Awesome! The 33" MTs look a lot beefier than the transparent tire you have in the first picture.:p

lol I was trying out a new look. They conform REALLY well to offroad obstacles, it's like they aren't even there, like floating on air! (thought I'd get a pic of just the rims since the tire isn't mounted and shaded them when took the other pic lol)

Those are only 33"s? They look bigger - of course the screen does add 10 pounds... :P Looks tough tho!

My left rear tire is out of balance, bad! You can visually see it hobblin' up and down and at 65mph my sunvisors are shaking pretty bad. It's the only tire you can really hear "whine" going down the road. I'm going to get an alignment tomorrow morning and I'm gonna see if they can get the balancing worked out on it. Other than that, I love the new look! I heard a slight rubbing when coming down hard while turning but just sounded like the end of the splash guard so I'm gonna trim that off, but looks like my first amount of trimming worked good!

Dude you've GOT to clean your camera lens. Your VX has "The Glow". (Subtle reference to "The Last Dragon"...)

Looks great! :thumbup:

And I'd love to make it out next year! I wanted to go last year with the Rodeo but couldn't make it.

Astral Silver the best color? Isn't that the only color that was changed throughout the VX's US production? However the much improved Kaiser Grey is generally considered the best color.

lol I like the silver better than the Kaiser myself, black is my favorite though.
