...
....not really required for aggressive wheeling.Quote:

Forgot to add the side pic to show how far the tires stick out.

Made a trip to the tire shop recently. Wasn't sure how the new 255/60-18 tire size would look, but not much difference filling the wheel well from what the 265-60-18 Geolander all-seasons accomplished. A slightly more aggressive tread pattern though.... ;)
Sorry, you'll have to sit in the back...

Nice, nice and nice!
Hey Y33 how bout some more pics?
No thanks, it's just me after all, and I already have more than enough. ;)Quote:

Have to admit I'm curious how the Grabbers will cut through the snow, especially since we got a few inches of ground cover last night and it's still not stopped, but I'm not that curious that I can't wait till I absolutely HAVE to get out and about. I have no doubt they'll do better than the all-seasons I tried to get by with last winter though.
I have the Grabbers, and in my size they have the snowflake rating, not sure if your size of the Grabbers has snowflake but mine munch thru snow with no problem. 4x4 kicks in right away though. The short wheelbase makes it quite sketchy in any icy snowy weather as it doesn't take much to throw the vx into a fishtail.
Hi guys,
Due to this site , i've got a lot of info on the VX's. I have a Trooper 3.1 TD as an everyday car, but the VX is on my dreams list since i can remember I wanted a ... VX! And finally i bought one. This JDM to be precise:
http://media.snimka.bg/s1/2519/031282583-big.jpg?r=0
Now to keep matters short and simple - 255/65/16 looked RIDICULOUSLY small on this car. So i upgraded to Grabbers At2 245/70/16 and the car still looks unbalanced. It will never be as nimble and light as some sports cars i've driven, so I just want to make it just properly MAD. And so - i have 285/75/16 BFG AT's in my garage.
My rims are 8 inches wide , with 0 ( zero ) offset.
I am limited to gain a total lift of 9 inches from the 245's to fit the car in my garage, so i'd like to ask for advise:
Rear - with the 245's i got just a slight rub. With the 285/75/16 will i manage to fit with only big time chopping the cladding and as far as i can feel - just a little bit of metal? I am with stock springs, and just got the Airlift 1000 imported ( Can someone tell me if it will lift the car when installed, and if so, by how much at best PSI for daily driving? )
Front - Trimming the front of the wheel well - how much would it be? In the rear - i didn't find information on how in general i should grind/hammer/modify. Torsion bar will be cranked a lot , since the car currently has max 1 cm from bump stops and is just unbearable to ride in , compared to the trooper 3.1 long wheelbase. (Shocks are Monroe something, but will be changed for rancho's 9000 for adjustability as i am a split personality myself).
With the above rims, will a Body lift be "a must"?
I do have an option to buy some ugly +40 7J rims, but the VX would look just not as I would like it to be. However depending on the work it will need, i may settle down for them , or any OEM Isuzu/Opel +38 offset rims, if it will be less headache.
Have went trough a lot of information , and could not find myself enough info to feel confident to play with my dream :P
I do appreciate all of you even having read trough this post. Hope to contribute with pictures to this post !
Kind Regards,
Pavel - Bulgaria
LOVE IT!Quote:

Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Owner David Lovatt, aka Monstertrucker since 14th May 2011.
Previous owner was Paul Hayashi in Luton, Hertfordshire, (presumably after the one/s who took this pic as it looked newer here than when I bought it minus the wing mirror and with worn out side decals from too much polishing. Link me to new ones please?).
Rims are Enkei Super Violence split anodised in red. Unsure of spec's but will try to update.
Tires are now Cooper Discoverer H/T but not in this photo I don't think. Spec's as above.
Stock height

Stock chrome wheels finally pealed away so this was another option - new shoes and a detail -

a little trimming for the front tire (in front and back) and it just fits - terra grappler G2 285 60 r18 tire for $163.00 ea - and chaos 18x9 both from discount tire direct on sale for $101 each rim - mounted ballanced and shipping included !
Very nice on both counts!!!
Thanks for sharing...
^ is your hood out of alignment? looks flush on the left, open on the right?
18" Worx Triad & all-season tires. Posted these a while back, but not on this thread.

I really need better pics. I also got it tinted since this, and it looks way better.

I'm selling my set of 4 of these wheels I used to have on my VX. http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...s/Photo076.jpg . The wheels are in great condition but the tires are shot.
I came across an awesome original wheel set I couldn't refuse.
Oh, got the superbumper I see. First time I've ever seen a superbumper on a vx (I've only seen the sparebumper the one w/o the hitch)
Looks sharp, like the rims!
I had that same bullbar, but mine was quite a bit closer to the front. I had the mounts from Tone, the original guy that distributed these with custom made mounts specifically for the VX.
Did you have custom mounts made?

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/500/DSCF3462.JPG
hood is a little off due to my sons accident - and the bar was never close to the bumper with my tone brackets ? don't know why - and this westin bar only lasts about 3 years then I need a new one due to rusting. I'm on my 3rd bar
That's the spare receiver add-on. And I like that I can put it UNDER the superbumper. Can't tow with it, but it will hold a bike-rack or anything up to 300 lbs or so. I don't doubt it could probably hold a 2-person bumper hammock though.Quote:
