Welcome Brett, good luck on your search.
DANG: Sarasota to Fairbanks ... now there's the very definition of 'culture shock'.
Definitely going to be a different way of life....I keep checking the temperatures and wondering what Im thinking....today in sarasota we've got a nice 80 degrees, in fairbanks a balmy -5 degrees. There's a Vcross for sale here in the city, its a 99 with a 114k miles, they are asking 8500. Which I think is a bit steep and I told him to call me when he wants to come down 2k.Quote:

Good luck with your search.
Hello everyone! The name is Jesus but you may call me Jes. I don't currently own a VX but I have been interested in one for the past year. I currently own a 2000 eclipse V6 but would definitely love to find a VX.
I don't plan to buy one until next year since I am deploying soon but I thought why not get started on knowing more about the vehicle so I know what to do whenever I find one and buy.

True most likely. I just need to gather the money. Still owe a few for my eclipse

Eclipse & VX make a nice combo in the driveway.
My DD is an 03 & Wifey drives an 04 ragtop.
I got an Eclipse and the Wife has a Scion xA Release Series 2.0
I agree with Tom.
'99 Accord Coupe V6 (that's not near stock) and the VX make great companions (and the best part is there both dark Green...the best color)...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
alright I can post here since I now have mine home after all, nice trip back with it, 1350 miles in 2 days. 1999 Ironman, already getting other members parts on it, haha, tires and rims from samneil2000 nad one of the tire cover latches that were broke and he had left over from switching over to Tim's latches
Welcome to the ownership side...
Glad the trip went well and you should get use to smiling a lot (and your friends will worry about you for a while).

Welcome to the forums...:thumbup:
Hey all, I've been around this community for a while but I've been in the background. I love my VX I've had it for about 4 years now. I've improved the lighting, put on some bigger tires and pumped up the volume (stereo mod). Ifound mine in a used car lot, told my wife I found my dream truck and ...... WOW she said lets go buy it. I've been thrilled ever since. I have had some check engine issues but still not enough to make me get rid of her (The truck not my wife). I need to be more involved with the sight than I have been. Looking forward to chatting with everyone soon.
Sidenote: My truck and I are the ones on Youtube, "Vehicross fun in the snow" should get you there. The best little truck I have ever had the pleasure of being in.
Welcome Frank.
Glad you made yourself known...you already know this is a great place to hang out.
Sooo... I finally found my dream buggy after holding out for 6 years. I, too, have been doing my research on the web and ghosting here on the site for real-life owner stories. After seeing a lifted black VX in Lincoln NE in the early 2000's (anyone on here by chance? You made this dream last, by the way...), I've been wanting and seeing the dream bubble burst over and over. Alas, I finally got to live the dream. As they say in 'gone in 60 secs' "Its his unicorn, man!"
The wife wanted an SUV, I wanted a VX with a burning desire. One day I'm scouring the web and turn to the missus... "Hey, look what I found on ebay!"
Two weeks later as of 03 April, we're trading places on the way home every 60 miles so both of us get seat time in Yazu, our 'new' Kaiser VX. Ahhh, what a blast!
Anyhow, perhaps out of place here, I'm looking for options on a bull bar and cargo rack. I've done lots and lots of red eye reading here with a little head scratching to the likes of, 'is this going to be a custom job?' It looks like it had a roof rack at one time but some bloody fool took it off long ago. Also, I see most of the posts are from yeeeears ago ('04ish and back). What kind of options remain for lift kits and add-on goodies for a new owner? I was planning on doing intake and exhaust work, but luckily for me, the last fellow did it already, overly evident when I turned that key over for the first time. "Rarrrroooom!" bwah haa haa haa! :evil:

Hope you enjoy your "new" toy ! :p
I've had some good luck recently scoring some used OEM roof racks (the 2 cross members and 4 towers) for fellow VXers. If you want I can add you to my "list" and let you know if I come up with one. The going rate is roughly $350 + shipping. This thread will explain it....Quote:

Dare I suggest it, but as I've bummed around the search button for many an inquiry, are these the type of things us MacGyver types can craft with aluminum lengths and some crafty bolts and clamps? The more I looked into the baskets, I see the importance of having that dastardly rare OEM mounting system. Right now I'm prodding the Missus for approval to buy tires, so I'm banking on the rest of the maintenance parts are swappable with other Isuzu models, which sounds about right if I am to trust in ye faith of the ZuZu gods of the vehicross.info forum. I'm a research junkie and must wave my admiration flag in the wealth of information on this boat! (That's the cue for the rest of y'all to take a bow!)
Thanks for the reply!
Howdy folks - yep another one from New Zealand!
Had a Mazda Bounty 2WD, and was getting rather brassed off getting stuck where we sometimes venture (off-road racing). Since I only used 1/4 of the usable space of the wellsider, it was time to let go of the torque monster and set sights on something different.
Saw my first VX a year ago and thought hmmm, ageless.... but what the hell is it :_thinking
Found out about a month ago it's called the VehiCROSS so the research began... and 4 weeks later I'm the proud owner of the Green JDM and she's all stock standard! (hehehe - wait till I'm getting my freedom on this one...)
First day at work:
Boss: "what the f**k is that thing outside" - closely followed by another yelling "who parked Kermits Wheels in my spot"
One hour later (and the loss of "some" traction) I silenced the ultimate critics.
One week on and my partner has turned from "ugly" to "I want one too"....:bgwb:
Cheers VX-ers - - - - you've created another 2 addicts.......:yesy::yeso:
I'm an old Isuzu owner (both been driving for a while and am old myself, hitting 62 this summer), but a new Vehicross owner (but not driver yet) as of early April 2010. I've been lurking in the buyer market for a while, but not finding anything satisfactory. Then up popped up a 2001 high above the Cow Palace near San Francisco. Banged up in the front left corner, my motto has been throughout my life that "I can fix that!" Crumpled hood and fenders and unibody pushed in a bit, but otherwise reasonably all there. I'm at risk a bit with the engine, as the AC hoses got pushed against the serpentine pulley so I couldn start it, but the price was right and I have time. We will see how this turns out. So now will be lurking for parts, or in the worst case scenario, I might be advertising parts here on vehicross.info.
Welcome to the madness...in a good way...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
At least you got the best color!
Hello from sunny England, well not so sunny still quite wet but here's to hoping.
I've been a fan of the VX since I spied the concept many moons ago. Always thought of getting one, but never had the money at the right time when one came up for sale.
Made the jump with one click of the mouse button last friday, and now I'm the owner of a JDM model in "Brown".not sure of the official name for the colour, but its different...looking forward to getting stuck in and scaring the credit card.....new wheels first me thinks.
Catch up with you all.......RIP

Welcome to all new members of the great VX family !
Hope all you guys have fun with your "new" toys :p
hey i just recently bought a used Black 1999 Vehicross last october. i think its the best vehicle ive ever owned and it handles the winter weather in calgary very well.
Welcome to the fam.
It's a good place to be...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:
Hey guys, name is Dallas. I posted a thread in the VX chat because I am looking to purchase a 99' VX this week, so I might become a more fulltime member here :) I frequent the Planetisuzoo forum alot and have lurked here for awhile. I've owned a 97' Rodeo in the past that I had built up a bit (lift, rack, sliders, 33's, manual hubs, etc) and look forward to getting back into the Zu addiciton!
Hello everyone!
You know...they say there is something about "love at first sight"
So there I was, no BS no lie...I was just outside the main gate of Ft. Huachuca in Sierra Vista AZ and I see...this "thing" coming from the rear behind me, a yellow two-door thing with what I thought was the slickest spare tire mount...I said under my breath "That's a strange looking Amigo..." And that was that for at least a year...
Years later while I'm browsing the net at my usual hangout, Wikipedia, I was looking at rare production cars, starting with the GMC Typhoon...and that's when I stumbled on this "Halo" car...and when I saw the article I immediately had a flashback to that hot Arizona day and my brush with this awesomely unique vehicle that I now had a name for...
Fast forward to this last friday, me and a few buddies at work are talking "car" and we happen to bring up the VX...and it gets me to thinking..."Just out of sheer morbid curiosity, I wonder if there is any VX's for sale?"
In fact there was about a dozen on sale around the country...and as if someone special was smiling on me, there just happened to be one for sale only 15 miles from where I lived.
So like a junkie, I start trying to absorb as much as I can about this vehicle before I set out to take this very seldom chance to actually see and experience this ride. I was sold after the test drive the dealer let me go on by myself. So after the bank sends the dealer the check, I will very shortly be the proud new owner of a '99 Astral Silver VehiCROSS...
Congrats & WELCOME to the addiction...:thumbup:Quote:

Just bought an '01 Dragon.
Absolutely love it!
Always good to have new members, especially once that have a keen eye for the best color.
Be sure to check in over under the VX TALK section for all of the cool owners of the Dragons...:yesgray::yesy::yeso::yesb:
You'll find everyone here friendly and helpful, while at the same time having fun and enjoyng the thrill of owning a VX.
Hey dudes! Got an Isuzu Trooper 1998 3.2 V6 6VD1, from Liverpool UK
Good to see so many engine freaks, just gettin into it myself.
Glad to be here!
Cheers, Al
I bought a '01 Kaiser and I have a friend driving it home across country. Back to CO where off-roading starts about a block away from my house. I bought it from a dealer, who got it at the auction, and I have traced his roots to a forum member from '03-'09, Medman. Besides the remote doors from the factory, there's a few aftermarket accessories: SuperCharger, Roof Rack, Safari Rack, Brush Guard, Off-Road Lights, , Nerf Bars, Hitch, Power Moonroof & air dirverter, double din screen, DVD CD Amps Sub & False floor, Backup Camera, 3 inch lift, new Cooper Zeon LTZ 18, Pro-Comp Off-Road 16, Aftermarket Rims for each, Hood Scoop (that needs to be functional and backwards facing), Vent Visors, Momo 3 spoke Steering wheel, a couple of RAZO shift knobs I want to get rid of, Carbon Fibre Trim. Don't worry, I'll can still make it my own. It might be by taking things off rather than adding them on. I'll have to start a de-modding thread! Could use a GPS if it doesn't already have it. The mufflers is shot so I want to add a SuperTrapp. Maybe a hitch step to protect the back cladding & access roof easier. I saw a good transmission hump can holder. Some of the lights on the dash are light or non-lit, including the rear wheels on the TOD, but it feels like AWD is kicking in. So TOD would be a nice addition as well?
Wow, looks great, where did this one pop up, I don't recall hearing about it for sale?Quote:
