    As I said earlier I looked forward to the brawl until the snow melted, well it is gone and thanks for the entertainment, but it is getting a little repetitive. I expect more moving forward, otherwise I will be forced to go outside and do house work, so I am counting on you guys and gals stepping it up.

    Let me stir the kettle.

    I too believe the author of the original article is referring to the license plate as being fake.

    I believe the original poster of this thread is implying the possibility of knock off VX's existing due to the incredulous piracy practices of the Chinese.

    Based on the original plans by Isuzu to produce the ceramic dies, thus allowing quicker production of the stamping dies, and thus limiting the production run of the vx, I seriously doubt that any vx's were ever built in china.

    I believe this is simply a vx imported to china from the us, with a fake license plate.

    No go out there and started beating each other up some more because the snow is gone but it is still cold out there.

    Wow. Guess maybe I should just go outside and clean the truck. I'll save that link for a rainy day.

    Thanks - Mike.

    Why believe this:

    The VehiCROSS was manufactured from 1997 until 2001. It was produced on two locations: by Isuzu in Fujisawa in Japan, and by Qingling Motors in Chongqing, China ... Qingling Motors (wiki, website) makes various Isuzu vehicles for the Chinese market, including light trucks and several SUV’s. Isuzu has a 20% stake in the company. The VehiCROSS was assembled from kits coming from Japan (CKD).

    When they also said this:

    In Japan Isuzu manufactured 5958 examples. 4153 went to the U.S. and 1805 stayed in Japan. The rest of the world got nothing, except for China, that is.

    I guess our brethren in England, Australia, Russia, Canada, etc bought stolen ones on the black market???

    Damn you Tri! This stuff is gold and a serious time suck! How did I ever get through the '00's without ever hearing about Charlie Wenzel???
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    I got caught up in this Pirate thread a couple months ago. It starts getting really good around page 6.

    I followed the Wenzel follies as it happened. The server took such a huge load over that weekend that it shut down. It was epic

    AFWIW T-bag, they were talking about the whole truck, NOT just the licence plate.

    And to be frank, I feel kinda honored that it took two weeks for him to call me a D-bag...that shows that there was no small amount of thought that went into the attempt... . I appreciate that kind of thoughtfulness & effort.
    As far as when the whole truck or license plate was being discussed, you (along with a few other people here) really need to work on your reading comprehension skills before you jump into these threads as you do, because whether you want to admit it or not, it's STILL you "holding the spoon" on that overall misinterpretation.

    So the only thing you've verified here once again is your D'bag status.

    If only you'd also been correct about who was "holding the spoon".

    Easiest way to find out the plant of manufacture:

    My truck was made @ the Fujisawa plant.
