Here's the latetest incarnation...






Round Aluminium Things: 20" x 8" Centerline Tomahawk Rapid - 5" backspacing, large centerbore (polished, not chrome)
Big Rubber Things: 35" x 12.50" x 20" Nitto Mud Grapplers

Another inch of lift came courtesy of some 2" coil spacers in the rear, (Thanks Boss) and another 3 1/2 turns on the T-bars in front.
A LOT of fender liner/fender flare surgery, + lots of were required to enable full lock turns under suspension compression, so if you're squeamish about cutting up your VX, stay with the smaller rubber...

I also had to shorten up my rock sliders by a couple of inches.

I have another sumpin'-sumpin' up my sleeve, that'll be seen soon...

I'll post more pics in the next day or two or three after I get her all scrubbed up & waxed....

Tease

Oh, but it gets worser...

This afternoon while absent mindedly sanding a cardboard template, I realized I might have a problem. (I mean...IT'S A TEMPLATE, not the finished product)

Hi, I'm Dub, & I'm a VX mods junkie...

Is it normal for the TOD to light up more with the bigger (mine are 18's) rims?

No that is not normal unless you did something unthinkable like drive the VX with different size tires or rims on front or back at any time. But no you will not get any TOD problems due to increase in wheels size as long as all 4 tires/wheels are identical.

[djmdma02]

What it is more specifically is that when I used to have the old 16's on, the TOD would not light up (past one bar) unless it really was pushed (rain, sand, etc...). Now with the new 18's, when I am doing a little harder than normal acceleration in first or second gear, I will get three bars of TOD for a split second. I was wondering if that was normal...

[samneil2000]

Mine does it if I accelerate hard. Doesn't bother me but probably not normal. I usually don't accelerate hard anyways.

I painted my factory 16's this weekend.

Lifted w/ OME 912's and Daystar spacers in rear, torsion bar crank and differential drop in front
Tires are Definity Dakota 285/75's (33" OD)

Paint color is Gun Metal Grey Metallic. It's a GM color according to the can. Bought it at Autozone, along with adhesion promoter, primer, truck bed coating gritty black and clear coat sealer.

The truck bed coater gives it a nice rough texture and hides all the imperfections associated with painting in your driveway on a windy day! Put that down over the primer, and the paint coats over that and it works perfectly!!!



I'll have to get a picture of them in the sun, as the metal flakes make them a little lighter in direct light.

Those wheels are pretty sweet. I am concerned about your height. Do you wheel it? If so, you must only have about 3" of wheel travel in the front, GREATLY reducing offroad capability, especially without a front locker.

[Bob Barker]

Nah, I play in the dirt and mud when I can, but nothing serious. I have looked into the front ball joint flips and different bump stops, but I'll most likely not be doing anything real serious any time soon.

But I did find a nice set of Warn manual hubs that I hope fit in Planetisuzoo. Then at least if I get into anything real gnarly they will be the first, and cheapest, thing to snap. Like an inline fuse! I also wanted one of the super flexy IFS kits but can't afford one of those for what I do with the truck.
