Dumb Dome Light

[Gussie2000]

I just got the rest of the audio gear hooked up and was offered over twice what I paid for it by a random shop customer when it rolled out of the shop bay. Yes, it rolls that well. I learned all my panels have been already dynamatted, and also recently leared that a local shop had installed a 3in lift kit. All this time I just thought it had big tires!! lol.

I also committed to getting the front end work done and the rear diff leak taken care of for about a grand.

The Dome light thing fixed itself as I re-seated the all the fuses, as a PC tech I know that kinda **** happens just reseating the hardware. Also my electric door locks now work and the passenger side electric window now at least TRIES to work, I can hear the motor trying anyways. (prolly need the standard metal retrofits for that window to work)

At the Audio shop I had my second sub installed and 4 JBL component front and rear sets. It sounds nothing less than incredible.

Rear seats still need thier locking mechanisms, I'll post pics someday. Thats kinda high on my short list after the suspension stuff. Since after the small subs and amp, the seats fold down just fine and can I bunjie the seats up against the front seats if I need to haul more computer gear.

Nobody but ppl on this forum have ever called my VX a POS. I love it, and it keeps getting better. Most ppl I meet are gape mouthed and have nothing but intrest in it. So... continue with the negativity if you want, its all working out just fine so far.

Thanks for your help. lol

Grif,

Personally I'm glad you got the VX and are now giving it the TLC that it deserves.

If anyone continues to give you grief, just turn it around into a big joke. If you ever get bored, search on 'offset from hell'. You'll see what I mean.

One caution tho. Many members with a 3" lift have experienced CV boot failures. Keep a close eye on them. DO NOT let them run dry. If you ever get to the point of a permanent fix, lemme know. I can help hook you up with diff drop brackets.

Really? It is going into the shop for that very reason. (amoung others) What is your permanent fix? Mebbe I can get the brackets before the shop orders thier parts.

Grif,

Sounds like you have that piece of junk up and running pretty darn well.

Most of the questionable VX's out there are real sturdy and just need a little TLC to get them back into primo shape.

Good job and post some pic's of that bad boy soooooon.

Grif,

Here's a thread on the subject:

I probably won't be able to help you out for a while. I've only got 2 sets & I'm waiting on both to be returned for modification.

There's contact info for Darlington in the thread. He can prolly help you out quicker than anyone.

The only difference between what Darlington sells & I have is that Darlington does a 1.5 inch drop & I have a 2 inch drop.

Don't forget to visit the How2 section to read up on the install procedures. You may want to print a copy for the shop if you're paying someone else to do the work. I'll PM you my cell number in case you need to discuss.

BTW, the above thread also lists Tone as a source for the diff drop brackets. He passed away a few months ago so is not an available source.
