I would recommend a cargo box:):)

Then go about cleaning up fluids and belts to be new/flushed.

Then its all up to whatever you are into.


AND REMEMBER TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR OIL LEVELS

Though I would reset the order to fluids and belts first,

probably a good idea.

go with pacircmand's suggestion, then stop back for a cargo box:):)

Here's a few suggestions in addition to doing a fluid/filter flush/replacement ASAP:

1. Rear seat Trooper cup holder to go from 1 to 3 holders (do a search)
2. Passenger seat extenders to make it easier to access the back seat (PM tom4bren, I think he may be able to get more)
3. JAMAS box to make cargo area more useful :thumbup:
4. Roof rail crossbars if you don't already have them to increase storage options (PM VX KAT for suggestions on where to find them used)
5. All-weather mats for the front and rear seats and cargo area (search here or AutoAnything for Hexomat - they make great fitting stuff)
6. Optima or Diehard Platinum battery if you don't already have one
7. $3 blind-spot mirrors (greatly aid visibility)

You'll certainly want more over time but I think that's a pretty good start.

What do you really want to do? Are you trying to make it look better, be better for off-road trips, it really depends on you...

and x2 on making sure your fluids, belts, and hoses are in top shape first...:bwgy::smilewink:bgwo::bgwb:

When she's grown and married and you still have the VX with the chewed on toy in the fuzzy hole it will be in a word...PRICELESS!

what was the fuzzy hole originally used for?

To store viscous fluids....such as extra motor oil or tranny fluid. In some of the other Zus, I believe there are switches there, but to lower the VX weight and make it faster, they removed those convenient switches...along with the drink holders.

Now that's a heck of a calendar shot right there, your VX propped up on some massive rock ledge with the lambo doors open. :laughy:

I guess the answer is, even though parts are hard to find, add whatever you want to your VX, there are plenty of options out there. If you know how you want to use your ride, you'll soon learn what you want to augment it. Your options range from mild to wild.

Might just think about doing either suicide, lambo, or gullwing doors. I know some good fabricators... Gullwing would look stupid but coo, lambo would look great! And suicide is just crazy lol.
