    Last year, bone stock- got some scuffs on the gas tank skid plate, and a few scuffs on the lowest part of rear cladding (they're off to left here, black color), and flattened the front lower bars of my bull bar. Also took a 2" chunk/gash out of rim of wheel.

    This year with the 285/60-18s, lifted it by 1 1/4", made a world of difference! Plus the Kilby plates came in handy, hit them a few times, but not much.
    Again, caught some good scuffs on lower rear cladding, seen in this pic as a whitish triangle shape, and the gas tank skid plate. (Need some Kilby's for that area!!)

    Also, front right wheel well arch cladding took a heavier scuff from a tree branch/bush....better than falling off the left side!
    Plus some typical pinstripes on the side cladding, but nothing on the paint.
    No tire or rim damage at all. No mechanical damage either.

    None of it really bothers me though! It's well worth it!

    BIGGEST ISSUE: Refinish/Restorer chips off when abraded by anything like bushes/branches!! So I have many areas on front fender cladding that's just chipped to all he!l.... Since I can't remove it, all I can do is slap on another coat.

    WOULD NOT RECOMMEND R/R IF YOU DO ANY WHEELING!!!!!!!!

    Nice pic's Sue. Hmmm; regarding rear area skid plate, fellow VX member "MARLIN" mentioned earlier that the CURT Rear Hitch (hang-down model) works quite well as a rear skid on severe departure angles. Essentially, the CURT Rear Hitch will take the damage/scuffing instead of the rear cladding/gas tank. Just a thought for ya'.

    EDIT: Case and point. See video in this thread Post #68 of fellow VX member "KODIAK" using his CURT Rear Hitch to slide off a large rock in the road at video time mark 1:50 -- 2:23.

    JEALOUS! JEALOUS! JEALOUS! Thanks for all the great pictures. It's nice to put a face on all of your Internet personalities and it's fun to see you guys challenging yourselves on tough trails Much Aloha from Kona ( has anyone figured out how to drive one of this things over an ocean yet? )

    Kona--- Your best solution would be to paint your VX in USAF Camo-pattern. Then simply load it on an outbound USAF C-17 cargo aircraft from Hickim AFB (Hawaii) to Hill AFB (Ogden, Utah). Do MOAB; then fly it back, problem solved. Your only challenge would be getting your VX past USAF security checkpoints (errrr, that would be a rather big challenge).

    I am now safely home in one piece. Will upload all my pics and post a s%*#load as soon as I can.
    I don't think anyone will challenge my reign this year as the "strap" king. 5 times on the recieving end this year...if there was a way NOT to go I tried it! (and for all of you with warped minds I am talking about a tow-strap).
