Check out my new Tuxedo

Pics of my new wheel/tire combo:











16'' American Racing teflon coated Chambers + 265/70/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S



I know the picture quality could be better but I just finished a quick wash and wanted to snap some pics before it got darker.
Yes I had to trim some cladding in the front only, but since It was a rush job and I need to clean it up a bit later, I won't show you the mess I made, yet.


On a side 'mod' note...I also was able to recently score a:

used Morgan-Tec muffler from a local fellow VX owner and had it installed the same day.

Since it and my exhaust tip were looking a bit discolored, I had the shop paint it a flat black to subdue it a bit:


It's really unfortunate that M-T no longer has the capacity to produce/provide VX mufflers.....they are (were) a top-notch addition for anyone looking for an exhaust upgrade.

Looks good and so does ur cladding,have u thought about painting ur cladding bolts white? it might look cool too i think,i want to paint my cladding and do something to make the bolts stand out a bit more.

[ZEUS]

Looks TOUGH man!

[don moore]

loooookin good......

[Ldub]

Looks great...maybe we'll be seeing you in Moab ?

[WyrreJ]

I think it would look cool if you painted the black plastic that is inside the headlight casing white too.

I would kill to rid myself of these stock Chrome rims..Thwey are my second set in great shape but hat cleaning. Like the Teflons...How durable are these in salt etc.

THANKS everyone,



* Willy - I don't think I'll paint the bolts. I almost had the tires put on the other way with the white lettering showing, but a couple people talked me out of it...
advised me how it will be hard to keep clean and/or fade.

* Ldub - I plan on it next year

* WyrreJ - At this point I don't think I would do that, but you never know. I am thinking about the grill though and am wondering if I should have grabbed a
skid plate while they were available.

* VXNIT - I JUST got them on, and I live in SoCal...sorry, but I don't think I'll have too much experience with salt.

jc whitney sells many different ones and they come with 3m sticky stuff so all u do is line it up where u want it and stick it there.

Like I always say, the Teflon Chambers are made for the VX! Looks awesome! You should black out your side markers now!!

BTW, did you debadge your center caps too? It looks like you removed the AR sticker from them at least.

It will be that or clear. I'll try both but stick with what looks better. Which will probably be black. Ironic, now that the clear marker project is nearing completion.

Bingo.
Was worried about it looking plain, but there's a nice little surprise under there for people that pop them off.

I blacked mine out and will never go back. Also blacked the rear red lenses.


Nice VX. Im in the market for some black rims. I love the chambers and consideirng our cross continent distance I still feel like I should not join the band wagon and get them. Maybe Ill try the traxx 8 in black im going for a an 18'' this time though.
