    Awesome idea for a thread!!


    Took one visit to moab to realize what I needed to do... Bought my VX in Mid April 2008, went to Moab in May, bought the parts shortly after, and finished up in Early June.



    Not as pretty now as it was in the first "After" pics... Now the wheels have seen some "Use"

    Gregg,

    It must be the featherduster that keeps it so purdy.

    That, and removing the trees from the passenger side (less tree sap? )

    and taylorRichie - WOW! Nice mods! Your VX looks particularly badass with that wheel/tire combo.
