    In this case, variety seems to be a scotch bonnet pepper... right in your eyes.

    Cool It's been done...

    I wouldn't do it because nothing is more humiliating that scraping your T-fer case over a speed bump at the local super market, but then to each his own Enjoy...

    Did anybody ever find out where to get those wheels? Me want. The only thing better than black is MORE BLACK. I was even thinking about checking into replacement black seats & stuff for the inside of mine down the road.

    But lowering? Never!

    Variety Shchmiety. Trucks don't belong anywhere near the ground. Form should follow function. One of my favorite things about the VX is how its form follows function. My wife's Impreza is close to the ground if that's your thing ... AWD, auto, hatchback ... basically a mini-VX built for highway driving more than offroad.

    But that's just my opinion

    I'm 100% with you dude

    Those rims that Daver has are OZ Cronos, basically impossible to get in the US as they were only made in Japan I guess. Daver told me he had them imported ($$$$$$$$$$$$) so imo its just not worth it, however they are SWEET.

    Speaking of more black, does anyone know positively if smoked headlight covers are ILLEGAL or just frowned upon? I suppose it might depend on where you live too...

    Are we talking about the same VehiCross?


    Back on topic though,
    The rear coils could be worked. I'm certain that you could find a lowered Trooper on CarDomain to get you looking on the right track. Since it's a solid axle, you won't have to worry about any camber changes in the rear. You will be making close friends with your bumpstops though.
    Now for the front, you could take a few notches off of your torsion bars. Custom t-bars are tough to find, and without some serious dampening would likely yield a wallowy ride. Expect to pick up some negative camber up front if you do this -an alignment shop might not be able to get you back into spec.
