Looking great and it will be well worth the time and effort when you are done.

I just saw an explorer today that is whole undercarriage was absolutely clean and thought to myself "That would be awesome to see someone do on a VX!" and what do you know, i scroll across this..... AMAZING JOB!!! Can't wait to see it all done!

Thats nice
My Jackadeo looked like that too.....then I got it running and found some mud
The answer is more power! What was the question?

How in the world... I can't believe I never saw this thread! Looks like you two are having a GREAT time!
Just a heads up regarding the Calmini sway bars... to my understanding the Calmini versions are rated against the Trooper sways and using them on a VX actually increases body roll. The VX reportedly uses larger diameter performance sways than what's in a Trooper. Perhaps Chris/Marlin could measure the RS versus VX sway bars - not sure if that would supply the answer or not, but maybe?
Keep on keepin on, but be safe - that teeter totter freaks me out!

I decided against the Calmini sway bars. I took my stock ones and had them powder coated and ordered some greasable sway bar links from Indy 4X. It has been a fun project made even more enjoyable that the wife will get out in the garage and turn wrenches with me.

Did some assembling this evening. I am hoping to have the rear end installed by tomorrow afternoon.
Putting the rearend together with new stainless brake lines from Indy4X...
Old and new rear bump stops...
The valve covers with new higher metallic coating...
A shame to cover all this work up, but at least it won't rust again...

I pulled the axles so I can have the dust shields replaced. I was shocked to see how beefy the axles are.
For those who have not seen them...

Man your VX is going to be so sweet when you're done!!

This is exactly what I would like to do to mine after she retires from DD duty.
Keep the pics coming.

Speaking of... I didn't realize you were only a few hours down the road from me. Maybe I could persuade you to do some of this (mostly just frame rails) to my VX as well...This is exactly what I would like to do to mine after she retires from DD duty.
Keep the pics coming.
Looking better every post!

We will have to meek up next time I am up that way. My mother-in-law lives in Cheaspeak bay area and we go up there fairly often.
