The box/bed you have is really cool. A question...Do you have your back seat in or removed. I like that idea but would like to keep my rear seat. How easy is it to remove the box when not in use? Thanks!

[hchen]

nice nice....but too bad im always driving peopel around =P

[IsuZOOM]

I'd gladly give up the back seat for a bed, but.. the length is only 46" long, standard "single" or "twin" is 75" long!

Huh? They're talking putting a BED back there. I think they know how to fold the seats up.

[Dallas4u]

I don't understand why you need to resort to trying to be-little someone and call someone names to make yourself feel better.

My point was that they were talking about putting a bed just in the back... not laying a mattress or what have you across the back and across the front, folded down seats.

[Dallas4u]

Dude, you need to spend some time with a therapist.

Seriously. If you always assume things, take everything the wrong way, and fly off the handle as much as it looks like you do, then you can't be a very happy person. There are people that can help you.

[IsuZOOM]

Well, 75" is from the hatch to the steering wheel, so you're not getting a real mattress in there unless you take out the front seats too

Bob (sir)
Awesome I tell ya! Andy and I slept in the back of the VX a few weeks ago. I have NO clue how you can fit a 6'4" body in there. We ended up opening the back door and waking up looking like pretzels. It was very uncomfortable. I know the box gives you a flat surface, and up's the area about 10", and that right there has got to be a help. Please let us all know how it did on the Rubicon trail. Did it bounce around at all? Did the doors open at all? How did the VX do? Scratches? Trail breaks? Wish we coulda been with you!

Dang Bob,, you start a simple post, and Dallas turns it into a boxing ring LMAO

[Dallas4u]

Maybe I did fly off the handle, but I don't like being threatened. i apologize if I took SPAZZ's comment as being sarcastic (hence the ...wow... part of his post, but I don't understand how I am accused of taking it off topic.

Anyway, I've been thinking of removing the back seats as well and making some sort of storage for the rear... I just always seem to be put in a position where, right before decide to do it, I have to haul around a couple people back there. Maybe if I just ripped them out then I wouldn't be put in that position.

I was thinking the same thing.

HI Bob,
Did you get the axils off a junk VX or other Isuzu model?
What are Asian Hubs?
The Boot Kit is for the axil?
Do you need special tools to change an axil in the boonies?
Thanks, Roy
