Suzy Gets High

[WormGod]

Looks good Ldub. Said you "got it installed".... meaning, someone did this for you? I want to get it done as well but the damned thing wouldnt fit in my garage then, heh.

How is the handling now and what size rubber meats are you running on?

[etlsport]

now thats how a VX should look!(except maybe on top of a mountain?) how did you do the black behind/above the rear windows? just repainted?

[Moncha]

I think more like shadow from the rack overhead..

[etlsport]

theres the pic that caught my eye, just waited til now to ask... pretty sure its not a shadow..

[Moncha]

Oooops my bad, From the above photo, it looked like a shadow... Very interesting.

Suzy looks pretty sweet!
Did you have that front skid plate on in Moab?

Peace.

Thanks gang...I appreciate the feedback.

WormGod,
Only two people have touched Suzy with a wrench since I've owned her...
An Isuzu tech, to replace the FPR under warranty & the body shop dude after my wreck 12-04. Not bragging or coppin' a tude here, just furnishing info. requested.
Maybe a larger garage addition in your future?
And yes, she feels a bit sluggish & top heavy, but after the bottom crunching hits sustained in Moab, a worthwhile trade imo.

etlsport,
Repainted, right you are. Cleaned it up real good with some adhesive & wax remover then scuffed the paint with a fine (320) sanding pad, then cleaned again, masked it off & shot it with a semi gloss rattle can.
I always thought the rear section looked too big/bulky & I also like the lines of the Amigo.

Bimati,
I think there's a twelve step program for that

Also, if my Indy 4x HD tie rod ends ever get here, I'm going to install them, re-pack the front bearings, do the ball joint flip & get her re-aligned...I'm hoping that'll be my project this weekend. It hasn't been that long since I ordered them, I'm just impatient.
Looking at both pics, I'm a little amazed at how different she looks. Last summer I thought the dubs looked huge...now, not so much.
Anyone wanna buy some slightly used Hankook Ventus street skins? (265/50x20")
I'm saving the 20" wheels, I think they'd look bad ash w/ some 33/12.50x20" Nitto Mud Grap's on em.

You have my blessing, my son...

In all seriousness, I'd take it as a compliment that someone actually liked one of my ideas.
Also, you live far enough east that our paths probably won't cross THAT often.
