I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

You need to have a 99' Astral on there Bart, lol.
1999 Isuzu Vehicross-#1209- lots of mods - gone
1995 Honda Passport: Lifted, Locked, 34x10.50's, just a few things..-Click for build thread
Nice! I need to go to the yards around here and start scoring Zu parts
still sucks though, there's a zu fan somewhere that would have loved that amigo. lol
Alright, its coming together, got all the new ball joints in, OME919s are on their way from Australia, her tires showed up todayfrom treadwright. Not the prettiest things, but they are virtually identical in tread pattern to the BFG MTs. All 4 are on Dueler AT carcasses. They look nice as far as that goes, but you can definitely tell they are retreads. But for trail tires, and at that price, I am happy. Her blue tooth stereo came in yesterday, takes usb, sd cards, ipod, mini usb and is bluetooth phone ready, no stupid kit to add on. Under 100 bucks from Hong Kong via Ebay. I also have her rancho 9000s sitting here, the extra wheels, her sirius radio kit. Now all I need is the truck, hopefully will be done next weekend. I will post up pics when I have it in hand. Gotta get the MTs mounted tomorrow, the tires it comes with are dry rotted, so she will have to drive on the mudders till I get her new street tires. Gonna be busy once that thing shows up. I am gonna cut the rear end off, and probably rhino line here lower rockers and do my cladding at the same time, herculiner is doing a rebate right now, 20 bucks off the 1 gallon kit, which should be enough to my cladding and hers I hope.
Woohooo, I pick up the RS tomorrow...finally. He is also throwing a set of diff drops together for me to put on the VX. Joe Darlington is the man!!! I am also hitting up the big junk yard up there, so expect some more parts to pop up on my parts thread, looking for trooper drink holders, cv joints, dash bezels and anything else that catches my fancy.
I will post up some fresh before pics tomorrow evening, and some after pics sunday evening after lift and whatnot. I can't wait!!! New toy, it too is virgin, no mods except the sliders, locker, dif drop that I paid Joe to go ahead and do. Hmmmm, another cherry.
LOL, Joe will make a custom bumper with a winch mount for any ZU for 600 bucks. Add shackle mounts for 40 bucks. He keeps trying to get me to leave the VX with him so he can make me a real one. Then he can use mine as a template and we could produce a sweet VX bumper. His work is top notch, as those that have heard of Darlington Offroad know.
The blades are shot, gotta track down some replacements and find a sprayer nozzle.
I just got the little beast home. The guy in the shop said it reminded him of a scared cat Think of when it just begins to arch its back and leap into the air.
The lift came out nice, it was 13" from the bottom of the slider to the ground when I got it home, now it is a little over 16". The tires are two inches bigger than the street set, so 2" of lift from the OME919s and torsion bar crank. It may be a little high in the front, I will mess with it tomorrow. Runs like a champ, very rich, but to be expected since it hasn't been driven in several years. Fires up first try. Still have a lot of little stuff to do. More pics to follow.
Just finished some tinkering. I forgot I had the VX factory airbox with a new K&N drop in filter!! Fits perfect. Also swapped out old bulbs with silverstars. New floormats. The washer fluid resevoir is leaking, but the headlight wipers work!!!! Sweet. Everything else sems to work. The drivers door dome light switch is broken. Fix that tomorrow.
