My VX...a work in progress.

Nice job...if we had 2nd VX I reckon the ultimate 4wd look yuo've got is 'the go'... good stuff !!..we've kinda got the road warrior look with with our current VX ..and then a 2nd one with wild tough off roader look !!...hey yours might be just scary enough anyway to do the road warrior thing as well...NICE job well done

Thanks...I appreciate your "good stuff'
(yea I'm a POMMIE..I understand Aussie!)

But I still lust after a HOLDEN UTE.....

The V8...
The "Business like" stance...
The 'Nulabor'...at 120mph!

...and the chance to kit it out "Road Warrior" stye!

BTW...

Best party I EVER had...Aussie Bi-centenial..Sydney harbor.

OHHH..Goose Pimples..It was THAT good!

Any chance you could disclose the MPG your pulling with those 33's and the lift and such?

Your pics just about just made me change my mind on leaving my VX stock.

[JoFotoz]

I can only give you an approximation.....

I put the wheels and rims on at 12800 miles ( yea..on a 1999!)...

..and I have still only JUST gone over 13000.

I did a 160 mile run on Sunday...mostly freeway.

I think I got about 12 MPG....but have not filled up yet.

I'm still on "British" gas price comparison...even after being here 15 years!

I really dont care....my other ride gets 8 mpg!

Thankfully , I only do about 5000 a year between two vehicles....
...Oh the JOY of working from home!

Hope this helps...

Well it helps. But I was wishing and praying you were pulling like 17-18MPG. but oh well. I am still liking it and I think I might do the same thing as far as lift and tires.

Any sign of wear on your CV boots or CV?

[JoFotoz]

Within the first 30 miles after the lift...drivers side CV boot ruptured!

My "DD" & the input I got said that this happens cause the boots get "used' to a given angle..

I've replaced it , and so far , so good...but a front drop (1.5 inches) is not out of the question.

I'm on a steep learning curve here!
