I've had more comments in the month since I put on the fat Nitto 404s, than in the last three years combined. Filling the wheel wells really changed the character...instead of looking like it's running around on its tippy-toes, it now looks planted...a Bulldog stance. Most have been Jeep guys, one was a kid in an old Rodeo...he actually did a U-turn and followed me to the shop, to see what it is. Just proves, sometimes it's the little things that change everything
Then that's explains why I get it constantly. I've had big Nitto Terra Grapplers on mine for three years now. I can see Jeep guys trying not to look because they know I'll see the jealousy in their eyes!

Canadian VXer!
thought i would share this funny little bit..
driving home from work yesterday, just cruising at a normal speed and this blue minivan comes up on my rear quarter and hangs there for a bit, i was getting annoyed by it so i took off +15-20mph and left them behind.. few miles down the road hit a traffic light, blue van pulls up next to me, guy motions to roll down the window, so i do, he says "hey man what is that thing? its cool!" I tell him Isuzu VehiCROSS.. his wife in the passenger seat smacks his arm and screams.. "see i TOLD you it was an ISUZU!" then starts telling me how he was like "no no it cant be an isuzu" but that she knew it was an Isuzu even though there was no badging...... then the normal "is that a new model?", "no its just limited production" conversation.. funny stuff though![]()
I stiil get people asking me things like:
o What is it?
o Is it a Hybrid?
o Where can I get one?
o Isn't that the new 2008 __________?
More so in the spring, but it never really stops. The VX is that unique![]()
NAVIGATOR
I would say I never go more than three days without someone asking me something about it..............
I get the "Is that a 2009" question alot.
Most unique: "Man that thing looks like it made for scube-diving or going completely underwater - does it?"
Another good one: "Wow I have a lot of respect for guys like you. I cant belive how you can bike and swim all those miles in one day" - Referring to the IronMan decals.
Got a good one for ya. I got home around 9pm last night from work, and my neighbor came walking across the lawn with another older guy. I was driving the Rex with the VX in the garage. I was getting my backpack out of my car when my neighbor said "Hey Gary, I want you to meet my dad." So we have some small talk for about 2 minutes, mostly about how his dad is in town for a few days staying with him. Eventually, my neighbor says "I was telling my dad about your truck. You mind showing it to him? Words can't explain it."
So I open the garage door and back the truck out. His dad's first words were "Oh ya, the VehiCROSS. These things are wild. I have a neighbor down in Georgia that has a tricked out one but it looks nowhere as cool as yours. I guess keeping it in a garage helps."
More blah blah blah car talk and 800 loops around the VX before I had to call it a night so I could actually get some dinner before I passed out on the couch, heh.
Never gets old.

WG,
That's even better than the Power Walker in my neighborhood that finally stopped by the other day & asked if it was some kind of kit & wanted to know what frame I started with.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
I love power walkers. There is this middle-aged lady in my new neighborhood I see jammin down the sidewalk every other day. I don't care if it is good exercise, it just looks so damn rediculous, I bust up everytime I see her! But hey, good for her for getting out and moving!
