    Nice, looks great!

    I couldn't imagine selling the VX after you put all that time restoring & modding it...but you gotta do, what you gotta do.

    I can relate to your situation, the VX was my third vehicle... until I sold my truck to save for a house . Now the VX is the daily driver & gets all my attention .

    I'm the new and proud owner! I'm very excited about finally owning a VX and as David said am going to be fabricating some new fun parts!

    Good score, Amish - seems you got a helluva rig from Dawg. Again, welcome aboard!

    What kind of parts are you thinking of cooking up? Won't hold your feet to the fire here because, as you'll surely find, these forums are littered with lots of good intentions that never quite made it past the drawing board. But it doesn't hurt to dream.

    Navistar has those mirror "pods". I think they work pretty well!

    you can't buy the ABS version new as those were discontinued by Ron....Rowhard makes only fiberglass.

    BUT, METAL would be awesome!
    Rowhard....are you listening?

    Yes, we need a good steel-worker / welder / fabricator in the VX community wanting to make a profit, any takers?

    Did somebody say fabrication?
    Skid plates? Push bars? Nerf bars?

    I thought about... depends on your definition of "good"


    Seriously though, I had a thread about starting fabrication for VX parts. I still might make a couple things but in reality we (VXers) are unique and typically want different things to make our own look. There's a couple things everyone seem to like... skid plates & the concealed hitch. Fabricating takes a lot of time and effort so you need many buyers to actually make "profit" and for the most part there's just not enough VXs to make that happen.

    Agreed, but If someone does make a steel skid plate that looks just like the ABS version I'm sure that it could at least sell 50 pieces including to myself, as long as it is good quality. So if JDM or you or someone fabs a prototype and starts a pre-order or commit to buy thread after test fit and pics on their own rig ( they could keep it for themselves it not enough people commit to buy ) I'll be the first one in line.
