Check me if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the elongated front bumper/cladding/air dam indicate that this might be the Mooncraft VX?

There can be only one... I believe you are correct sir.

What it is more specifically is that when I used to have the old 16's on, the TOD would not light up (past one bar) unless it really was pushed (rain, sand, etc...). Now with the new 18's, when I am doing a little harder than normal acceleration in first or second gear, I will get three bars of TOD for a split second. I was wondering if that was normal...

[samneil2000]

Mine does it if I accelerate hard. Doesn't bother me but probably not normal. I usually don't accelerate hard anyways.

I painted my factory 16's this weekend.

Lifted w/ OME 912's and Daystar spacers in rear, torsion bar crank and differential drop in front
Tires are Definity Dakota 285/75's (33" OD)

Paint color is Gun Metal Grey Metallic. It's a GM color according to the can. Bought it at Autozone, along with adhesion promoter, primer, truck bed coating gritty black and clear coat sealer.

The truck bed coater gives it a nice rough texture and hides all the imperfections associated with painting in your driveway on a windy day! Put that down over the primer, and the paint coats over that and it works perfectly!!!



I'll have to get a picture of them in the sun, as the metal flakes make them a little lighter in direct light.

Those wheels are pretty sweet. I am concerned about your height. Do you wheel it? If so, you must only have about 3" of wheel travel in the front, GREATLY reducing offroad capability, especially without a front locker.

[Bob Barker]

Nah, I play in the dirt and mud when I can, but nothing serious. I have looked into the front ball joint flips and different bump stops, but I'll most likely not be doing anything real serious any time soon.

But I did find a nice set of Warn manual hubs that I hope fit in Planetisuzoo. Then at least if I get into anything real gnarly they will be the first, and cheapest, thing to snap. Like an inline fuse! I also wanted one of the super flexy IFS kits but can't afford one of those for what I do with the truck.

Wheels: Isuzu 16x7.5 Snowflakes
Tires: 255/70R16 Dunlop Radial Rover RVXT

The tires look pretty whitebread in this image but they're really sharp in person. The Snowflakes have a neutral offset, resulting in the whole unit sitting about an inch and a half proud of the wells. Much thanks to Riffraff for help in selecting them.

Snowflakes are nice, that is what I have in the garage for the wifes Trooper RS mudders. I now have 4 sets of wheels and tires to fit the 2 Zus....lol. Two sets of ATs, one set alright, the other set less than 1K miles. Two sets of mudders, my Kevlars and her treadwrights. Bring on the Zombie revolution!!!!

Looks great, I REALLY like the polished/brushed aluminum look on Foxfires...

Ball joint flip does not improve wheel travel, only facilitates alignment. As for the bumpstops, be careful, they are there for a reason. The protect the CV shaft from impacting the lower control arm, I believe Uncle SAS has a story about that.

The SFIFS only works if you lower the front back down. No sense in forcing 3-4" of wheel travel, that is a waste. When I installed mine, I moved back to near stock height with 34s. Minimal rubbing, and some minor pounding/cutoff wheel in the front.

I used to be like you with the cranked up front end. Crappy handling and crappy ride offroad. Without a locker, you just greatly reduced your performance since you a very likely to have a front tire off the gournd (rock crawling, if for mud, I suppose it doesn't matter). I love the look of it jacked up, but its kind of like having fancy skater shoes,they don't really help you at all, just make you look cool
