    I was just thinking that I would love to have CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) on the Vehicross. Its what the original Hummers used to air up & down tires with a push of a button from the cab. Really cool . You could probably get a VX CTIS system made $5k-10k.

    Well yeh, that's true...but you would eliminate the necessity of fabbing suspension...

    I have been throwing ideas around inside my head about putting a diesel in the VX if my motor even gives in, figured i would go with a N57D30T1. comes from the 2011- BMW X3 F25 X3 xDrive35d and 5 and 6 series.

    306 hp 460 lb-ft would go bad with a 6 speed behind it

    Should be fun taking it out 3 times a year (i.e. when it snows).

    You sound like a crazy person

    Money no object eh....

    Hmmm, ok, I would probably do something very similar to the Juke-R. But I wouldn't go "all out" like that. Something more responsible. Like, an ENTIRE drivetrain/electrical swap with an STi. Basically, an STi wearing a VX wig. Thinking a stage3 equivalent protune would give it all the hp/tq it needed. And funny enough, I know of a shop that would do it, were money not an issue. Place in Conn. Oh.... to dream....

    cmon jon, no imagination?... trailer it to the mountains and pass up all the guys on their snow mobiles. throw your boards and your buddies boards in the 'caskets', as i call em', and cruise up the back road passes.

    or...... it could be used for winter offroading
