    Welcome

    Good to see another VX in the Houston area. If you have any questions or want to meet up, I will be at the Houston vs Rice football game at Rice University at 8pm, just e-mail me, I will check my e-mail sat on my phone. If you are hoping that those lights will light up the road they will not. They are just for looks, i am guessing the guy before you may have disconnected them and put different ones in and then maybe did not wire them back correctly, i have tons of those extra bulbs as I have replaced all of mine with LED's and I can bring some to the game to check for you. I have tried all different qualities of gas and can say for me that I have noticed no real noticable difference between any, so for now it's reg. Yes those tires look to be almost between 30" AND 31" a little bigger than stock, but your wheels are bone stock 16" that came on the 1999. 2000, and 2001's came with stock 18" wheels. Hope that helps and I hope to see you at some of the VX meetings.
    In Christ,

    I will not be able to make the game because I have to work tonight. I go to UH, so I would love to have gone, but there was no way that I could get off. I am sure us Houston VX's could set some sort of meet sometime soon... that would be great. I am not sure of too many good off road places around here, but possibly we could make a day of it.

    Chances are we'll probably get together sometime this fall around Texas Renaissance Festival time. Will add you to the list and let you know date as time gets closer...

    Hey Ryan- if you happen to stumble onto a couple UT & Rice tickets I would be humbly grateful if you'd drop us a line

    Corrosive, did you try pushing the mystery button on the dash?! It might be to release the rear door (in OEM form, it ONLY opens with the key from the outside - period). Tone sells a door-popper kit that many of us have installed, and that's exactly where my switch ended up.

    I tried... I will check again. Would I be able to tell from looing at the rear lock? It looks un-molested. I may buy that rear popper and then install it to that button.

    If it has a door popper kit, you should see a spring-loaded plunger thingy (or even two of them) mounted on the black trim of the rear hatch are on the right side (as you look in). If that's what it is, you would definitely hear the sound of the solenoid when you press the button.

    Make sure you have the ignition in the ON position while you try to figure out what that switch does, as whatever it is may be wired in to a switched circuit.

    Good luck!
