Why?..... because stock sucks.
Billy, glad your alright, and sorry about the accident. You know nothing is quick when it comes to getting replacement parts. I would tell them you will drop it off AFTER they get the parts they need. I bet its a good 4 wks at least just to find everything you need, take it to Moab and get it fixed afterward.....
Ask forgiveness, not permission.
Unfortunately the radiator is not up to the trip! Fingers are crossed. Will find out more tomorrow. Then I will weigh the options.
Man, I am completely sorry, but hey if you don't get it fixed in time just fly to Houston and take my VX to Moab and I will meet you there..... lol. Seriously though I am glad you are ok, and I am sure your VX will be better than ever in no time. Let me know if you need any cladding screws.
It does look like it's crying. Another possibility is that he took off because being rear ended by something alien and outer-space-like freaked him out.
Hey there! I kinda know what you are going through. i had a small front end collision with a kid in a pick-up truck. (i posted about this about a year ago) and was very worried about the time it would take to procure parts and replace them. i had my VX back in 6 days. they replaced the hood and front cladding along wih some other parts that you don't really see on the surface.
I actually think you are lucky that the other guy drove away. You may have been held liable and the cause of the accident because you didn't allow for stopping distance behind the vehicle. The other guy driving away surely had something to hide though.
Glad to hear you are well though, and with luck, you will be out there in MOAB with your VX.

Thats what I want to hear Mr. Badguy! And yea, since the guy left the scene I wasn't sighted...that and the fact that I knew all the responding officers![]()

oh hells no! if that would have been me i would have kicked some you know what! omg when someone scratched my door i was ready to kill someone! i feel really bad for you basically crashing my VX is one of the worst things that could happen! if it was the other guy's fault i would have run after them and beat him up lol

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

wow thats really too bad billy....you could be cool like me and sport the VX a little dinged up....thats what i do because i dont have time or money for fixing the damages....
well the good news is that because your lifted you only hit your cladding and radiator and not like...hood, headlight, fender, cladding, bumper (thats what i got from a yukon in a parking lot).....
cant wait to see ya in moab
Late seeing this. Dude.... do me a favor and back off! "I" am the only one allowed to wreck up VXs, hahaha.
Good luck on the speedy VX recovery.![]()

Wow Billy! I am so sorry. I hope I don't ever find out what I would do in this situation... because it would probably not be good... I am glad to hear you are alright at least physically. And we are all here for the emotional part.
