I can't believe no one bid against me on the fuel pump! Brand new OEM fuel pump still in original packing. I got it for less than 50 bucks shipped. They list at 375 on isuzu parts. It is the entire assembly, hangar and all. Just drop it in and hook it up.

I also got a vx alternator for 25 bucks from sleveritt. Good parts deals for me, my frankenstein stockpile keeps getting larger....

$147.64 including shipping... that price is RIDICULOUS.

This ebay seller has just gotten in a VX that was hit in the front if anyone needs some parts give them a quick note or call 800-735-2376.

This is the same seller that has the arm rest in the post above by VX KAT, so prices may be a bit high, but you all negotiate well anyway...

Yeah!! I only paid $70 new from Merlin. He's a new VX parts seller so maybe he'll see his prices are a bit too high and get reasonable over time.......or not....

Somebody really should go buy all this stuff just for the rear door. Looks like he's got the entire rear door, front bumper (not cladding), steering wheel and column (any overseas members want it?), stock air box, rear cargo mat, etc.

I bought one of those Rodeo fog switches from that guy on eBay earlier this year.
...
However, it is NOT a direct fit for our dash or the triple switch bezel. It's for a '98+ Rodeo and we need a '97 or earlier, but they never had a fog switch at that time.

Our switches have a notch in the upper left corner and our dash and bezel have plastic in that corner. The Rodeo switch is square in that corner. I cut out the corner plastic in the bezel to test fit and it still was not quite right. It just did not fit 100% snug and I think the depth or something was not right also. It didn't sit the same way as other VX switches. I was not happy with it at all. Some may find it to be okay, but I wanted something with a perfect fit like our VX switches.

Just wanted to revisit this quick... I just mounted an '04 Axiom fog switch in the fuzzy bezel with no problem. Did take several minutes of Dremel work however, and since it's a tight fit the back of the bezel looks like it went through a meat grinder. On the other hand the switch sits perfectly flush with the blank/tailgate switches, does not move when depressed, and you can't see any of the Dremel carnage from the front.

I found that you need to cut the corner piece but also grind down the plastic "lip" that adjoins the corner. Shaving that piece down just a hair (maybe 1 mm) allows the metal retaining clip to slide all the way through and lock.

So for anybody worried about making these switches fit, don't be!

I am not sure what this is all about, I just went out to the truck, popped out a blank, and the switch went in just fine? I am thinking of removing the useless blinking red light and adding this switch in that location. Not sure what I am gonna hook up though, maybe roof lights?

[vt_maverick]

Maybe you were willing to jam it in there harder than I was.
