wow!
very impressive...
finally, someone else around here for me to chit chat with about car audio tech!
beautiful idea!
Awesome ! cant wait to see end results.
you can see the day by day at fiberglassforums.com
Very cool ! !
At first I was confused, I was thinkin "Why the hell would you put that in your car?!" But then I saw it was for show, so that makes more sense, not a whole lot of offroading goin on, plus the extra 500lbs in weight in the back must be horrible for gas mileage:) I dig the 8"? molds for the front.
Was it Rickster who turned his entire VX into an isobaric speaker box, haha? The entire rear, front seats back, was nothing but wire, coils, insulation, and db to boot. Wasn't his VX purchased and sent overseas?
Hexibase also was a rolling VX speaker box! Here is a cool video of it.:bgwo:
here are some recent pics

Beautiful!
All I have to say is WOW!!
and
Where do you store your recovery gear? How about your CB mount? LOL
Looks like you have the rear fill covered :p Whats going up front to balance that out? Seriously sick setup maman.
Nice job matching the VX interior "red"!:cool:
Thats what i was thinking :bgwg: haha.Quote:

cracked me up the other day i was reading through it and i see a thread titled
aztec on steroids with bass-
all the autotechs nation wide were talkin about your build
however, there are so many guys on there that by the time i got on and saw what was going on there was so much VX bashing that i could barely deal with it...
one of em asked wth is a vehicross??
and another said, 'people actually bought those things? i thought they were just made for show'
oh, and i got a 'i bet that thing has a horrible center of balance and turning radius'
so i politely chimed in with-
some pics of me wheelin (kindly taken by jo last year on metal masher)
and gave them some facts including the wins at paris DAKAR 3 years in a row in its class ;)
shut em up pretty quick about how much there is no way it could wheel
How do you see out the back window LOL :smilewink that looks amazing

I remember him turning the volume control to somewhere around 5 or 6 and watching the front window bow outward. Amazing ride.
There are still some of the truck's history (& nice bikini shots) in the "Show Pictures" at this site- scroll down to watch the VX transformations over the years

And I do believe it ended up in Russia
isnt that the one that petos bought??
i remember when i was looking at it in moab the whole back part (behind the seats) was rhino-lined....and now i know why ;)
I think so.....Quote:

Nice work! I'm a big fan of lots of small subs, or just one REALLY big one (>18"), but nothing in between...
i just lifted the vx a because of the weight of the box. but now my 22's tires look small
was thinking of getting these

do you think the 35's will fit or is max only 33
all i did was install the 912's and cranked the hell out of the torsion bar.
I was planning on putting 35's on as soon as I need a new set of tires. Yes you can fit the 35's on there, there are a few things you will need to do to get them to fit:Quote:

Not necessary but highly recommended:
-Diff drop brackets to help your poor CV's out
-Higher gears 4.78 or 5.38 in the diffs
Oh and someone already has those rims and tires on their VX, name is: jwatk1ns

I would think a couple inches of body lift might help fit 35's also...:_confusedQuote:

Yeah very true and probably necessary for 36"+ tires but I think we might be able to get away with 35's and no body lift. I will tell you for sure as soon as my current 33's need replacing ;)Quote:

Have to say that looks damn good!
How big is your lift? What size are your rims and tires?
Either way stance is nice !
It has a 3inch lift with the OME Springs. 22inch wheels with 305/45/22 tires
