    how many Ironman edition VX's was made?

    Need Help with my 2000 Ironman identity. The Ironman was available only on the Victory White color and Isuzu build only 96 of them in 2000 but only few was Ironman edition VX's. Is any one knows how many of the editions was build in 2000?

    im pretty sure that all victory white VXs are ironmans... many owners have chosen to remove the ironman badges.. but from the factory i believe the only way to get a white vx is to get the ironman (or the elusive pearl white... but thats a different story)

    Yeah, its pretty easy to remove the outside badges. Its the stitched "Ironman" logo that is in the front seats that give it away.

    Talking

    For the record:

    1) All Ironman VXs are white
    2) All White VXs are Ironman
    3) A white VX is an Ironman Edition, and an Ironman Edition VX is white.

    No white VXs are non-Ironman. No Ironman Editions are non-white. If it says "Ironman", it's white, and if it's white, it may or may not say Ironman on the outside, but it definitely should say Ironman on the seat, unless the seats were changed out at some point...but it's still technically an Ironman.

    To sum up: Ironman = white, and white = Ironman.

    Please let me know if you have any questions. But if the questions are about the color of the Ironman Edition, I'll tell you upfront: it's white.

    PS: And if it's white, it's the Ironman Edition. In case I wasn't clear before.

    What if it's white, without Ironman badges, but has Ironman floormats??
    Is that an Ironman VX?

    Dang...I should've been more clear!

    All Ironman VXs BEGAN life Victory White.

    They may have been sprayed later...

    And even the debadged ironman VXs with Ironman floormats should also have the Ironman seats.

    Actually some Ironman editions don't have the stitched seats - guess they ran out at the factory or something. I've seen many variations but I believe the intent was for all White VXes sold in the US to be Ironman editions. Another exception are those in white sold in Japan - there is a slight difference in the white used if I'm not mistaken (not called Victory White and with a different stock number so it probably has a different paint formula).

    Strangely enough, my 1999 Astral Silver VX shows up as "Isuzu Vehicross/Ironman" on my insurance card.

    What say you to that, PHO2GR4?!

    Well, if the Ironman edition had a higher SRP, then your insurance agent was probably using that value to set your insurance rate at the max for any variation on the Vehicross type vehicle.

    Just means your insurance company was covering all of their legal bases, as usual. Or that they didn't know the difference...

    ...like WE all do, right? I mean, regarding Ironman = white, and white = Ironman?

    I'm pretty sure I saw victory white VX on autotrader with standard badges and without Ironman badges where they expect to be (including seats!). So, I think there are few non-Ironman white VXs around.

    Anyway, the best Ironman is Ironman repainted into Proton :-)
    2001 Isuzu VehiCROSS (build in progress): 4JX1/A340/part time, 2" body lift, front Aisin hubs, rear Aussie Locker, 4.56 gears, OEM rear sway bar disconnect, AirFlow snorkel, cabin air filter
    1980 Jeep Cherokee (assembling): 1.5" body lift, TBI, HEI
    1987 AMC Eagle: stock
