Meet-n-wrench in Baltimore, MD

Really great meeting you guys down in MD yesterday. Seeing all the VX's there, each with its own flavor, really drives home how versatile and capable our rigs really are. I learned a few things too, so I wanted to say thanks also.

As for the shop doing the engine swap, wow - they're the real deal right there. Those were some really nice guys, generous with their time, knowledge - and the use of their parking lot and even a tool or two. They promised that pictures and video would be forthcoming once the installation is complete.

...but I wouldn't mind getting together again there to see it in person, especially if we do another meet like yesterday.

Got a message on my machine yesterday from Tom, thanking me for the "big wet one" Vendetta planted on him...:laughing:

You're welcome twin Bro of diff'n Mo...:heart:

And that Vendetta guy?...TOTALLY a stand up man of his word...:thumbup:

I was a little worried about him transporting man smooches across state lines, but he came through with fly'n colors...:thumbup:

Too Funny...:laughing:..:heart:...:laughing:

Both youse guyz is aces wit da dub.

"There it is"
The dirty laundry is aired.

It's a good thing that we didn't post in public what Vendetta was calling our beef jerky competition!!!

Sorry, I was too busy wrenchin & forgot I even brought the camera till later in the day. Those pix's are all we got (unless someone took some with their phone).

Woulda been sweet to get some better pix of subject47's homegrown beater VX with the Marlen-stein flavored front bumper & snorkle.

Most of the wrenchin wasn't a photo-op. Nerf bars installed, Seat Sliders installed, fixed 3 windows, HID headlights installed, & rear shocks installed.

BTW, the beef jerky contest was a draw. Vendetta makes some mean exotic flavors (spicey, Jamacan (sweet with a delayed subtle burn), Teriyaki) whilst I tend more towards the traditional smokes. There wasn't much left by the end of the day ... just enough for the return trip(s).

The Tech was fantastic. His attention to detail is unbelievable. The end product will be well worth the investment but keep in mind that this will probably end up being a $50K rig when all is complete.

Glad you guys could make it, and it was a real pleasure to meet you guys. Your all always welcome to the shop anytime. And yes, as long as there is progress worth photographing, I will be sure to post it up online. And thanks for providing some more ideas and information for us to use as well on this and future vehicles.

I came so close to making it down....would have been great to meet everyone and check out the other VX's.

Let's hope everyone decides to have another one here shortly!
Seems like a good location for everyone.

I can take some pics of the bumper and the home made snorkle. As far as the snorkle goes it does fit the homegrown theme for sure.

My son was talking 'bout your snorkle last night. He wants to put one on his Samurai.
