Yeah, well, I'm jealous cause you have a Foxfire. IMO, there is nothing cooler than a black VX, but a Foxfire is a close second for me. It's the rarest color too! And I have to say, I have taken a liking to the Protons, and I never thought I would, yeller just ain't my thing, but they just look so cool under the Moab sun...Originally Posted by VX KAT

LOL, sorry man, but actually it was Biju's Proton that blew me away in Moab 2007. Not only was it a lifted Proton VX under the perfect Moab sun, but he put so much work into making that thing ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. He did so much beautification and his audio mod was simply top notch. I really have no idea how he parted with it. It was seeing his VX that actually planted the seed of one day restoring mine to as good as I can get it."And I have to say, I have taken a liking to the Protons, and I never thought I would, yeller just ain't my thing, but they just look so cool under the Moab sun..."

i've actually been thinking this considering the cost of the VX lately...
been thinking about getting ahold of an ironman for the "girlfriend to drive when weather is bad" thing lol....
keep the ironman stock and prestine and completely transform mine into what i want...
go to town with flat black on it and get the calmini lift with 3" body from indy4x....then put some 35's on it with stric9 front, rear, and sliders...have someone build me a kenny skid plate and then finish it off with lockers....

You know, I was originally thinking a 2nd VX as well. But what got me thinking about an old Trooper, is that I really want something that can fit at least 4 people, so when I have family or friends come out there are no space problems, and I would also like something that I can slide into a tree on a trail, and just shrug off. I won't be able to swallow serious damage if it is a VX. Plus, with an old Trooper, I can go to town with flat desert khaki spray paint, carve out the wheel wells for big rubber, maybe chop the top and make a tube frame with a rag top, take the doors off, you know, really give my neighbors something to complain about.
EDIT: Plus, an old Trooper can be had for under $3000 in good working order!

ya, thats interesting viewpoint for sure...i can see where you are coming from on that...
the 4 door thing isnt an issue for me because my gf has a 4 door corolla (it is actually bigger than you think on the inside, im 6'2" 215 and i fit with no problem)
she REALLY wants a VX (although she wants to paint it pink) and im thinking it could be fun to have a collectors VX and an offroad VX...
the banging it up thing i can agree with though...i would hate to have my VX all banged up...but if it was offroad oriented and painted flat black...eventually i would just make an exo-skeleton on it to keep the glass in one peice (as much as possible)....
i dunno, im just getting to the point where its like, either i sell it now and get what i can out of it or i just make it into what i want.....

Well, there are enough VXes out there that it wouldn't be so bad to have one to bash around in. Hell, my VX is loaded with tree scratches, dents, rock chips, etc. So, I haven't exactly been too careful offroad as it is. I just really want something that I REALLY don't care about.
