    stupid things in your VX!

    i thought itd be fun to see what kinda dumb (aka fun) stuff we do in our VXs my inspiration for this was looking through some pictures from my recent camping trip i found pictures of me pulling my friends up a tree with the VX... they were tied to one end of the rope.. which went over a pulley about 40 feet up.. the other end of the rope was tied to the back of the VX... good times

    OUCH...

    I'll have to hop into that boat too... (I've joined the wrinkled metal club in the past)

    Stupidest things I've hauled include...A potato cannon, water balloon launcher, various eight foot lengths of construction material, more tools & spare parts than could possibly be needed (still there )...I could come up with more, but only at the risk of brain injury.

    I've hauled 16 bails of pine straw on one of those short, hitch shelves - looked pretty funny going down the road.

    I have done way to many stupid things in my Vx to list. Included are: putting it sideways at 35mph in a gravel parking lot with bald tires (well not completely sideways), folding down the back seats and benching my rifle out the back door (long story), almost flipping it at Uwharrie national forrest, killing the alternator in a giant mud hole at Uwharrie, using the truck as a ladder to get up onto my friends roof (having 36's helped with that). I could go on all day with dumb stuff I have done in my Vx.

    Custom Independent4x 4.5" suspension lift, Custom Independent4x 3" body lift, 36x13.50R16 Irok radials, 16x8 American Racing Mojave teflons, Warn locking front hubs, Independent4x extended braided brake lines, Independent4x heavy duty tie rods, Calmini extended bump stops, Calmini extended brake line brackets, Rancho RS9000X shocks,1.5" wheel spacers, And trimmed cladding

    yea ive done some donuts... not in snow.. in mud that was a lot of fun.. asides from the not being able to see thing... after the car show last year i drove my front two wheels up some ramps and then onto a park bench lol then of course racing random people (including an old ferarri that was being restored) i regularly get the front wheels off the ground because of the terrible patch jobs on 95 through south philly

    Hmm, Drove from Cali back to Vegas with a C/F hood on the rack. Built a custom mount out of wood and styrofoam and had it wrapped in that packing saran wrap stuff through my windows and over, also had a huge cardboard wind farring so the hood didnt take off ( or rip my rack off the roof ).
