I want my VX to look like this one. Does the one in the photo below have a lift on it?
Thanks!

Yeah, that one looks a lot like mine, except with the 18" rims. Looks like a 2-1/2" suspension lift (probably OME springs) with 33" tires - a fairly common lift configuration.
Here's what mine looks like:
Hi,
How do you fix the erroneous speedometer readings when you put on larger tires? Do you mentally adjust by a few mph? or is there an adapter for the speedometer?
thanks!

I offer an electronic RE-CALIBRATOR that can take care of the speedo issue. Email me as it is not on my site or see http://www.autotransinc.com/Recal.htm - I am the US Distributor for their Isuzu products.
I mentally adjust too - I use 10%, which matches what AlaskaVX said:
35 mph speedo = 38.5 mph actual
50 mph speedo = 55 mph actual
65 mph speedo = 71.5 mph actual
etc...
why would you want to fix it?!!! doesnt it clock the odometer slower?
