    Bieredalsace,

    These photos were taken during a recent trip to Luray. You can see how it compares to a couple of stock height VXs & one other lifted one.

    The Vehicross is actually very easy to work on, especially in today's world of automobiles, don't sweat it, if you can dream it you can do it.

    Cutting the cladding is not that big of a deal and you can barely notice after you are done here is my thread where I did the cladding trim, no big deal at all:

    PHHHTTT!!! (Soup Nazi says 'no brackets for you'). Just remember, whenever you are wallowing through the ruts - I'm floating over them.

    I would say you are more straddling them, lol...... or just simply going around them avoiding all the fun and mess..... "No fun for you!"

    Eric,

    That video was great. Any way that I could get a copy?

    I loved the fact that it shows LittleBeast that a healthy offset is not just purdy but functional too.
