    Thanks for the help, Took the VX to my Mechanic threw a MAF code, and two codes with something about Oxygen sensor. Still waiting for the complete diagnostic to see what is wrong.

    What is "wrong" is that you're using the vehicle for things that the Izusu designers and engineers never DREAMED you (or anyone ELSE!) would be using it for, and subjecting it to elements that it was categorically not DESIGNED to withstand - that's what is "wrong"...

    Sorry Kids - Pops here, bringing you back to Reality. You wanna do this kinda stuff to a VX, you're gonna be spending some $ - an inordinant amount - to keep it running. Go buy a first generation Hummer for this kinda "torture test" abuse! Rant off now - back to your regularly-scheduled programming...

    AWWWW, let the boy play with his toy. If you're not fixing something, then you're not using it as it was intended to be used.

    As far as I'm concerned, the only 2 things that the VX was not intended to be used for is swimming & jumping. While I wouldn't intentionally subject BZBZZZ to those, I may end up finding myself in the situation eventually where it might happen; I do know that others do it on a fairly frequent basis.

    ROFL ... Just last weekend, Wifey & Boy were trying to hide a 24" crack in the windshield from me (they thought I'd be mad). Windshields crack even without abuse. Accept it ... fix it ... have fun with it. Boy wasn't expecting me to be mad about the scratched up headlights that had just been polished 2 months ago (good thing I can laugh about it now though).

    Nobody was complaingin about the damage or the problems I had with my VX, I was just asking for help diagnosting the problem before I took it to a mechanic. What is actually wrong is not taking your VX where it can actually go, what is wrong is wasting such a capable vehicle and letting it sit and being driven only on pavement.

    I like the VX, I dont need to buy a first generation hummer, and Yes I will spend all the money I can to keep it running and to keep breaking it, thats why I bought my VX in the first place.

    You cant go wheeling expecting everything is going to be perfect every single time.
