X2 on the bloody fangs. That is cool. Especially since my fav show right now is True Blood.![]()
Hi, I test drove one back in 99 and fell in love. But too expensive at the time.. Forgot about them over the years, and had other commitments. But finally bought one last week! 1999 model, black. It now resides in Ft. Wayne, IN

I bought my 01 Proton Yellow VX in May. Had seen a few around, and always admired them. Will be doing a lift eventually, and was hoping for some guidance from other VX owners. My other daily driver is a lifted and locked 93 YJ, so don't let other Jeep guys hassle you. It's nice to get in something that does 0-60 in under 15 minutes, doesn't leak when it rains, and you don't see 600 of every day on your way to work... I also know where there are 2 VX's being parted out in Denver. Thanks everyone!
Live, Love, Forgive and Never Give Up
Nice you got a Proton I wanted that color but I got Ebony one, it had low miles and I felt it was the one for me. I picked mine up in April, I had wanted one since they came out in 99 and now I finaly got one. I am interested in getting a few parts if you could email or PM me with the info on the VXs being parted out that would be great. I am in Denver so I could pick up and even pull the parts myself if I need to.
Well about a week ago I decided to go car shopping. I had found a lifted 04 Trailblazer I was going to buy. But last night decided to do one more web search to see if I missed anything. I came across a 2001 Proton Yellow VX on Auto Trader at a dealer ship a few miles away. I thought it looked pretty cool I had never seen one before. So after a further search I found a 99 Ebony one. With lower mileage and a bit cheaper. And a silver 99 about 3 hours away. But to me I think the Proton yellow makes the truck.
So tonight at 7:00 I find myself at the dealer driving it and signing the papers for it.
I also found this place last night and did some research and learned allot about them. Already have a long list of mods I want to do.
Hi folks! Just bought one, 1999 with unbelievable miles (180k) )). repainted from silver to black )), but almost complete (including spoiler and roof rack) and still runs, but overheats (head gasket?) Paid $2000, I think it's OK considering everything in Canada more expensive and even if I'd find one in States for 1000, it would be more than 2 grand when crossed the border...
Planning to restore/modify it.

Ranchero Welcome to the forum EH! Gald to see another Canadian on here.
I just bought a VehiCross, 1999 White. I have been sort of looking for one for awhile. I also have a Corvette convertable that I love very much. The only problem with VehiCross is that I haven't actually gotten it yet, I am waiting for it to be shipped. I was looking for an Amigo in the beginning but kind of feel in love with the styling of the VehiCross. I am hoping to get back into playing in mountains on the weekend. I have had a few 4X4's over the years, so far I think my favorite was a 1974 Land Cruiser. I am saying so far because I think I am really like this Isuzu. The vehicle that I bought has about 94K but needs a little TLC. The first thing I plan to do is clay bar the paint, use a cleaner wax and then put a nice high gloss shine on it. From there I will just have to see. Any suggestions about the timing belt? At 94,000 I am thinking that I should think about doing it soon.
