    IIRC, the Trooper uses the same brackets as the VX so that won't show you where the notch is needed since your brackets are modified. Best bet is to get a measurement off of your pumpkin & make a notch before you paint it. It looks like all that's needed is a half moon notch in the roll over portion of the bracket about 2" above the bottom mounting bolt on that side. I'd suggest oversizing that notch in case you ever need to remove that bolt (I didn't & will probably eventually regret it).

    You can tell by the pic that I learnt it the hard way & just don't want you to have to use the grinder whilst tucked up under the VX like I did ... not fun ... & painful (glowing metal shards tend to be rather hot).

    Thanks Tom for the heads up on the trimming! I think I will have time to do the cv boots & the diff drop brackets this weekend. This will definitely make it quicker!!!

    Well I got it apart last night, got the brackets on. Doing all the cv boots now. Think I'm going to clean some parts up & paint some stuff to make it look a little nicer before I put it back together.
