:eek: Dude that is sweet! And 6500 pounds doesn't seem that bad given all the accessories (I especially like the roof mounted light bar).

lol, or he's just dyslectic

check out ebay for the light pod, its bit of a cheep one ! Also, i think he may struggle at that price, its got standard suspension (although he states otherwise) and most of the things he lists are the standard spec of a VX. All it has of value is the front A bar, spot lamps wheels + Tyres and exhaust. There was a clean one with a gas conversion went for under �4k

Whats the thing on the bonnet, as theres no cut out undernieth in the engine bay
The induction kit is an old filter thats not fitted
No proof of 240bhp (i would think 240 from a 185 N/A engine is impossible with a chip + filter)

Plus he uses the word Jeep....

Maybe im being a bit hard!! Its a rare colour here! and low mialage and if it sells at that price i might sell mine, lol

Lol... clearly I didn't look close enough on the first pass. But even if the guy's a poser, it's a pretty sharp (albeit eccentric) truck.

Crotch, I'll take a look at eBay and maybe post the link in this thread. Do you have a name for those roof lights? I'm thinking a "roof lights" search may turn up a few thousand hits...

Never mind, apparently there were only 68 results for "roof light bar" and you're right Crotch, it's out there and listed as a Jeep (I'm thinking Liberty Renegade perhaps?) accessory:

Love the bull bar. Ive been looking for one like that over here, ill find one oneday but dont wanna pay the crazy prices some people put them up for like 300+ for a standard old bar.

But otherwise the thing on the roof with the 4 lights in it is like what Castigan has on his vx!.

Nice looking toy !

I just bought a pair of those dakar stickers,the VX worth displaying them since it won the rally back in 1998

By the way those tires are sweet

rocketman, keep me posted on that bull bar. Reminds me on the one a member from down under (can't remember user name, I suffer from C.R.S. real bad) had made out of polish alloy, sweet:yesb::yesy:

Those tires are "clones" of the lightweight Yokohama - Geolandar M/T Plus in LT265/75R16 (32" O.D./47.5 lbs) and are bolt-on perfect on a non-lifted VX if used with the 1999 stock OEM 16x7 rims.

I've seen that same exact front big-tube bull bumper from a fellow VX'er here in our Photo Gallery. He also had a matching big-tube rear chrome bumper, and matching big-tube chrome nerf bars on his VX (totally all bling'ed out), but now I can't recall the member's handle.

The Hood Scoop looks more like the "Roach Motel" for Rats and other various rodents.

It's a shame that lightbar is so flimsy, it looks better on the VX than it ever did on a liberty.

Wonder if you could find hela or piaas that would fit the light brackets and then reinforce it a bit. The shape of it really looks good on the VX.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe you could use a couple mighty mounts to secure it to the front rack bar? My main concern would be preventing it from flying off at speed (it mounts with body kit double stick tape doesn't it?) so anchoring it to the roof bar seems like the logical choice. Would just have to figure out how to do it in such a way as to still allow cargo boxes/racks to be attached to the bars.

Things that make you go hmmm...

I first became aware of this VX in early Oct of last Year when it was sold by a guy in Glasgow for �4500 on Ebay with 33Km on the clock. Then it was just a nice example of a stock VX, since then it seems to be blinged up by the current owner. Since it's purchase in Oct 08 it has done 24000 miles - that seems a lot in a year!

If anyone's interested.

but would never buy a vehicle so modified. Even if I like the mods the owner wants paid for his mods instead of depreciating them as used parts and one so modified for 4 wheeling can only assume to have been heavily used,

Possible, but I've seen plenty of poser's on the road with super-pricey lifts/tires/rims/etc., and the thing is so clean you could eat off the undercarriage. I know that's SOP for rickshaw, but I'm willing to bet those guys have never hopped a curb, let alone gone offroad.

Its being sold by some scottish Knob
its not a Dakar model - it's just made to look like it and advertised like it
i would say its been thrashed and it's a heep
i would go as far as to say the car is a total waste of money
its had so many non genuine parts fitted it no longer deserves the name Vehicross
the guy was just talking about 'jeeps'
i did try to say its not a 'jeep' but he wasn't listening
good luck to whoever buys it - i think we may have some spares coming soon
cheers

Oh the poor thing...

I found another one recently, but need to get the piccy off a mate's camera. It is immaculate and stacked with JDM accessories (side steps, solid mudflaps, mats, etc.). The only thing it was missing was Crotchrocket's ickle light bar. I was really upset when it rocked up at JAE - I wanted to be the only one.

How many does it need Alan?!? We could make it a UK meet next year?!?

James - I'll ignore the audi comment :p - but did you ever find out about the A bar? I'd certainly be interested in something similar!

Nick

Sorry for the delay...

I really don't know. If there are 3 of us there will still be more than on the Lexus stand. If they're being really strict I suppose we could "rent" some space from YCUK. I'll try and get Chris that runs it drunk at the wedding we'll bth be at in Dec and persuade him its "a good idea"!
