nfntruth, that Proton is NICE looking!

Good job.

Thanks Bart, too bad you took the racing stripe idea My safari rack is somewhat unique as well, it's not the normal square/rectangle shape, and its stamped with a large "X" at each junction,

It should fit the unique curves of the Vx perfectly. I will of course post new pics when its on.
As far as the Terra Grapplers, I think of them like Nikes, everyone gets them cause the swoosh on the side...lol. If I could have put any tire I wanted, I would have gone with the Toyo Mud Terrain, that's my favorite as far as looks go, but for a daily driver, no way!!!!

I take it you are talking about kodiak's black racing stripe on his Proton? Yes, looks very good. I don't think he would mind if you copied his idea, eh kodiak?

Yeah, that's a pretty cool basket.

That's my bad, I had downloaded the desktop wallpaper of the Proton Vx on "mars" and I keep thinkin it was called Bart's Vx...but yes, it is Kodiak's Proton...
With much chagrin,

Oh, I almost forgot, just a jab at Riff Raff, that's the "total piece of junk" that was in Columbus, OH that I flew out and bought...
Don't be mad Riff Raff, I couldn't resist.

Copy away! Yeah, it would be nice to have another stripped VX on the board. But be carful, Put some thought in to it. I’ve seen some pretty bad stripe jobs and I’d hate to see a bad stripe job on a VX. Research the style you want and try and find a good vinyl kit.

LOL, no problem, but you should know by now, "If it ain't black, I'm not driving it!"

Man, I can't believe how many combos there are out there. Cool to see them all in one place.

And why can't my VX's paint job look like this:





Bart

[pbkid]

ya thats one hell of a wax job.....lol....

Wax on - wax off, gasmask san...

Yours can't look like that cuz you...OFF-ROAD!

[kodiak]

There’s just something about the FJs OEM 17in steel wheels. With some flat mat black paint and some nice MTs or some Baja tires it would look so tuff.

[MSHardeman]

Check out these bad boys:

Yeah, that's right! Rollin' Geolanders wrapped around some SWEET 'teens from Isuzu. Sorry, just had to put that up.

I'm with Bart; how come my VX doesn't get that clean. I saw that picture and it looks like the paint is liquid. Nice job!!

[Riff Raff]

Don't be mad Riff Raff, I couldn't resist.

No offense taken "NFNTRUTH79" (tit4tat). I'm just glad that "total piece of junk" of yours found the best possible home to bring it back to life!!! Job well done. It just goes to prove that a little TLC goes a long way. Your Proton looks simply dazzling, and those Grabber AT2's are just awesome at only 44 lbs, and under $150. The Terra Grappler's have been officially de-throned. Welcome the new VX tire king, the Grabber AT2.

[tomdietrying]

ntntruth,
Hey can you post a close up pic of your VX tires/wheels? I want to get a better look at the tire that replaces the Nitto. I'm always looking to upgrade.
Peace.

p.s.
Your VX looks sharp.

Ultra Goliath wheels: 108mm bore
6 on 5.5, 18x9, 5.5" back space, +12mm offset
General Grabber AT2 275/65/18 P-metric
OME919 springs
14 turns on t-bar

I want to give a huge shout out to Riff Raff for all his research on the best tire for the Vx, at 44lbs and under 150 dollars, this tire is amazing, and should easily dethrone the terra grappler, if you can get ahold of these tires, they are on national back order at most retailers.

Oh yes he also e-mailed me about the same tires.
I'll definetly stick to these tires.I now working on the wheels,Wow there's so many nice-looking wheels that i can't choose any
