    there's been a quite a few here that had the insurance try to total their VX for fairly minor damage. Most insurance adjustors just don't want to have to search out some of the parts, but actually, our parts guru contact "Merlin" at St. Charles Motors in MO, has been able to get virtually every Isuzu part for the VX, some have to come from Japan, and can take a few weeks to arrive. But most insurance or repair shops don't know how to do this! So get involved and help them get the parts.
    I even sold a used part to a repair shop to help fix an owner here's VX.

    Some have prevailed and some not. But do a search on "totalled" or "insurance" and look for the threads. Many have been able to buy back the VX from the insurance company, then get it fixed or some sell it for parts.

    Good luck! Lots of advise, info and help here!

    jag seats

I don't know about the US model, but the JDM one that I have has very narrow seats and about 1/4 inch of padding over the frame. The frame actually bruises my thigh, and as I often spend 8 to 10 hours a day driving I want something I can relax into. My 1988 jag has leather seats that beat most armchairs into a cocked hat, so I'm hoping that I can fit leather front seats ( probably from an XJS ). If anyone has any experience of something like this I'd love to hear from them.

    Thanks Kat,I see you've been parting,have been wondering if there's enough demand to make it profitable after time/ effort involved,and if there's enough demand to warrant,or if we'll try to store/ fix@ later time.Cost of buyback will have an effect on our decision of course.I'm having trouble posting on here,otherwise i'd post it in salvage/for sale.If anyone is interested please e-mail me @ Adrenafix@hotmail.com and i can send pics or call me @ 607-744-0035 or 813-295-4997 The truck is located in Endicott NY...Thanks!

    Maybe ask some of the guys that have done a part out for the time/effort part. I can think of "etfren" and "vxfocus" right off the top of my head.

    Jimonskye...you may want to look into suspension seats. Very comfortable and built for offroad use. There are several companies that make them.
