4wd Hi Lo delete?

[Luna X]

I KNEW I would cause an uproar with that question...

You are right Billy, about the speed bumps... I have a 350Z with lowered suspension that almost gets high sided tryin' to get over those things.

With the 20" wheels and 50 series tires I put on the VX, it's more of an Urban Assault Vehicle we bought as a daily driver for my wife. She is a nurse and an instructor, so she goes all over the Phoenix area. The VX is a world better in handling than the Rodeo she owned for the last 10 years.

I did however just think of a possible need for 4 lo... Pulling a boat out from a boat launch. (that's if we get a boat)

Is this thread a joke. Have you done no research on the forum. What would you do when the zombie revolution comes? Bet you wish you had 4lo when you were trying to get out of some mall parking lot...

You do realize that if you do not need the 4WLO, you could easily drive any number of vehicles that would give you double the gas consumption. If you ever plan on selling, a low range delete could cost you thousands, but hey, everybody likes cupholders. I know, everyone has a vision of what they want in a car, and if that's what you want your VX to be, go for it. Maybe you could turn the transfer gear selector into an ipod holder! If you like the looks of your VX, and you don't mind putting all that gas into it, go ahead. There's plenty of places for cupholders, keep the low range, you'll never know when you may need it.

No offence guys, but you lot are OBSESSED with drinks holders!!

And that santa fe is a Nasty car! the only similarity i can see is that and the VX both have 4 wheels and two headlights


ps. why dont you get a motorbike or drummers cup holder which will clamp to the shaft of the HI/LO shifter ??

LMAO

It's the little things in life that keep us entertained.

Personally, I like our 'cup launcher' (can't remember who to give credit to for that phrase but use it alla time). It's second nature now to grab whatever is sitting in the console whenever I hit the brakes.

When I had the accident a few weeks back, I ended up with approximately 60oz of Iced Tea on the floorboard of the VX.

Ahh yes, cup holders; without those and ipod holders, cell phone holders and Big Mac holders, how could we possibly multitask whilst driving down the road? No wonder there's so many friggen accidents these days... Whatever happened to taking driving seriously? Now, where did I put my Beam & Coke? Obviously NOT in the cup holder I DON'T have! Just kidding guys...

[JAMAS]

If you dont have a passenger with you, slide the passenger seat extender out......Bam! cup holders a plenty. Its even adjustable based on cup size.

Damn, I have been driving this thing for 18 months and never thought of doing that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You sir are a genius. I owe you one

[Triathlete]

Just a FYI...a water bottle (cycling type) fits perfectly in the VX's square "cup holder".

And Luna...don't go running off. Some on here just feel stronger and voice their opinion more than others. There are plenty of VXers on this site who have never and will never take their VX off road. Everyone here is pretty good people and family/friend worthy. Some you just need to get used to their joking and good ribbing. In general, unless it is tech related, most of my posts need to be taken with a grain of salt. Besides, we need more active 'Zonie VXers on here!

[RamAirZ]

I actually utilize the square cup holder all the time, it fits my 12oz cans, fast food drink cups and drink bottles fairly well.

[Luna X]

Really...people!?

Like I would really take a cut off wheel to my gear lever... now that is crazy talk.

I haven't had the chance to look yet, but if I remember, most gear shifters come off with a single bolt or pin... then look!, it can magically be put back in if needed.

I'll make sure to drive 4 hrs out of my way in an effort to find bad weather or harsh trails just for a reason to put the VX into 4lo.......... Does anybody remember that these things are IN 4wd already??
