You're a punk! I decided I wasn't going to modify my suspension on my VX, and was going to be happy with stock. I don't wheel much, I just go camping, and generally am faced with simple dirt roads. I convinced myself I was happy aesthetically with the stock setup (just add some wheels). NOW I'M NOT!!
That is (in my opinion) the best looking VX I've ever seen. (no offense to anyone) That is totally my taste.
How long was the install start to finish?
I just finished putting a new turbo in my A4 so I could put it up for sale... Looks like the proceeds may be going to a full suspension upgrade for the VX. Damn-it...

Went back through your post... i'm confused... Is this only a ball joint flip, and torsion crank? Then Springs in the rear? And it looks this good? Killer...
And please give me reports on Ride quality, and MPGs (sure we're looking 12ish?)
Still can't get over how good that looks...

LOL, I used to think the same thing, and last night, I put my VX up on the 912s as well! I get new meats on Saturday morning, and then I have exactly 1 week to blast off to Moab!Originally Posted by taylorRichie
I can hardly contain myself.
(Thanks to CrnCnn and Ascinder for the help lifting yesterday)

Ryan, looks sweet. I just lifted last night, but all I did is the 912s in the rear and the torsion bar crank. I think the bump stops are a good idea. I might have to order a set. I didn't do the ball joint flip, most people say its not that important, but I will get new tires on Saturday and see if they have trouble aligning me...

PS - Come to Moab. Just do it. I'm super serial.
Super VXer
whats the purpose of the different bumpstops? is it for more articulation into the fender?
Super VXer
To LIMIT the amount of up travel in the suspension...bigger tires + more neg. offset = tire contact with the lip/inside of the fender well. ...

Yeah just like LDub said, on the rear the larger Bumpstop helps prevent tire rub from the larger tires and wider offset upon up travel of the wheels, and on the front the lower profile bumpstops increase the amount of down travel. Bumpstops on the rear make contact on up travel, bumpstops on front make contact on down travel.

Ryan,
Awesome job! That thing looks mean! And the last picture (on the grass) has to make the 2009 calendar for sure! Hope to see the Big Beast in person soon!

Those tires look like tank treads! Mean!!!

It's now the UltraBeast. It looks great. Those tires look super meaty and they look great on the VX. I know that there is already a lot of peer pressure, but if you can make it out to Moab you, Dub and JoFotoz could go Jeep hunting (I know I wouldn't mess with three gnarly looking VX's rolling down the road).
