In the words of George Takei, "OHHH, MYYYYY!!!!"


Seriously though.... this thread is making my Christmas card list grow smaller every few minutes

[RamAirZ]

lol, well here is my list for this week/weekend:

Today: Gave ol' Sylvia an oil change, rewired the trailer lights since the jacka$$ before me didn't know what he was doing (now they actually work), cleaned up the inside a tad, gave her a good wash (no wax though, ran out of time tonight), and put the passenger seat back in lol

This weekend: Meet up with Bob and Alo247 for an O-town VX meet and enjoy being able to relax for a few days in Orlando while my sister-in-law watches the kids back home lol. Maybe do a little offroading with some friends

Well, no can do. Looks like I will be sticking to the OEM calipers. For now at least. Without a spacer, guesstimated about 10-12mm, just not enough depth. My Enkeis have a 0 offset but that really has little to do with the clearance. Were the spokes more curved/concave, they would work. Was worth the try. At least I will be getting the slotted rotors, pads, and braided lines in.

Outward. Something similar to the Rota Grid Offroads, but those only come in 16's or 20's. 16's won't wrap the caliper and 20's are for for rap videos.

20's may have been in rap videoes, say, 10 years ago... now you'd have to be rollin' 24's to get that street cred...

I had to say this 'cuz I have 20's on my VX and they really don't look big at all. The VX's wheel wells are huge.

WormGod... what'cha gonna do with those calipers now that they won't work for ya?

Got my Apex stainless steel/kevlar/red brake lines in today!! Now I gotta find time to swap em. Also ordered an Aussie front locker for the wife's trooper RS. Once that thing gets delivered (the whole truck) , the VX will be in background for awhile. A new toy to play with!!!! Yippeee!!!!!!! Putting the trooper wide stance upper control arms and lower ball joints is first up on the list.

I cleaned those smoky scratched head lights and installed that PITA hitch tonight. But I'm proud of myself for saving all that money I would have paid some shop to do it. So proud infact I bought some Polk Audio component 6 & 1/2" speakers and I'm gonna get a small amp to push them after I move the Poineer 3 way 6&1/2" speakers to the back seat spots and wire it all up to the factory radio... for now. Maybe one day I'll have some money saved for a nice new touch screen unit... maybe. Next I get to wait for my springs to come in and then order some new rims and off road wheels.

Just so you know, that will require some modest modification, the rear factory mounts are 4.5". I have a set of Polk 4.5" speakers available from when I gutted my rear and went to 6x9s. 40 bucks shipped if you want them. They were back there a bit over a year, less than 5K miles

Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to try to figure out how to get these 6&1/2's mounted since they will handle a little bit of power from the speakers amp I want to put in.

I was just looking at the factory steel plate, I don't think there is enough room, to cut it out to fit a 6.5". You would have to fab a complete mounting spot on your own. As long as you can do some simple metal working, you should be fine.

That's the thread I had in mind when I decided to move mine to the back. I remembered someone had already done it and posted how to do it right.
