That's OK PK, just don't be talking about her rack!

Hahahahah - no worries Sue.

You will always be the "Queen of Racks" on this forum.

Mine is a full driveline swap - 5.3L CSB (iron), Turbo 400 transmission, Dana 300 transfer case, going to Dana 44 Scout solid axles, ARB's, alloy shafts, new rotors & discs. Only a couple more months (years?) of work left. Once we got the rear tires mounted (37" Wrangler MT/R), had to lengthen the trailing links. So geometry is getting reworked now.

Hi all,

My name is AJ, I jumped throw A LOT of hoops (it's worth it ) and I am officially a owner of a VX with BC Canada plate on it. Going to have a customize plate soon.

Just want to say hi to everybody here.

HI AJ, Welcome. I am new as well joined 2 weeks ago and bought my VX 1 month ago. Hope you like it as much as I do. I still enjoy just staring at my truck....Chris. (Ebenezr)

What's up my new fam? I'm Mike, and I'm in the ATX. Tomorrow I'll be taking possession of a '99 Ebony black VX w/some pretty decent mileage. When I finish modding my other car, I'll be working on this one. I have some pretty interesting ideas of what I'd like to do. I've found a wealth of information on this board, and I'll be contributing as I get involved w/my projects.

Welcome Mike!

Lots of great fam down in Austin and I'm there at least once a month.

[eternal21]

Rock on!

Picked it up today! The good:
1) ONE OWNER VEHICLE. The person that I got it from was the original owner!
2) THEY HAD ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS! Every fluid change, every tire replacement, everything. I was a bit wary of the windows, but @ 53k, they had the window regulators and run channels replaced! The receipts right here. They even have the PDI report and the window sticker!
3) No accidents. Ever.
4) Seats not torn

The bad:
1) Idles kinda high. I'll take a look at that tomorrow.
2) Condensation in the front head- and fog lights. Not a biggie as I am going to bake them apart to install HIDs in the headlights, and I intend the replace the bumper fogs w/some Hellas modded w/HIDs, as well.
3) 6 disc changer doesn't work. Not a biggie as I'm planning on installing a CarPC @ some point.

That's about it. I'm pretty pleased w/the purchase and the mileage (82k).

Welcome aboard eternal! A VX with all service records and one owner...truely a rarity! You might want to check out the "VX KAT Questionnaire" we put together a few months ago as it covers many issues that are common to the VX (like the CD player crapping out), I realize you have the VX now, but it will give you many issues to check out on your new toy.

After reading 18 months of posts by the previous owner of my VX complaining about high and erratic idling, it turned out to be a leaking gasket. Not sure if it was intake gasket or head gasket, but it costs quite a few bucks to replace those because of the labor involved. Might consider the timing belt and water pump at the same time to save on labor costs. Just a thought.

Thanks for the information. Yup, ERR3, *lol* Glad I'm planning on changing that out *lol*

Thanks for the tip, Sam. The previous owner told me that it just started, so they replaced the TPS sensor yesterday, right before I picked it up. I'm a DIYer, so I don't mind getting my hands dirty. If it's a gasket issue, I'll knock them out myself.

Where does it usually idle?

Spec is 750.

My Name is James and I just bought a 1999 VehiCross in Dallas and my best friend is probably gonna drive it out to LA for me.

I am very excited. My brother in Dallas handled the deal for me and as a result is now a dedicated VehiCross enthusiast. Which makes me even more excited about the VehiCle because he's a car freak.

So another week or so with the Wrangler and then it's VehiCross heaven.

[Mile High VX]

Welcome James.

Have fun with your VX. I've had mine about 10 months and this site has great guys/gals that are helpful, informative, and a bit certifiable...
