the sign of a great vehicle

[ZEUS]

Bart, when my VX is paid off, I may be moving on... or I may buy a cheap daily driver and a donor +/- '94 Land Cruiser to swap the VX body onto the shortened frame (Solid axles, auto, V8, and selectable lockers out of the box - still researching). I have another 2 or 3 years to decide - and who knows what could happen in that time! I chose to buy a VX because I figured it was now or never, and I wanted to have one before they were all gone or falling apart. I don't regret it for a minute, nor am I ready to throw in the towel... I'm still having way too much fun with my 64,000 mile Zeus! Didn't mean to scare ya! Doing that much work on it though, is more of a dream than it is a reality, so who knows?!

Well, I guess I will except that answer...for now. I'm right behind you on mileage. I just rolled over 60k last week. And once mine is paid off, I plan possibly buy another vehicle as well. But, the VX stays!

I really want a Polaris RZR, so once the VX is free and clear, my next debt might be for a RZR.

me too. I have a 93 TLC that I'll only part from if it comes to a choice between it and the VX (not likely). We got the TLC used because it was a good price & one of the few vehicles at the time with seating for 8 (my three & her three at the time).

As time went on tho, realized that it was probably the ultimate vehicle of it's time (virtually unstoppable). At 1/4 million miles - it's still kicking arse.

I could never plunk the VX bod on it tho. It's a straight 6 so the VX hood would have to be stretched 1/2 way to forever.

Are the 93's FJ80's?

my vx could die and still wouldn't leave me... I'd figure anything out to get it back to life. the only way to seperate me and my vx {besides prying the steering wheel out of my cold dead hands} would be if it was seriously totalled to the point of no recognition... and I'd still have to think about it. I absolutely love 'er. And on the subject of two'ing it up... my second choice would have to be an ebony all blacked out. If not I would get any color and do an extensive tan paint job, kinda military like..

I am a lifer =)

Um... do you collect gas masks per chance?
