    Finally a non bash the new guy information. Thanks Riff Raff I apreciate your knowledge. I must say I am still a little stooped on the 12 bolt rear gears. Non of the listings I found mentioned this and I am now having a very hard time finding any fitment for 12 bolt. My tires are pretty new and in great shape so tire change to me would not be beneficial in the long run since I will still end up with the same stock specs. I want to overcome the norm and work towards the modified so that when I do get new tires I will see even more benefit. I'm sure the torque of the 3.5 will not let me down with the change in ratio to reek the benefits of say driving a car instead using the granny gear ratio's this thing was made for. I don't creap up rocks or climb hills. My original purchase concerns were for pulling jet ski's in comfort and style. Which the VX does extremely well. I fell in love with the model when it was released and always dreamed of owning one. Now I just want to modify to my liking. This is something I have always done to whatever I have owned. One thing I've noticed is there is alot of couch potato's out there that think too much instead of getting off their keester and taking action to find a real outcome, since there are generally too many variables to fathum an end result. Ok enough of the deep thoughts by Randy. I need a beer to come back to reality.

    I don't think anyone has "bashed the new guy"...yet.

    You may not like the info you've been given, but there are a lot of us "couch potatos that think too much" that happen to know a thing or two about these vehicles...and the Isuzu corp 10 & 12 bolt front & rear axles they came with.

    Getting your panties in a wad & alienating those who have tried to splain what's what to you, is not what I'd call conducive to receiving further help...
