    Question Dallas & Anita??

    Hey, has anything happened yet with the sway bars, skid bar, and possibly sliders??? Haven't heard from ya in awhile Stinkbug. I will be in Arizona until the middle of January so I won't be able to check the website for this info until I get back.

    Dallas,

    Can you e-mail me pics and prices for these items?

    Thank you both for your time and committment to the VX.

    I have yet to set an appointment up with Dallas of Stinkyfab. Now that the holidays are over and things are somewhat settled down, I'll give Dallas a call this week.

    Since my Trooper was used to prototype the Stinkylinks, I figured I would give you my impressions.

    1. The links greatly improved handling on fast curves (freeway onramps) Since my trooper is fairly top heavy, I was really impressed with the reduced body lean and solid feel they gave my trooper. The R.E joints are much more solid than the stock rubber bushings thus giving the tighter feel.

    2. Vastly improved ground clearance. I bent my stock links constantly while off roading, especially when going over ledges like in Moab. The bent links offer at least an extra 3"- 4" of clearance.

    3. Improved articulation. The R.E. joints offer 22 1/2 degrees of movement. far greater than the stock rubber bushing.

    4. Beefier Matieral than stock. The steel tubing used is twice as thick as stock ones. Highly unlikely I will ever bend them.

    5. They look way cool!


    I think these would make a really cool mod for VX's, Let me know if you guys have any questions

    Question

    So do they help on normal/spirited driving? I never go off-road with mine and I am always looking for ways to improve the handling of the VX.

    EDIT: I just read Gilbert post... Gilbert can you tell me a little more on the street differences?

    Thanks,
    -Dave

    Sorry.. I will be on a plane to Cancun on the 10th... Besides, I am waaaaaay over here near Philadelphia.

    But, I will be in LA on the 26th for 10 days ... sans VX unfortunately.

    But maybe some generous VX owner in LA will allow me to go for a spin to check out some various mods.

    I saw a custom set of those before... fabricated right on the trail when a buddy of mine in his Pathfinder tried crawling over a rock that was too big for him... made a nice bend in his track bars... making for some GREAT clearance... of course, I was able to crawl over same said rock and not touch anything! I however would be intersted in a set of these when they are available. I look forward to seeing them available.

    Later!
