    Dude that is sweet! And 6500 pounds doesn't seem that bad given all the accessories (I especially like the roof mounted light bar).

    lol, or he's just dyslectic

    check out ebay for the light pod, its bit of a cheep one ! Also, i think he may struggle at that price, its got standard suspension (although he states otherwise) and most of the things he lists are the standard spec of a VX. All it has of value is the front A bar, spot lamps wheels + Tyres and exhaust. There was a clean one with a gas conversion went for under £4k

    Whats the thing on the bonnet, as theres no cut out undernieth in the engine bay
    The induction kit is an old filter thats not fitted
    No proof of 240bhp (i would think 240 from a 185 N/A engine is impossible with a chip + filter)

    Plus he uses the word Jeep....

    Maybe im being a bit hard!! Its a rare colour here! and low mialage and if it sells at that price i might sell mine, lol

    Lol... clearly I didn't look close enough on the first pass. But even if the guy's a poser, it's a pretty sharp (albeit eccentric) truck.

    Crotch, I'll take a look at eBay and maybe post the link in this thread. Do you have a name for those roof lights? I'm thinking a "roof lights" search may turn up a few thousand hits...

    Never mind, apparently there were only 68 results for "roof light bar" and you're right Crotch, it's out there and listed as a Jeep (I'm thinking Liberty Renegade perhaps?) accessory:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Roof-Top-Light-4...d=p3286.c0.m14

    Current bid is $86 with a day remaining...

    Love the bull bar. Ive been looking for one like that over here, ill find one oneday but dont wanna pay the crazy prices some people put them up for like 300+ for a standard old bar.

    But otherwise the thing on the roof with the 4 lights in it is like what Castigan has on his vx!.

    It's a shame that lightbar is so flimsy, it looks better on the VX than it ever did on a liberty.

    Wonder if you could find hela or piaas that would fit the light brackets and then reinforce it a bit. The shape of it really looks good on the VX.

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe you could use a couple mighty mounts to secure it to the front rack bar? My main concern would be preventing it from flying off at speed (it mounts with body kit double stick tape doesn't it?) so anchoring it to the roof bar seems like the logical choice. Would just have to figure out how to do it in such a way as to still allow cargo boxes/racks to be attached to the bars.

    Things that make you go hmmm...

    I first became aware of this VX in early Oct of last Year when it was sold by a guy in Glasgow for £4500 on Ebay with 33Km on the clock. Then it was just a nice example of a stock VX, since then it seems to be blinged up by the current owner. Since it's purchase in Oct 08 it has done 24000 miles - that seems a lot in a year!

    If anyone's interested.
