Come anyway! It would be nice to hang out with a bunch of fanatics! With or without the VX's actually being there... We'll be inside dining and gaming anyway. i will at least have mine there for everyone to oogle over! ;)

I can make it. I also talked to Rich a.k.a. AnalogVX, and told him to dust off his VX.info membership. Looks like he will be posting and showing up as well. Look forward to seeing everyone. This meet is open to anyone, but it is understood people in other states may not be able to make it. However, all ya'll Texas VXers owe me one...see ya there... ;)

I know there are more VX's out here than this??? Come on people... It'll be fun!

Knigh7, I believe I tried to get a meet together in Vegas... no one was interested. :( If you want... go to Moab in May I am sure I will be there!

Yeah, I remember. I was so busy with work and school at that time... I've seen so many VX's here the past several months. But none of them where interested in joining the family... :(

Have fun with your get together, take lots of pix! :)

Even though only 4 VX owners showed up, the meet was fun & it was very cool seeing everyone. I love hanging out with fellow VX fanatics! I loved the fact that the two lifted VX's belonged to the girls... :thumbup: Talk about Proton envy... Can't wait for the next one! Here are some pics...

Its too bad I didnt make it in to Chicago to visit the famly this xmas... otherwise I would have been there. Too bad my mom traded her vx for a outlander a few years back. :eek : Happy Holidays!

I believe CeCe is running 31's and Yal^ is running 33's...I'm sure they will correct me if I am wrong.:cool:
Looks kind of cold there!:p

Yup, you are right Billy.
33s on 12.5" wide rims. Someone did a hack job on my cladding - I should've been there when the tires got put on - but I will fix that sometime in the summer...

yal^ how many miles do you get on a tank of gas? Does it really effect it your mpg much?
Thanks and Peace.

Yal^...your tires are probably 12.5 wide but not your rims. They should be 8-10 inches wide I would think.

I have 32" BFG A/T's with 15" rims! YEEEAAAH! No more stock VX for me!!!! :bgwp:

yup... right again, Billy. 10" wide rims, 12.5" tires.
Tom, the gas milage went to hell. I can't even say anymore. I have a Civic for DD and my Geek Mobile for work, so gas on the vx is not so important at this point. Although if I was going to Moab this year I'd rather tow it than drive it from IL...

What is this IF stuff? Get a tow truck!

lol!
Tow trucks don't grow on trees nor can I harvest one somewhere for just manual labor... :rolleyes:

Truthfully though work may get in a way this year...
