Well, did install a new Trooper skid plate to protect the transmission shortly after purchase in 1999. That Trooper skid plate fit perfectly to the VX. As I faintly recall, the biggest challenge was buying screws to fit the pre-drilled holes in the frame. Can't imagine removing the front end, though.
