...once you get used to the more refined and quiet ride of the AT's, I doubt you'll ever go back to the noisy and bumpy riding MT's ...

We'll see ... it's kinda like a 'compensating thang'.

I'm surprised you don't get pulled over by the cops...

Only once ... & he finally admitted that he just wanted to talk to me about the VX (no, he didn't ticket me - even though he pulled me over for dead tags ... don't ask). Actually, I don't think that in VA an officer can pull you over for that but he can ticket you for it if he pulls you over for another infraction.

Hey now...I wasn't calling anything anything...pot, kettle or otherwise...

I just love illustrating other peoples posts...

Understooded. Just had to resurrect the 'gorilly feets' thang. Hadn't been mentioned in months.

Looks like you had to modify the front cladding wheel openings? Just curious. ("Looks tough", though.) Thx

Yup, significant trimming done by PO. I've done a little more & still need to perform a little 'plastic deformation' on the inner wells. I also replaced most of the hex heads with pan heads in the danger zones.

GTK. I was hoping for tires that would last. Even if/when I go back to MTs, I'll put these on different rims for towing the VX behind the RV.

Tom did you "convert" yours like Travellin2 did so it can be towed?

IIRC those tires rank really really high on TireRack's user survery site.

Sue,

I bought the mod pieces from Travelin2. I haven't installed them yet. Hope to get to it this weekend. Still need to purchase the towbar & figure out the best mounting scheme. I'm starting to lean towards using the front hook mounting holes rather than going through the front cladding.

Awesome, lucky you! That was quite a set up!

Yup, I'm the luckiest man I know.

A few of his trinkets will take time to duplicate but I'll get there eventually. In particular, I'm thinking of the safety brake feature where the towed vehicle brakes are applied if it ever breaks loose from the tow vehicle. That's a must eventually but for now I'll just have to rely on safety chains.

BTW, those are gone now. They didn't hold up very well & were coming apart. I'm back to nekkid seats now.
