Tyler's Mods

[vt_maverick]

I know we all want our VX's to be unique, but you really should consider packaging some of these mods and selling them on the board. A lot of this stuff reminds me of the products Tone and Rudy (ron) used to sell through their websites. Will you get rich quick? Almost certainly not. But could you make some nice extra $ to fund more mods? I certainly would think so.

Regardless this is top notch work dude. I look forward to seeing more great stuff in the future!

Thank you very much. I'm serious... I couldn't do what I do in terms of VX projects if I weren't single. When I'm not working, I am working on an idea, or documentation, or finding memorbilia from around the world, or doing a new mod, or restoring another part, it's always something with the VX. It really is an obsession for me.

I've thought about selling stuff... thought about it a lot. Obviously it wouldn't make a living, but there's so many things people have emailed and asked me for, I thought maybe I could have a few handful of the most commonly asked for items (screws, grommets, fasteners, a few mods, etc.)... I dunno... if I continue to get the feedback... maybe I will.. dunno.

Impressive!!! I look forward to seeing everything in person this May.

Yea, same here. I can't wait. I was just thinking tonight about getting something booked... and made a comment about it on the Moab thread. Can't wait! I get so excited just seeing 1 other VX, but more than one... omg I am going to go nuts!

That's a pretty thorough sound deadening job. How many lbs of sound deadening was added?

I just started the process tonight, of putting everything in a spreadsheet. I've done it before, but lost all my data and had to start over.

She still gets up and goes and still has a punch, but you can definitely tell the weight is there. It feels more sturdy, very quiet on the inside. Conversations are very clear. It makes the VehiCross feel like a much more expensive vehicle, better made in a sense. It's hard to explain. Since I'm still not on the road yet, it's hard to say if I'll really like all the pros vs the cons (noticeable less mpg I'm assuming).

I don't have the exact figures yet, but I used (2) whole packages of :

Dynamat 10465 Sound Deadener Xtreme Mega Pack-9 Sheets
9 (24in x 48in) pieces of Dynamat Xtreme

I've searched everywhere and NOTHING has the documentation of the weight. Even the technical sheet isn't helpful. It has weight of small pieces, but you would have to do the math I guess.

I emailed tech support and am waiting to hear back. I've always wanted to know myself, so I'll post when I hear an answer.

Really cool stuff you are doing to your VX. I have major mod envy. If you need someone to "oh and ah" your work when it is all together PM me and I will drive from Nashville to pay my respects.....really cool.
