    Well, ok then. Mine’s not, my roof rack sounds like a samurai sword being swooshed thru the air right at 70mph. It lets me know I’m speeding.

    Thumbs up

    Killinformula,
    Sounds like you got a great deal. All you need now are to get some 18" chrome wheels with some 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers and you'll be set.
    BTW - I think I know a guy who can hook you up.
    Peace.
    Tom
    p.s. It's always great to see another Texan with a VX. Last, I think the guys on the board would agree you got the coolest color for a VX.

    its a very precious commodity...

    seems like everyone likes to add to the roof and this is what is needed....there are limited amounts of them out there so everyone likes to have one...
