That gets you new ball joints with a flip, front locker, OME lift, and some judicial scratches and dents to give it that "ripped jean" look

    Wouldn't mind some of that (flip and OME lift) but based on that last part I'm not sure I'll bring her any closer than across the street for fear of a Marlinstein attack.

    I'm with pbkid, just do the whole vehicle. IMHO this is one of the toughest looking VX's out there:

    I had a reason for doing it. The VX was in an accident back in 04, drivers fender is not the original, it is a much lighter after market, you can tell by knockin on it. They did an awesome jobon the paint match, but the paint itself is cheap. It chips if you look at it, and I was just tired of touching it up. No more touch ups for me. I will have to post a distance picture, its actually not so bad. I do need to finish the insert and start on the cladding.
    I think the Linex version looks pretty sweet,minus the PVC pipe on the front and the dryer conduit snorkel, but hey, with our trucks, you gotta fab your own stuff.

    Here are the distance shots, like I said, it doesn't look bad at all. Please note that my lawn is a little bit greener than the neighbors.

    Maybe the rear bumper bar behind the cladding, and he just drilled a hole through the cladding to attach it? I can't think of any other place to mount one that would be that high up.

    1) Why are you licking the side of that pick up?

    2) Hmmm, I always imagined you would be taller.

    I'm really starting to warm up to flat and satin paint jobs. That looks just plain EEE-vil! Hmmmm, don't they make Line-X in various colors? I think Isuzu picked some great colors and I bet a maroon/black or dark green/black VX would be pretty amazing.
