I am going to start collecting parts to make the VX trail ready! I hope to have her ready for her first trip to Gilbert, MN in late May
Here's what I am looking at (UPDATE 3/12/12):
1. 285/65R18 Nitto Trail Grapplers - ordered - going to use the stock rims for now. (still working on fitment) They seem to be in pretty good shape and the current tires are holding air like champs. I am still looking for rims I like, but it isn't my top priority.
2. SS Braided Brake Lines & a replacement set of CV boots (just to have on hand) from Independent4x4 or EMPI
3. OME 913s - ordered
4. Rancho RS9000XL F&R - IN my Possession!
Things I want but are not going to happen in the next few months:
- Rowhard skid panels F&R
- Belly Skid plates
Reminder, the VX will not be my normal trail rig as the Jeep is my off road baby (less expensive and more readily available parts). I want the VX to be capable, but she will mostly be my "mall crawler" (aka "tar baby")
I am open to suggestions, so if there is something important I am missing let me know. Otherwise, I hope this plan comes together!
PS - Duluth got another 10+ inches of snow today and I STILL haven't taken the VX out to play in it
