    Talking What VX inspires you?

    We all have a very special breed of vehicle, unique to the bone. But there are a few VX’s on this forum that really inspire me – and have done so even back when I was just a ‘lurker’. With all the mods and lengths most of us go through to put those ‘personal touches’ on our VX’s to make them even more unique, it’s had me thinking for a while now… What VX’s out there inspire other VX’ers?

    So tell me, if you had to pick one VX from this family that really inspires you (besides your own) and has influenced your own VX in some way – share – who is it?

    I’ll go first:

    BaM*BaM’s VX. Not over done, not under done… just right for my taste! I love this shot!:

    Before I got my VX, I had Wormgod's Ebony as my wallpaper for 6 months.
    (Don't know how to insert his pic, or I would.)

    I always liked Rons setup from way back. Subtle styling. Maybe it's the wheels though, because I like BAM BAM's setup too. Those wheels just seem to be made for the VX. So call me a copycat, but I've also got a set of the Borbets, and am just trying to decide which tires to go with.

    Has BAM BAM ever listed what type of lift and tire size was needed to achieve that look? I think I've searched before but never turned up any specifics.

    Ron's past setup, and one that motivated my VX purchase.

    Each of them keep me inspired, I couldn’t narrow it down to one. Everyone here seems to have their own little flare and I hope my imagination(fueled by income) can help me make something unique to mine someday. I appreciate all the styles. I lean towards the lifted with larger tires side.

    My favorite

    I love them all, but Moon Buggy's down in Brisbane Australia with those 3 inch custom polished alloy bar's, front, back, and sides that he had made are just so F'ing cool, and with those 20 inch wheels, WOW! Good thing he is on a different continent, he might come out to his beloved VX and find them gone!!..

    Guess I will have to try and find a shop to make some for me from his photo's.

    Thumbs up

    I'll have to vote for Bart's "Gas Mask Express".

    When I was shopping for a successor to my '99 Ironman, I was checking out any and all VXs. I saw some tantalizing Protons, FireFox Reds and Dragon Greens.

    But when I saw Bart's photos of his ride, with those Teflon Chambers...well, that did it for me.

    I went out and bought an Ebony, and I've already ordered (with Bart's blessing!) some Teflon Chambers for myself.

    I'd also like to give a shout-out to Tone Monday, whose enthusiasm for the Vehicross really inspired me with BOTH of my VXs.

    Not to be a smartass,even though it comes so easily, but...Mine/Isuzu's. I've changed nothing you see...yet every time I look at it,something on it calls out to be enhanced...never changed,just amplified. In that, it is a piece of art. Something I'm very slow to change. Loath to take the torch to, even though it almost screams for it. Can I pick two? Bam*Bam's yes...mostly. And the one in my head. Wayne

    I love the look of a wider and agressively treaded tire. Someone has a picture with some deep dish aluminum wheels (Not spokes), just solid wheels with small holes around and the look of beed locks. Also, SPAZZ has the only one I've seen so far with the wench inside the front cladding (Great use of space!!!). I'm not sure I could do any serious chopping on mine unless I have another one first. So, minor mods for now!
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Thanks man! Then I guess you should know it was Daver's ride that made me say, "oh snap, I gotta pimp my ride like that!" I even got the same tires



    Bart

    PS - After I bought my VX, I tried for a few weeks to locate those rims he has, but it never happened. Now I have the AR Chambers, which I like even more.
