The plan is to raise it up 2", add 31's if they will fit, clean it up and have a blast - maybe wrap the upper metal in Proton or ??
My name is Mike - live in Fountain Valley CA and am a retired print production operator.
Welcome Mike...Lots of good information here. You should also checkout the Facebook group as most of the activity is over there now. No problem with 31" with that much lift. I'm lifted less that that with 32.5"
Hey Good People. This is my Epic Barn Find. 1 Owner 70K original miles and all original. Accident and damage free. Orig. docs and business card from dealership. Completely rust free Texas Vehicle.Attachment 2093.Attachment 2094Attachment 2095 Attachment 2096
Its been sitting for a decade. Now in good hands. Basics to be done. Original Timing belt so that's first....fluids and belts and hoses filters etc....the plugs were a bit scary and stuck. Patience and small moves with penetrating oil got them out. Speakers are dried and rattle so a modern touch screen and speakers to follow and some dynamat. AC is ice cold no leaks anywhere. Mind Blower for sure..... oh and it was free from a Shiba coin crypto pump and dump profit. Woah! hence "Crypto Buggy "
Congrats!
That is super sweet. Welcome to the madness. Be sure to checkout the Facebook group and introduce yourself there and tell your story. Not much attention to this forum anymore as most have moved over to FB. Still lots of good information here by using the search function.
Crypto Buggy, nice find welcome to the VX clan
Glad to join VX family with 1999 3.5 Vehicross)
Hi there, just picked up a 99 Vehicross 3.5L in black.
I am in Kentucky
Pretty ruff shape.
Paid $1500 and it runs and drives.
170K miles
Needs the following though:
Both rear calipers, pads and rotors
Passenger side front caliper, Front pads
Exhaust broke at the flew joint from drivers side exhaust pipe, rear muffler toast and holey & tail pipe completely missing
Tune up, did not even have an air filter in the airbox
All fluids and filters
Someone relocated the battery to behind the driver's seat
Has custom made front bumper and rock sliders though....
This is my 2nd Isuzu, I also own a 90 Trooper II with the 2.6L 4 cyl and 5 speed manual transmission
Just ordered a LOKKA for the rear end
Just bought a 2000 Proton VX with 112 K miles. I've owned a lot of old and classic cars which I fix up and (unintentionally), sell at a loss. This is my first VX although I have owned 6 Amigos and a Trooper II. I'm 76, retired Army helicopter pilot, (33 yrs), retired District Attorney, Hawaii, retired Correctional Officer California, (Charlie Manson's Wing Officer), widow, and I restore old Sanger pickle fork hydros and race R/C hydros and riggers unsuccessfully due to my age but I still keep them in the lake. I am enjoying taking this VehiCross apart to repair it. I'm curious if there is a tail pipe and muffler system guys use that runs two pipes out the back or side. Not interested in a very expensive stainless steel Ferrari setup, just want to have a nice growl so I can listen to Cds and not go road deaf. I have a frozen hood release cable and wonder if anyone knows where to get a replacement. My recaro driver's seat is pretty worn. I expect to be able to have it reupholstered. Is this a problem? Driver's door window motor and regulator looks like they're bad. Is there a Trooper II replacement? The car is in surprisingly good shape with new Maxxis 33 inch tires and the original chrome wheels and tires. The original wheels aren't great with some of the chrome coming off. They should be re-chromed I guess. I'd sell the original wheels if there's a market for them. The car came with a Badlands winch which was installed well and helps the looks of the car. I'm interested if there is a plug and play LED or bright white bulb that can be easily installed to make the headlights brighter. It has the roof rack which I guess is Yakima with LED lights. Anyway It looks like fun.Quote:

So if you are in the Dallas area let me know if you need anything.
Just rebuilt the motor at 173k miles.
Anyone interested in a Dallas-DFW meet in May? I tried creating an event but the site keeps giving me an error.
I don't use Facebook so this is it for me!
There is almost zero activity in this forum any more. You will probably get no response from anybody else.
That's sad. Thank you for the heads up!
It is sad that nobody comes here much anymore, I know you said you don't use Facebook but if you want to make a event or meet go here this is where everyone is now :( https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606Quote:

Glad you got you dream VX, sadly very few come here much anymore, go here this is where everyone is now https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606Quote:

Hi, i’m just introducing my self.. i just got a good deal on a 1999 VehiCROSS with a gazillion miles!
I always wanted this car, ever since i saw it on a magazine while waiting on a barbershop.
Not sure why i waited so long to buy one, i could have gotten it half the price 5 years ago, but today somehow 10K seems like a good deal,,, oh well.
There is a lot of work to do to it, i jist finished replacing themAxles, CV Joints, all wheel bearings, and a whole bunch of other drivetrain related parts,
Just got a new set of tires, decided to keep the original wheels, just need to get them polished.
Installed a new radio, replaced the mirror with a digital one…. Uff.. sounds exhausting already, and still have much more to do,,,,,
Thanks to all of you for all the advise you put out, it helped me tremendously while installing the radio and the camera…
I plan to keep the car for a long time so, I will stick around the forum to get ideas and advise.
I am happy for you, not much going on in the forum these days, I am guessing you have already been to the Facebook page. Glad to see you are fixing it up.
Hello everyone! I caught the vx fever last August with my first 01 white Ironman. It's still my daily driver and I've already put a ton of replacement parts and work on it. I picked up a proton yellow one a month later with less than 85,000 miles for a good price and put it back for sale hoping to replenish my bank account a little. It turned out to be difficult to get my asking price of around $10k but I came across someone who liked my yellow one and offered to trade his silver 2000 vx for mine plus cash. Now I can't figure out which vx I want to keep lmao! I just finished a 1600 mile round trip with my white Ironman and successfully towed a toyota celica race project using a tow bar 800 miles home. I love these trucks
Morning all!
Newby here to the VX scene with a 1999 VehiCROSS from Geronimo/Seguin Texas - about 35 miles East of San Antonio for the non-Texans in the group.
We purchased it to mainly use around the farm and a get-around rig for hunting trips, but now that I have it home and realize how solid it is, may start the process to make it road worthy again.
Known issues:
some criminal cut the cat out of it, in the process damaging the O2 sensor wiring
the dread 2 - 3 slip
missing the left and right window switch panels
missing the spare tire cover
someone not know what they were doing damaged the supply and return fuel lines and serious leak
Plus'"
it is solid, only a surface rust spots
other then above is completely original - guy we picked up from had the original wheels and caps
engine runs smooth, despite the fuel leak
one owner vehicle, always in Texas
it is ours now and I have the patience and know how to put it back on the road
Negative's:
somehow I did not know Isuzu had left the US passenger market years ago. Mainly a Chevrolet truck kinda person.
parts sourcing may get interesting.

Had the transmission of my 1999 rebuilt last summer. Took all summer and I hardly got to drive it at all. It got done around Thanksgiving and was driven to the garage for the winter as I was 400 miles south of it till early April. I'm now driving it daily and loving it.
Now to see what I've missed and maybe ask a question or two.

You have not missed much it has been pretty dead around here for a while, I wish more would come back and post but the Facebook page pretty much dominates things these days. We do have a good files section on the FB page so if you need info or a shop manual you can download one there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606
This is Pat in Pensacola Florida. Known as Silvercross. Had to sell my cross on 2010 engine blew. I have seen a Vehicross or 2 in my area. I was wondering if there are any members fee on the club in my area. My wife says she liked the vehicross but parts too hard to come by. I'm still trying to convince her to let me get another one. If any member is in the Pensacola area you can email me at Vehicross777@gmail.com.

Hey silvercross, It has been pretty dead around here for a while, I wish more would come back and post but the Facebook page pretty much dominates things these days. There are lots of FL people on there and we do have a good files section on the FB page so if you need info or a shop manual or other info you can download it there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606
Not sure on the inability to get parts. I had a part break on me a couple weeks ago and somehow Rock Auto knew what I needed and put it on 'Clearance'. I ordered it, but I actually needed another part or two and so far my local parts store hasn't let me down. I will even get the power steering leak fixed that I've been feeding every other day for way too many years. The pump is on its way and what's holding up the completion of the job.

Have you tried call Scott Burcham (816) 683-4254 over at Isuzu Parts center? a lot of parts are still available and some are not priced very high I get lots of parts from him the website is nice to look stuff up because it has a fitment table at the bottom of each part you look up so you can see what other Isuzus that part fits if any. https://www.isuzupartscenter.com/
This is Silvercross. My engine blew in 2010. Rest of vehicle was great condition. Had to sell it. Wife doesn't want me to get another one. Tried to contact owner of silver grey on in Lillian Alabama, but his brother said he passed away and it was sold. I really miss my Cross. Is there anyone near Pensacola Florida that owns one? Please let me know at Vehicross777@gmail.com thanks
I saw a few for sale on the Facebook page, I thought one of them was silver, but cannot remember. You might even spot your over on the page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606
