    Ok, I'm in. It was the picture of Ldub's that did it.... I'm lifting it. I'd prefer to do the entire package at one time. Then, I guess I gotta find some rocks

    Chopper, you've gotta big shop, I am sure... and tools, a welder... all the good stuff. And you talked about swapping out suspensions the other day... I nominate you to be the guy to swap a solid axle into the VX!

    Why not? It's pretty much a hanger queen now. Plus it makes more sense to build in this direction... more in the nature of the vehicle, and probably alot easier than making a sports car. My only hesitation is the fact that I am a long, long way from any thing that looks like a rock. What do I do with this contraption after I build it?? Here they do "swamp buggies" and sandrails for offroading. Not least, I grew up in a family of English sports cars(with an occasional Citroen or Opel around) My entire backround is, sporting cars, road racing, and some rally... I'm entirely ignorant in this area. This is also alot of the appeal. Wayne

    Rocky Roads prices look really good. Looks like they plan on adding a bit more in the future. I know after looking all over the net for the OME springs RR had the best price and got my business.
    Thats is one sweet looking ebony flexing on the V notch!!! Of course I am a bit biased!

    There's nothing around here that even resembles a bump in the ground, all my wheelin' is done 4-5 hrs. away at the very least...it's a good excuse to get outta town.

    Alright, here is another shot of the diff guard:



    The tubes are solid metal and the flange is 1/4" thick!

    Here are some shots of the mounting for the sliders:



    I threw that last one in for the heck of it. I'm not sure how secure you could get a highlift under these but I believe they would take the pressure. Now go buy them so I can get more free parts!
