    I would recommend a cargo box

    Then go about cleaning up fluids and belts to be new/flushed.

    Then its all up to whatever you are into.


    AND REMEMBER TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR OIL LEVELS

    Though I would reset the order to fluids and belts first,

    Here's a few suggestions in addition to doing a fluid/filter flush/replacement ASAP:

    1. Rear seat Trooper cup holder to go from 1 to 3 holders (do a search)
    2. Passenger seat extenders to make it easier to access the back seat (PM tom4bren, I think he may be able to get more)
    3. JAMAS box to make cargo area more useful
    4. Roof rail crossbars if you don't already have them to increase storage options (PM VX KAT for suggestions on where to find them used)
    5. All-weather mats for the front and rear seats and cargo area (search here or AutoAnything for Hexomat - they make great fitting stuff)
    6. Optima or Diehard Platinum battery if you don't already have one
    7. $3 blind-spot mirrors (greatly aid visibility)

    You'll certainly want more over time but I think that's a pretty good start.

    What do you really want to do? Are you trying to make it look better, be better for off-road trips, it really depends on you...

    and x2 on making sure your fluids, belts, and hoses are in top shape first...

    When she's grown and married and you still have the VX with the chewed on toy in the fuzzy hole it will be in a word...PRICELESS!
