    Welcome!
    I am 6'1" and as mentioned, just tilt the seat back a bit.
    I have had my Dragon for a year now, and have loved every minute of it.
    This is the best place to find all the info you need, and a great group of folks. I belong to a few other forums/message baords for other interests, and this is the best by far.
    Like Bart said, check your oil regularly.
    You may want to look at addressing the window tabs. Mine lag a bit, but I just guide it up with my hand. Haven't had a major problem, and I don't want to crack the doors open untill I do.
    I have had no issued with my stock CD player, yet...
    I live in a dusty area in the summer, so I have used Trim Shine for the cladding, as it is not oily/greasy and does not attract dust.
    I have not lifted, as I think it may throw off the excellent on-road handling characteristics of the VX, one of it's strong points.
    I have done some off roading, and the VX is great right out of the box, although I do have larger aftermarket tires.
    There is much wisdom here, and you will have a blast.
    Enjoy the ride!
    Best,

    Welcome Grandall,

    You've found the right place for VX info. This site has been a treasure chest of good info for me. A quick and easy mod that I would recommend is changing the head lights and the bulbs in the little round lights in the bumper. It is very easy to do and makes your truck look even better.

    Congratulations on owning the coolest vehicle in your neighborhood.

    welcome to the board and the fam...

    the only thing i haven't seen anyone mention is that you should change your PCV vavle every time you get an oil change...its really easy to do (takes about 1 minute) and its a cheap...only like $2 at checker/kragen/shucks....

    other than that like everyone else said, there are no required mods, but only what you think is necessary...there are people here who never wheel and they will never lift their VX...there are people who wheel all the time and all the want is a solid axle swap...there are music buffs who build sound systems...and there are people who buy superchargers and make their VX fly...and of course there are people who keep em stock (not many)....

    surprised no one else said anything but becoming a site supporter is also a great thing to do but not required...it will open up much more room for messages in your inbox, it will give you more access on the site, you can customize your signature and picture.......and it helps keep the wealth of information here...(and its only a minimum of $20 a year)

    oh, and we are getting ready to meet up in moab in may...its a great way to network with other VXers, see mods and have a great time....
