Potential Mods - Are They Possible?

[BigMeatVX]

Yes all those mods you want are relitivly easy...

I also bought my very first VX with the sole purpose in mind of cutting out the fenders and going with HUGE tires....Thats why I liked the cladding...its easy to hack up...

I ran 36" tires for years with no body lift..I have a 2" diff drop, OME 919 rears, OEM isuzu shocks..I removed all the plastic inner wheel liners and took a sledge hammer to the parts that were in the way...I am running 35s currently, and think they are the limit for the CVs on Rocks...in mud, snow or loose terrain, 38s would be doable....

Its funny reading where others say this and that isint possible....from behind there keyboard... some folks can type alot better than they can use a wrench or a welder I guess

My next set of tires will be at least 37s ....and I am completly upgrading the front IFS as well...much larger axles, CVs, diff, brakes, berrings...ect...Dana 44 stuff...

To fit my 37s, and allow maximum articulation, I will be "tubbing" out the rear fender wells...and in the front I will be eliminating the inner fender parts alltogether....


Any way....get the VX and do what you want to it....it is a great platform for modifacations....

And you DO NOT need some damn SAS

Its funny that you mention that, cause I have done some of the things others said were not possible, but, if he had those welding/fab skills, he wouldn't have asked the questions that he did...as I said, with enough funding, anything is possible, and I agree about the SAS.
A few of the King Of The Hammer trucks run IFS. I would not be surprised if none of those trucks had less than $100K in em. (equivalent wrench time, not just parts)

All were no less than D60's and the axle shafts were in the 2inch diameter range! But that race is a whole differant ballgame (I plan on being there to crew/spectate within the next few years...I have an open invite)

Like a lot said already though...everything is possible, but you need at least 1 of the following
mechanical/fab skill
or

I have 20's w/265-50 series Yokohama Spec-X tires and had to trim the front cladding just a tad. Still stock suspension height.

Cool, but I think if he is gonna get into wheeling, he will probably go with 16" rim, the tires are WAY cheaper, and there is a much larger selection.

When you get ready to buy your VX, make sure you get the faster more powerful model....the Proton. (shameless plug, don't be jealous because I beat ya'll to it)
