Hey all, new member here.

I actually don't have a VX yet, but am very interested in getting one and then doing a couple medium modifications to it. Before I jumped in with both feet, I wanted to run some of my ideas by you guys to see if it's even possible, and maybe even get some new suggestions I may not have thought of.

I'll leave out the stuff I know is possible like paint, tint, roof rack, etc. The 2 below are the big ones I'm unsure about.

#1: I'd like to buy some big tires for it, probably like 38" tires on 15" rims. Of course this is going to require a little modification of the wheel wells and a little bit of lifting. Has anyone tried a similar modification? Any suggestions on lift kits? Any foreseeable problems on expanding the wheel wells? Etc.

#2: Adding a brush guard to the front with a bank of lights that sits in the grill. I've seen some other posts about this, so I'm sure it's possible. Any recommendation on the best place to get a brush guard? Easiest one to install? Mounting of the light switch inside? Other thoughts / experiences?

#2a: Also toyed with the idea of a winch on the front, but some of the other posts I've see make it sound like more of a hassle than it's worth. Is this correct?

Finally, any other suggestions about what to look and/or watch out for when looking to purchase a VX is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the info, and I'm excited at the possibility of getting into the VX world!
