Billy,
That's a lot of damage. I hope they can work a miracle for you. I'd hate to see you miss ZuZu again.
Peace.

Just get a rental, drive out to Moab, and ride shotgun with all of us!!! You could play musical VX's when we come up to obstacles and ride in more VX's in one week than you ever thought possible!!! What do ya say???

Won't be making the trip without the VX...don't think I could stay sane not driving.
The good news that will come from this is the next accident will be much better protected. The money saved will go towards some new armor in the form of front and rear rock bumpers and rock sliders. I will be contacting the guys at Stric9 and seeing what we can come up with. I will make sure that they make templates of the bumpers in case anyone else is interested (be aware they will require a LOT of front cladding trimming).

Just heard about your misfortune...That Sucks! Hope they are wrong and you get your wheels back in time for Moab.
Was looking forward to seeing you pulverize the rocks ahead of me so I could tread lightly & count on your spotting skills!

[Triathlete]

Thanks Jolly. I think this year is pretty much thrown in the bag. Fortunately there are a few others who have some great spotting skills that will be there!
Zeus, this trimming will not even include the wheel wells. I am thinking there will be no cladding below the turn signal lights!
Is it to early for me to start looking forward to next year?

Dang! Sorry to hear that you will be sitting this one out, but I am glad your spirit & attitude are still positive. I can't wait to see what your VX ends up looking like! See you next year (at the latest).

Seriously though you could drive mine up and back and I will meet you there. But as of now looks like i probably can't go.

Well, the VX was suppose to be done today....BUT, the found an "airback code" had tripped so they neded to diagnose and reset that and then "clean it up". So, I get it back tomorow morning at 0800! FINALLY!

[kodiak]

Good to hear!
