Welcome to the addiction. Nice lookin rim/tire combo. I personally prefer more rubber & less rim but just IMHO.

[WormGod]

Lookin' good, though I gotta agree, not a fan of the Pimp My Ride wagon wagon wheels. :p

Welcome.

[bigkoala1]

is the cladding painted base clear? or is it fresh tire shine?

also what kind of stereo is in there? i see its sitting kinda low in the back!!!

[etlsport]

cool i like the cladding.. as said before i prefer a smaller wheel but that does look nice, did you have to lift the vx to make it all fit? the front looks lifted, the rear doesnt

[VCrossfan]

Welcome, Looks neat but I bet the ride is very firm and the fronts have to rub at times. Looks nice though...

[ericjimenez]

thanks, well i have a custom audio and rims store and these type of rims sell, i do like big tires too but i have my jeep for that. i just wanted something different.

It has a verry loud system, ill put pics later.

all i did was crank the torsion bars on the front and cut a little of the cladding and it fit.

Does not rub at all. nothing.. thats awesome. i think it rides just the same as it did with the stock 15's just a little heavier.

I had the cladding painted black. its not armorall lol.

[VCrossfan]

Stocks are 16"

[Gussie2000]

You are so welcome to the family eric.

I've sent you a PM to figured out how much you wan for the roof racks

[JHarris1385]

I have to say I like. I have a set of 20's that go on in the summer time.....
What tires are those?

I LOVE THE CLADDING!!!
Great look for a street only VX. Off-road it'll get ripped, but that looks great! Welcome to the club!

012009 Yeah...he's climbing rocks:p:p Looks great...I like that take on this vehicle. It's perfect for what you are using it for. Excellent! Let us know if we can help

[Chopper]

The more I look at it.....the more I like it. Good work

[VXD959]

Eric

Nice looking VX! Reminds me a little of Rickster's, who also had an audio shop (www.soundjamz.com)
Did you paint the cladding, hood insert and the half moon in the back? If you don't mind to tell us...How much did it cost you to paint it?
I really like the looks!

Where is Donna, TX? (sorry, to busy to map it...)

[ericjimenez]

donna is in south texas close to mcallen

yea i remember seeing his there in pearland. i used to live there close on mykawa rd. for about 3 months.

///

yes the cladding is painted. i did it myself so it just cost me time and paint. i used a new paint just for plastics thats ultra flexible. hope it holds up well.

im not going to offroad it anyway. it is just for demoing our mtx line.

we are going to do a fiberglass system on this one
check out some of the ones i have done.

I have never gotten as many compliments as i have with this ride. its a special vehicle.

[nocturnalVX]

I know that one will never do Steel Bender (or any other trail) in Moab... nice ride to showcase your store though!
