I love snowboarding, which is why I searched for an AWD or 4WD vehicle. I love the funkyness of the VX most of all, it doesnt look like anything that anyone else is driving.

Welcome to the madness...

Did you pick up the Dragon Green Mica that McGavok had listed?

Yep, that exact one. I was looking at a Jeep Liberty they had, but it had 174k miles on it and that was just too much.

Hello VXers. I recently re-discovered the VX and it has peaked my curiosity. I really like the lines of the vehicle and want to try one on to see how I fit. I'm 6'9" at about 300lbs. According to the specs it looks like I'll fit but you never know till you sit in it. If anyone in the Durham/Chapel Hill area of NC would like to show off their VX, I'd like to see it. I like unique vehicles and the VX certainly fits the bill. You don't see many on the road. I'll be lurking here and learning all the nuances of the VX.

Hi dave !
Go to the member's list & search the NC state members to see if any is near by.

You should find more that two over there.

Dave !

There's Captain V from greensboro,ckevg1 from asheville & DC700 from havelock all in NC.

You can send them a e-mail & personal message to figured out something .

Good luck !

As you say,VX as all cars has its here & there stuff,but overall it's certainly a great little bad>>> toy to play with.

And welcome aboard ! :thumbup:

Thanks. Greensboro isn't that far away. I'm keeping my eye's open for a VX to come up for sale not too far from me. (Ha!) Or catch one while I'm traveling. I'm leaning toward a silver one to match the other vehicles in my stable but that Proton Yellow sure is catching my eye.

Sure you do.

We all like to "hook up" new members to the madness :p

If any Vx comes up for sale & you can't test drive it and/or inspected right away any fellow member will happily do it & foward the findings to you and tell if the Vx fits the bill. :yesgray:

I certainly love the SRT10 you got there,also the cherokee SRT8 is one of my favorites.

The "10" is one of those unique vehicles I was talking about liking so I had to have one. The Jeep is a Commander with the Hemi. I would have liked to have the SRT8 Grand Cherokee but I couldn't fit because my shoulder was against the "B" pillar so I had to go with something a little boxier. Actually my wife stole the Jeep from me so I'm looking for a little run around vehicle to keep the miles down on the "10" and something to tinker with that is also unique.

The VX looks it would fit the bill if I can fit into it. I'm not opposed to modifying the seat tracks to accomplish this.

I feel ya !
The other day i went to an near by mall & saw one of those "10" in the red color with white stripes & lifted,very nice for sure.

In regards of the commander don't know,but to me is one of less atractive suv's out there along with the compass,the liberty/nitro and the horrible patriot.
Hope chrysler improve those designs.........

A lifted "10"????? That would be sacrilege. They were only available RWD and the only way to go is lowered by a couple inches. They sat a little high in the rear so a nice leveling kit is all it really needs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram_SRT-10

I agree, the Commander is not their best looking SUV. But when that's all you can fit in you can't be picky. I think it has a bit of a Hummer-ish look to it.

I wish Dodge would have made a full size SUV based on the Ram body. But the age of the SUV has passed (IMO). Now we have Congressional Motors and the Pelosi GTX with a whopping 92hp about to hit the market.

I could be wrong on the lifted mod the "10" i mention look like,but to me that one seemed to be,no idea.:confused:

But wait.......only RWD ?

That is what i called a sacrilege no 4x4 or AWD option at all ? :confused:

Nope, not in the SRT-10. It was built kinda like the VX was. As a specialty vehicle marketed to a select group in limited production. It's a Viper engined V-10 500hp high performance street truck. You'll need to get the Hemi or 4.7 to get 4x4 and go off road.

He don't need no 4X4 when he has 4X5. 500 horsepower, 525 ft. lbs. of torque, 505 cubic inches, and a 500 watt sound system. I always wanted that monster. I had four Dodge trucks starting in '80 before my VX. I traded a gorgeous flame red '97 4X4 Ram to get my VX. I really miss riding up that high. There is no other vehicle on the planet that can give me that king-of-the-road feeling like a Dodge Ram. Word. :yesy:

I've had good luck with my Dodges. '94 4x4 (318), '97 SST (360). The SST was a reg. - cab short bed with stickers. Nothing really potent about it unlike the SRT-10 (potent to the max). I really hope I can fit into the VX so I can give one a try for awhile. Really like the looks and concept behind it.

That's cool. Mine was a '97 SLT 4X4 reg cab short bed, 5.2/318. An incredible vehicle!

A Dodge Ram rules!!!!

Tone Monday (R.I.P.) also had a Dodge Ram before his VX.

hi my nane is joe (42 years Old)
i am from chicago
and i cant seem to get the VX out of my mind lately (obsessed)
a friend had a 2000 proton yellow new & i loved it

As well as almost every one in here.

Reliability you said ?

There's a few members in Chicagoland. You can look thru the members list by going to "quicklinks", and then "memberlist"
I know NocturnalVX and IAMIRONwoMAN are current VX owners in Chicago.

Hope ya find a sweet one to buy! There's usually one or two on ebay, and check the for sale section here too.

Good luck!

Joe, I found that posting a VehiCross wanted ad on criegslist worked really well, had several people call over a months time who would consider selling ended up finding a unused 99 in a garage with low miles, also got one off e-bay that was more difficult

Joe, I think you will find most on this board use their VX as a DD. I have 130,000 miles on mine. It is my DD and gets used hard off road. I have had no major issues with it. Do a search on this site for known problems and that sould tell you what to look out for to help in your search for that right VX.
Welcome to our obsession and good luck in your search.

thanks for the welcome!
glad to hear most are daily drivers
the hunt is on
i seen one by my house every now and then
with 640000 miles for $7000.00
i shows up then disapears for a month or two (it been around since sept)
its black and looked pretty clean i think it was a 2001

Hi. Thanks for maintaining such a helpful website. I'm a new owner of an ebony 2000 model with low miles. My daughter will be driving it up in the mountains at Boone during the winter while at graduate school. She didn't like it at first, but now I can't keep her out of it. So much for maintaining the low miles. I just finished installing a rear view camera which helps greatly. Looking foreward to camping and surf fishing with it in the near future. Again thanks for the informative website. Hal Deans

Great to have ya Hal, I hope you get to drive the VX too...lol....A lot of people down here talk about going to Boone....they love it.

So far I've changed the oil, checked the trans fluid (seems recent and full), all-season floor mats, and a few light bulbs that were out. Next up is keyless entry and a remote starter.

I need to get under the car but snow sucks.

I need to get under the car as I have a CV boot that is split and I need to find what sounds like an exhaust leak.

---

Welcome,

For the exhaust leak, have a good check around the flexipipe possible chance that it has rusted out on a part of it and caused a leak.

& check with Independent 4x4 for the MechaTech CV boots.

You can find the install instructions in the DownLoad section on the home page for the forum.

Hey All,
My name is Q. Originally I had noticed the VX on the internet during my highschool years. About a year ago(now 22yrs old) I had need of a vehicle with 4wheel/AWD and did some further research on the VX but mom wanted a new suby so I got passed her old one (99 brighton). Three days before it's regularly timed oil change the engine locked up (due to lack of oil and some negligence on my part. I have heard that as subys age they start to burn oil). I already knew my options and was looking around locally (shipping to Juneau, Alaska can cost as much as 2K because they can only be barged in from seattle). As luck would have it, a VX had been driven to seattle from utah and then barged up, and was now for sale, not more than 3 miles from my house 76K and checked out on the used veh inspection. I purchased it w/2 sets of aftermarket wheels and tires (will post them on the wheel tire thread later). I LOVE THE VX!!! I have a laundry list of things I would like to do w/the vehicle...just wish I had a empty garage in which to do them..It was 12 degrees this morning when I left for work..

P.S. Thanks to all who contribute to this forum, it is a wealth of information.

Great !

Welcome aboad Q. :yesgray:

Hi! I'm Jesse, I am currently residing in Flagstaff, az, but found a vehicross for sale down in Phoenix and jumped on the chance to get it. I have only had it for a little while but i love it! It is just so unlike any car around. The forums here have already helped me a bunch with my Vehicross, so thanks for that guys and gals!

FWIW, the engine in the VX has a tendancy to use oil too...:yesgray:

Check your oil every time you fill with petrol & you should enjoy many miles together.

Welcome to VX world...:thumbup:

currently living in WA, home is acctualy in Ohio country of origin England.
Just bought the Vehicross this week and am still waiting delivery(some time next week). reason for buying are as follows. always loved the design. it was so far advanced of anything else in deisign when first introduced. my other vehicle sucks as a daily driver.
fist saw and drove a Vehicross in 1995 while working at Isuzu as a guest design engineer working on fuel systems in Japan. loved it then and always wanted one.
looking at some of the postes that others have placed this looks like a great place to learn everything about these vehicles.

Welcome aboard to you and all latest new members.

The VX family keeps growing.......

Hello,
Literally just got my VX off the delivery truck 30 minutes ago. I am in NY.
I am a member of other forums and I know you can't own a vehicle like this without good forum people. I am really really happy I found this site.
Just got a 2001 Black VX. Lst owner had it only short period of time, before that it came from Georgia and was with a supposed VX person. Anyone know my vehicle?
Got lots of questions but I want to look through site before I ask ones that have already been answered.

Welcome fellow VX'r. Don't know the vehicle but one of our members might. Be sure and use the search function and a lot of your questions will be answered....if ya can't find it, feel free to jump-in. I think you'll find our group to be most friendly and accommodating. Some are a little dingy but you'll find that out on your own.lol

My dad remembered when the Vehicross first was introduced and he thought they were really cool. He saw the one for sale at the Chrysler dealer in Bonham Texas, a pile of dung, and called about it as he drove by. We got on line and found the one with the funky orange LineX coated panels and went to see it - what a cool vehicle! I have been saving up for about three years for my first car and we purchased the Vehicross last night from Woody, one of the nicest guys in the world. He took awesome care of it - the entire care looks almost new. I don't mind the orange color, but am still probably going to get it re LineXed in black.
