    I think the main reason no one has tried it here is most people are afraid to hack into a VX even though the frame is just a Trooper. Plenty of Trooper guys have done it, so in all reality, it's been done, just a different body on top. Other people don't have the money to pay someone to do it or the skill to do it themselves, and other's don't see a "need" for it with what they use their trucks for or get rid of them before getting to it. Ascinder's is coming along great and looking forward to the finished product as with Sam's here. I wouldn't say all questions are jealousy............

    I looked at this kind of build for my VX very seriously and went back and forth on the idea for quite a while. I couldn't bring myself to do it because IMHO the VX body simply does not lend itself to the concept of an adequate, usable, hard core, off road rig. I felt the end result would not have been worth the effort - for me - even if it was built correctly the first time... it's a rolling art piece.

    Call me jealous, but I have a question. What does this statement mean? "Questions will come until the cows come home, it's Jealousy..."

    Answers will leave until the cows leave home, it's Acuity...

    nice, good call. Didn't mean on this forum and wasn't really referring directly at your comment but more an overall consensus.

    Wrench Updates

    Here are the latest projects nearing completion. I got around to painting the roll bars, the dash panel and applying the red Durabak liner. It's amazinh how much warm weather makes this possible. I've also painted the roof liner, A pillar plastic, sun visors red (but those are still drying).
