    Nice! Looks like you put a lot of love into that truck, Did you sell it?
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Nice VX! You need to hunt down Jeremy Clarkson and show him what a real performance SUV looks like.

    Very nice look in all-silver! Welcome to your new home-away-from-home!

    There was a factory roof rack for the VX to which you can attach off-road lights, but they are no longer available in the US. Call around to some Isuzu dealers and see if anyone can find one for you. If not, start watching eBay for one and be ready to pay too much.

    Rhino bars and rock sliders are available from some fabricators. Please search the site forums and you will find just about every bit of information you are looking for. Good luck!

    What is the purpose of that small red tailight at the bottom of the rear bumper?

    It’s a British law you need to have one to be legal. I think it’s a fog light?

    Nope...

    Broke a tie rod up in the hills... (remote, no one around) Locked it up, was gone for 4 hours. 12:00AM - 4:00AM (ish) and when I got back my truck was destroyed.

    Every window broken, every tire slashed, mirrors broken, Rock through the sunroof and busted up dash. Shot gun blasts all around.

    But they were nice enough to leave me a message on the tailgate "Chevy's suck"

    And that was the end.

    -----

    Thanks for the tips on the window, my new brackets shipped today so hopefully this weekend (probably first of next week) I'll be doing the repair/maintenance/modifications.

    Then I'll probably hit up the local trailer fab shop about building me a Tone style hitch.

    Sorry man, that must of really hit you hard. Its good that you’ve put that behind you and now you have a new truck to love. But when its all said and done, there'er just vehicles.

    That would be cool if the Stig took your VX around the track. You would probably be put up against the Porsche Cayenne.

    LOL...and Choppers.

    And let us not forget all the rest of my extended VX family, we had better include them too...

    Bowties, Blu Ovals, & Rams might be "just hunks of metal & rubber & stuff, but VX's have a soul I'm pretty sure.
