    On other side, they could also de-value the VX in the buyers mind. Someone who would spend that kind of coin on a non factory mod would probably have done so for a reason...how hard was this VX really used?

    I am somewhat amazed, but very happy to hear
    that some testing seems to show that the heat issue...

    ...is a non issue

    I think Billy summed it up..something in-between the Trooper bare bones approach
    ( which does seem to work perfectly well when lifted) and the full Kilby sheathing would be the ideal set up.

    And yes Sue, I think your standard ride height probably benefits from the full coverage ,
    however other non lifted VX's ( Mr G !!) do gnarly trails without ...

    In most cases,I would spend the money on a lift FIRST .

    Of course a good spotter helps more than anything!
