Actually Wifey makes it look good - I bought it for her.
Hoppin out of a VX with a beautiful wife on your arm ... life don't get much better'n that.

Yeah I definitely am not there yet maybe one day. Just trying to be patient and wait for that special someone or no one at all right now. But my two dogs and mbu puffer make it not so lonely around the empty house when roommates aren't around.Originally Posted by tom4bren

First set of diff brackets dropped off at welder. I'll keep you posted. I gave him a set of pix from Zeus & from BigmeatVX & told him he gets 'artistic freedom' to do the mod as he thinks best. Sorry Zeus - he didn't like your approach - this is a direct quote: "I ain't messing with that #@%ing radius".

"Well crap. I want a set but I plan all my major modding to happen after I pay off the bumble-v... How much?"
Shouldn't be a problem. Welder ain't going anywhere & neither am I.
I don't know how much yet - he said he'd price it after he does the first. I think he is going to fab about 10 of the insert pieces first (5 sets) then cut & weld my first sample. I don't expect to hear from him for at least a week.

Just so you guys know Joe Darlington is still making the drop diff brackets.
Just send me a pm if you want a set made. In the mean time I'll get some contact info and post it here.

would it be possible to install these brackets on a stock vx? would there be any negative side effects?
I ask because I'd like to have them for when I do my lift but I probably wont do a lift for a while....

One thing to keep in mind when doing this, for every inch you drop, you also lose the same amount of ground clearance under the front diff.
Super VXer
You probably would want to just keep the brackets around until you do the lift. It's a TON of work to not do everything at once. And if you ever had the intention of putting in a front locker, or re-gearing etc. It'd be a good time to do that too.
I plan on ordering a set, not sure when I'll get around to it though, probably next year. I'd love to install a front ARB at the same time, but I think it's above my mechanical expertise. Any one want to help with that part
