These are sweet

[FIEND]

If I remember correctly Dallas makes his parts in that wonderful shade of green only but who knows...if he builds it custom maybe you could sweet talk him into a custom color...LOL.

[StinkBug]

No no no, I only make my own parts in that oh so awful shade of green, and yours if you request it. Though technically I'm not supposed to paint anything in my shop so generally everything ships out in bare steel. I just painted the first links green to make em show up better in pics.

As for fitting the VX, according to the measurement Triathelete posted on the wire they are the same length as the trooper ones, so the straight links will definitely fit. I'm almost positive the bent High Clearance ones will fit as well, but a test fitting will be required to make sure there is nothing extra on the VX that would get in the way.

Thank you
Dallas Nunn

Stinkbug,

Are you located in S.D. or in Vista which I saw on your website? I'm in Pasadena so its not too long a journey should you want to check your product on a VX. You can post here or email me should you want to set up a meeting. Seems that there is a good deal of interest so Ill make my VX the guinea pig again....;Dr;

[Triathlete]

Your the best Anita!

[sveltax]

Let me know when you go down, I'd like to take my Axiom down for a test fit as well.

Hey StinkBug,

While you have Anita's VX can you measure up the front end and see what you can fabricate as far as a Skid Bar like the one Jaos makes. You had stated that you could make one for way cheaper than the $600 it sells for. I just didn't know anyone that could bring their VX to you for measurements. What do you think??

Is it okay with you Anita if he measures the front also?? Just thought we could take care of 2 issues at one time.

StinkBug let us know what a front skid bar would cost.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

If its cool with Dallas it is cool with me.

[VX_PA]

Now we just have to wait to hear from Dallas.

Anita, you rock It's tough to be the sacrificial lamb.

[StinkBug]

This weekend wont work for me, cause i'm gonna be out of town for the holidays, but after the 1st we should be able to get together just about any time. I have a spare Trooper link already made so test fitting it should only take a few minutes for the VX, and I should have one made for the rodeo/amigo by that time as well so we can check that one on the axiom to make sure they interchange.

If you've got the time to leave the VX for a couple hours I can see about fabbin up a skid bar as well.

A couple of questions:

Does the bend in the link limit upward travel at all?

I was also wondering if you could look at the VX for maybe making some rock sliders.

[Anita]

Dallas,

How about the 3rd then? Okay with you, Jeff?

[StinkBug]

No the bend doesn't interfere with suspension travel in either direction. On the troopers there is a body mount above the links so I designed the links to clear it. I'm betting the mount will be in the same spot on the VX but will have to check when Anita comes down. As for the sliders, I can make em for pretty much everything, just have to have a truck to build off of.

Yes the 3rd will work for me. If you wanna have me build you a set of links when you come down I'll have to order some bushings or RE joints before then so if thats the case just let me know. I can usually get all my suspension parts overnight from my supplier but with the holidays everything is a little tricky. Just let me know what you'd like to do.

Thanks
Dallas

I can testify to Dallas' work.. He is one of the best fabricators Ive seen in a long time.. Here's the tube fenders he made for me.. and I plan on going back to him for a full cage remake...
