These are sweet

[Triathlete]

Checking to see if these will work on the VX. They offer more clearance when offroading plus they are heavy duty. They are made by Stinkyfab.

I am sure Tone or someone out there can find the answer to this, and I think Triathlete is checking with the Manufacturer....

These are awesome. I want a pair and will order them if they fit.

Great find Triathlete~!!!

Here is what Dallas of Stinkyfab had to say...

Everything I have seen and heard tells me that they will work, though I have not actually tested them on a VX yet. If you can take a couple quick measurements from your truck and email em to me I can tell you for sure. Either that or maybe one of the SoCal VX guys could stop by for a test fitting. If they are different, and I can get a VX over here for a day I will make up a Jig for them as well.

I will get the measurements for him tomorrow!

That is good news for now.... Can't wait for the final okay!!!! This looks like a good inexpensive gift for myself!

NEWB here

what are they and what do they do?

[Moncha]

Those are replacements for the bars that you can see hanging down from about mid point going to the rear axle. They keep the rear end from mistracking. Basically, if you looked at a teeter totter from under ground the fulcrum point would be your driveshaft link and without the bars, the axle would be able to move in and out. Hope that makes sense.

BTW.. These would be GREAT!!!

[Apostle]

Moncha, not at all

teeter totter? ah well, if they help with makeing the V better, then im interested in them. watching for info

[NC_VX]

These guys said that if you were willing to lend them your VX for the day, they could check it all out and if they don't line up, they will custom make them...

So all you Southern Cal peep's, consider this and take one for the team!!!!

[Moncha]

Ok, how about this...

[Triathlete]

Apostle,
These bars are replacements for the already existing ones. The bend in them offers more clearence when off roading. With out track bars your @$$end would be all over the place (in laymens terms) They are also beefier and have a better joint which offers a little more flex.

They are located about an hour and a half or so away from me. I could go down there to let them measure it up but I wouldnt be able to go until after Christmas. Surely they wouldnt need it for very long....

Scott, I dunno if they make 'em in yellow.

Here's the official press release from Dallas at StinkyFab:

...and a reader-submitted install report from Gilbert on the self-same parts:

I can't imagine these will be any different on VXs. Maybe these will provide enough clearance so that I won't strand so many VXs on Kane Creek next year! (I blame the spotter, not the truck!)

Good to see ya Randii!!

I always have lots of Proton Paint on hand!!!

[Randii]

I was pretty surprised NOT to see Oso wearing a few pacthes of Proton... Then again, spray-painting members of your family may not be the best idea!
