    Good to hear. Stories like this make me feel happy my VX is hibernating in the garage.

    Trust me, with those size tires and a 3" lift, you're already looking up at it.

    WooHoo!!!

    The Proton is safely back home now. I picked it up on Friday evening.

    Everything appears back to normal with it except for 2 issues:

    1. Stupid TOD lite is still flashing at me.

    2. They replaced the front & left fender cladding & now the tire rubs at full lock. I'll hafta do some more trimming.

    The total bill was $3500. The place that did the repair did great work but they were'nt cheap.

    I'm curious about the spare steering box that RamAirZ provided. No leaks & no play. Why did his VX come with the spare.

    They didn't use the pump so that's available if anyone needs it.

    I have a spare in my garage. Got it cheap on Ebay. Never know when you are going to need it...PO may have been a parts collector as well.
