Local 4x4 show
I signed Vicki up for a 4x4 show today, and just had to share.
The show was put on by a local Jeep dealership so I really signed the VX up more as a joke than anything else. I was only one of two non-domestic cars and the other Japanese car was a HIGHLY modified Suzuki Samurai. 90% of the other cars where Jeeps and almost all of them where modified in some way or another. They ended up putting me on the back row between two HUGE full sized trucks.
I always thought that the VX looked fairly chunky between the lift, the Grapplers and the roof rack with the full sized spare, but these two trucks made Vicki look like a little toy.
The VX was virtually invisible to everyone there. No one stopped to look at it or even point and scratch their heads. I think if they could have pushed it out of the way to look at the trucks next to it they would have. It was a fun day because there where some purpose built rock crawlers, as well as some modified Jeep's, that hit the articulation ramp and the rock garden that they had set up.
I think I found Ldub's new set-up...
