Potential Mods - Are They Possible?

[Marlin]

Hey Mike,


There are brush guards that can be modded to fit the front of the VX. Not sure about the light setup for the front, but with some fabbing, anything can be done. My lights go up top. Same goes for a winch mount. Some have suceeded in burying a small winch behind the cladding. Some have fabbed big ugly bumpers that ruin the good looks of the VX front end.

I took that thing off, as far as I know, Orion and I are the only ones with bumpers, and mine is almost identical to his...so if you are calling mine ugly....LOL. I also scrapped the winch idea, thats some big bucks for something I haven't needed. Of course, I don't play in the mud too often.

Mike,

There was an owner in Richmond (Nerve Gas) that did a 4 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift and ran 36" tires. He toasted his CV joints in less than a month and never had 4WD again.

I have a guy that modifies the differential brackets to lower it 2.5" to recover some of the angle. That should help.

I run 15" rims on mine but with a large offset so I don't have any interference issues with the calipers.

You'll have to face the facts: you probably won't be going over 33" tires and almost certainly not over 36".

Use the search function to find the lift & tire wiki thread. It has lotsa pix of different lift & tire combos.

so if you are calling mine ugly....LOL.

I wasn't referring to anyone....specific...
