What is it with Kane Creek & Abandonment?

it isn't a dime a dozen

Correct, and I think that is where the "Jeep Thing" comment came from. It's not a dime a dozen, so why are you "defacing it" in such a way???

I mean, to each his own, but man...

Gotcha, almost all of my mods are functional, things to improve the performance of the VX. So if that is jeeping it out, Sliders, tires, functional front end, skid plates, safari rack(not a jeep thing) ,then label me a Jeeper.

And that means those with S/C or turbos are ricers....

I'm not labeling anyone anything, in fact I hate labels on anything/anyone, I was just making a guess as to where that came from.

Personally, I think all those things are fine, and I will hold my comments until you are done, but in my opinion, the body and style of the VehiCROSS is what makes it look so damn cool and sets it apart from everything else, so I am a bit off-put by your massive front end mutilation...er...um...I mean modification.

wow... this the rip on marlin thread?? did i miss the memo??

almost all of my mods are functional, )

in my opinion the most important part... and completely true, the exterior mount spare is not functional, but your bumper....definately! which one of us DOESNT wanna protect their baby from damage??? all of us! your just keeping your baby safe

so I am a bit off-put by your massive front end mutilation...er...um...I mean modification.

bart... i would think you would be one of the last to speak regarding doing obscure things?? i've heard you talk about mounting a turret gun on your roof?!?!

it just seems like you are picking on him because he is trying something different on a shallow pocket (which one of us doesnt have one of those anymore?)
i think its amazing for someone to build something that far with NO previous metal working experience... surprised you guys are more positive about it..

isnt it hard for you to rip on someone building a bumper for offroad use when you are talking about things like this??


..

Where did I rip on Marlin? I said NOTHING in my post or any other about his bumper! That post is in reference to Zeus and his ???? about writing off his tools on his taxes.

Hell yeah, that's why it works!

Possible Analogy: I would never use the "N-word" when talking to a black person... Yet they can throw that word around like a frisbee if they want to!
Possible Analogy 2: Slapping Jeep-esque style on a VX is like dressing a Playmate in a burka! It has a purpose, but what a shame.

I'll clue you in a bit. Chris has always had all these comments about Jeep this and Jeep that, Jeep people this and Jeep people that - like Bart, but more so. Although I told him I have a Jeep AND a VX AND an Army truck and think that whole little guy (non-Jeep) issue toward the big guy (Jeep) is retarded, he persisted. Likewise for a Jeeper to have issue with the rarer rigs... So for me, I see (kind of like a huge hood ornament I guess) someone who is "just asking for it". I happily oblige. Now, in defense of Chris, he has put up with it and taken it pretty well - so kudos to you, Chris, for taking what you can dish out! I find it quite fun now, although, still a bit retarded... I guess it just fits us, aye?

Besides, look at my sig; I am supposed to put lightning bolts down people's shorts! I think several people here have a healthy relationship of ribbing on each other and as tom4bren learned me, using smilies at every turn and beating a dead horse is the only way to live!
