What are you doing to your VX this week?

[Mile High VX]

Looks good!

I'm going to install my Energy Suspension greasable sway bar bushings this weekend.

I replaced the faded and peeling B-pillar VehiCROSS emblems and one of the 3.5L emblems.

Was going to just do the letters that were peeling(athe V and the R in my case) but after seeing how faded the others were I just replaced the entire emblems.

Was a bit concerned to do it, but did not want to give the bodyshop $150 to do it. With lots of help and encouragement from the VX family I got it done with no problems.

Really great to have others to give good advice and encouragement.

Installed the front skid that Rowhard made. It is sweet. Thanks John.

I also installed the Trooper T-case skid plate that I got from VX KAT. I painted it red and the bolt heads too. Looking sweet under the VX.

I didn't get finished until after dark so I'll post some pics tomorrow.

My LED undercarriage lights came in, in yellow of course. Pretty sweet kit, absolutely no spotting, control box was solid as well. I RTVed all the caps and wiring penetrations to prevent any mud/water problems. If I ever get my VX back, I can install them. I will also be soda blasting the undercarriage and finally putting the rust problem to bed.

I was busy this weekend cleaning and polishing my new chrome wheels and coating the Yoko Parada Spec-X's with protectant so they stay nice and soft for Spring. Gotta have about 46 coats of wax on the rims by now. Also started installing the rear door 'popper' so it's easier to enter back there. I'm gonna be adding LED driving lites in place of the puney little white round glow lites up front probably next weekend or so. Stuff can keep one busy.

I managed to break 5 out of 6 studs holding one of the rear wheels on. No, I'm not quite sure how either as I'm pretty anal about having them correctly torqued and then checking them a few miles later.

Still, no harm done (physically) to either me or the VX although the "what if"s are a bit more worrying as it happened at a steady 50mph on an arrow-straight piece or road about 3 miles from home and at the end of a 120 mile round trip.

Next weekend will be changing all 12 rear studs...

Trading it for a 1954 chevy Travalall...the wrecked Denali donor vehicle....and trailer they both are on. The Travelall (Suburban) is RUST FREE and I got it to run after a couple hours. I'd be an idiot to turn down the offer....he wants 19k cash....but his kid is smitten with 0177.....tough one!

Risked hypothermia today and changed the 6 offending studs so she's now roadworthy again!

Woot!

Today I got a new muffler and tailpipe. I've been messin' with the back half of the exhaust for a couple years now. I'm not happy with the quality of the mufflers I got at Monro Muffler and now I needed a new tailpipe. I actually wanted a whole new system from the manifolds to the tip and was willing to drop $1000 to do it.

I went to J&V Muffler and told the guy I wanted to replace everything and be done with it for years to come. He looked at it and said everything upstream of the Y looked great and there's no need to replace anything. A new muffler, a custom bent stainless tailpipe, and a polished tip would do it. $345 out the door.

They did a great job! It's so quiet now!

The welded-on tip-


The welded-on custom bent stainless steel tailpipe-


The custom front hanger so it'll never bang on the crossmember again-


The whole very quiet, perfect size, muffler-
