    Sick you say? Them is fightin words buddy.

    I didn't do the lift & I didn't choose the wheel/tire combo but I like the look.

    The previous owner seemed OK to me but then I was counting out serious $$$ at the time so I guess he would have been nice to me.

    BTW, the attached picture was from the ebay listing.

    Tone - I'm on my knees begging forgiveness. In no way was I trying to disparage your products. I've been totally impressed by all I've gotten from you & I plan to order more later (push bar). I realize that it is the other mods on my vehicle that is causing my woes.

    Tom -
    Sick = awsome. I love the look. There is worries about the weight of that wheel on the back door.

    I simply emailed the seller via ebay and complimented his ride and asked him to join this community to share insight and opinions and what not. There is a thread on it somewhere cant locate it though. But his reply was very arrogant, stating that he is superior to us becuase of what the state of now your VX is.

    hey tom glad you enjoyed your time up here.. i havent made it out the king tut exhibit yet.. a little too much $$ for me, still bet it was pretty cool though, i used to frequent univ of penn's anthropology and archeology museum, fun stuff

    sorry to stir up so much about your VX, i figured that guy was long forgotten by now.. guess not oh well.... im torn on the look.. definitely unique.. very aggressive.. but not something i would do to my ride.. then again its not my ride.. so enjoy it! i wanna see some pics of that thing tearing up the trails! good luck getting those step bars moved so they dont rub

    The weight of that wheel/tire on the back door is friggin heavy - always careful when opening. All of the latches & stuff seem to be holding up though. I keep checking for metal tearing but he put a quarter inch thick plate inside & out to distribute the weight. Needless to say I won't be purchasing Tone's door popper.

    I actually worry more about the load on the bearings. That much offset could cause woes in the long run.

    ETL - "i used to frequent univ of penn's anthropology and archeology museum" I guess you're talking about the Mutter (sp?) museum. Been there - done that - loved it (in a morbid sort of way).

    I hear that King Tut is sold out for the rest of the exhibit. It was pricey but wifey, I & kids are all mummy freaks so 'had to'. Unfortunately no mummies in the exhibit.

    I have done mail orders with Tone on occasion some time ago. Check by mail. I am sure he probably does that still but expect delays with out of state check transactions, of course.

    Tom, I dont think anyone has issues with the VX, it was the previous owner that apparently was the issue. For the life of me though.... a big old mudder on the tailgate? *sigh* That man was a butcher! You seem like the someone with a bit more care-of-thought so I am sure that VX is in a better home now.

    Just don't pull out the sawzall or anything, heh.
