    Ital Design made the VX-O2. They are back in italy and won't contact anyone back, not even Isuzu. I have contact info for one of the VXo2 designers. Metal Crafters here in LA area said they can do it for $70k or so and they'd make the toneau, cut the windshield and dual exhaust and resupport the frame. GAS quoted 80k and would include new low profile seats, new rims, automated tonneau new side mirrors, and sound system. I'd go with GAS if they'd lower their price in 1/2. If wonder if they got 10 people willing to do it, if they could go that low. They said the most costly item is to make the mold for the tonneau. Doesn't look to like too many people are interested though.
    Call me a geek, or maybe even nerd, but face the facts, we da ones be rulin' this world!

    I also have a fully powered sunroof, tinted, retracts into the roof or can pop up for venting, has the sliding cover as well inside. I love it:

    Folks, My 2001 Dakota 4WD 5 spd V8 quad cab gets ~ 18.5 MPG around town (as long as I drive reasonably) and 22 mpg on the highway (under 65 MPH).

    I do agree however, don't try to make the VX something it's not.

    Its in the basement of the Peterson Auto Museum in LA.

    There have been a couple of group visits there by VX'ers from this site, organized by member "Baldwin"

    Video :- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS3KHIVCZOU

    More Pics :- http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...light=peterson

    It was an interesting design exercise for sure....
    It can be driven.... but the one off fiberglass rear "lid" hides a bunch
    of really nasty/rough fabrication ( see post 72 in the pics thread)

    More "show" than "go"....
