    There's about three conflicting ideas in that sentence (VX, simple, mounted lights). This topic has been heavily discussed, but since you're a Foxfire brother I'll spare you the "use the damn search engine" comment.

    If you're strictly looking for off-the-shelf there's nothing out there. Generally speaking, catalogs/websites for the major manufacturers don't even list an option for the VX, so you're kind of guessing at which model will fit. (Those that got their push bar from Tone may have the number though.) If you figure that out you'll need to fabricate custom mounting brackets for the bar, as well as run the wiring and switch for the lights.

    Food for thought... brush guards may look cool, but depending upon the closeness of the fit and the degree to which it wraps around the front, even a low speed impact can result in much more extensive damage since the force would be distributed across the cladding, grill, hood, headlights, etc. If I was serious about doing this I would look at a push bar rather than a brush guard, since the smaller/lower stature means that an impact would likely only affect the cladding/bumper (which would be damaged anyway). Hiredgoon's home-made model is pretty sweet - now if we could only get him to post a pic of it after he painted it black. Ahem...

    I wonder if the "Super Bumper" guy could make a brush guard with the same technology. Absorb some percentage of front end impacts.
