    I would like to go, but coming from the Memphis TN area it would be a long long drive. If my VX made it there in one piece, that would be good. But to make it back home again after thrashing it in the rocks, spectacular. If I had a way to haul it there and back, it might be more doable. I have a friend with a rock crawler Toyota and a big diesel Chevy. We need to get a goose-neck and load them both up and I can chip in for fuel. Maybe next year...

    Handito,

    When we talk about lifting your VX, we mean new springs or spacers & torsion bar crank.

    Putting your VX on a rack in the garage is NOT what we had in mind.

    What's next, ya gonna put a new muffler on it by wrapping the whole VX in bubble wrap???

    Good to see you visiting again.

    Fly out Sam, (Denver, Albuquerque) a convoy can pick you up, there's always an empty seat for a fellow VXer! Heck ya can wheel mine some! This way, we KNOW you'll come next yr fo sho! We know T4B is coming next yr so you 2 can form a convoy!

    Ya! I'm not going to subject my VX to a drive like that either. I'll have a car trailer by next year to tow it behind the RV.

    First, thanks to all for the kind comments. It's nice to know others go thru withdrawal also this time of year.

    To Ldub, I admit sometimes I worry myself about me too. It just depends on which voice I'm hearing at the time.

    To T4B, I admit it really looks good lifted, not quite as high as it is now.
    Plus, your car trailer idea is super....we could put my Kaiser on the trailer and let the Proton tow it to Moab. Also knowing you didn't want to subject to the drive, I'd gladly give ya some relief driving.

    Gosh I'm already feeling better (not much, but a little).
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
