103000 and climbing daily.
32000 pampered, rainfree, never in a parking lot, never driven by another human being, overwaxed, indoor storage, synthetic fluid, never used the wipers or squirter, never had the TOD do anything, gently driven, miles:bwgr: A bit sad isn't it.....but...it is still new
Daily driver & off road in Colorado & Moab summer after summer. 117,000
VX's don't need no stinking mod's.
But they're sure fun!
141,345 daily driver, seldom washed unless you count when it rains. Haven't had any major issues. Have had to replace the EGR, MAF, and two O2 sensors (it seemed major during those times when it wasn't running, but were easy fixes with the help of all you forum experts)
Thanks by the way!
99 vx with almost 89000
Both are nearing 50K.
96k and running strong w/ window problems Lol
A few miles from the 110K mark. When I flew out to Texas to buy her, she was at 23K miles. I drove from Texas to Florida in her that day. Best drive of my life!!!

I logged into this poll 2004 with 82K miles. She just rolled over 200K miles. (200,800) So far one tranny, one radiator, one set of brakes pads, one power steering hose, just replaced 1 set of Nittos T/G with a new set.....The worst component on the car is the aftermarket Pioneer AVIC-N-2 navigation unit...pretty much junk...Mobil 1 since new is the only special care she gets
well cant say it has been trouble free but just got through 260,000 kl although the TOD don't work 4L dont work and it is now running like someones pissed in my tank.
It still has the one main Vehicross feature working though.. I'm still hitting my head on the low roof when I get in!
Sorry guys, having a bad day when I wrote that.
Thing is I only got it a month ago and seem to be going from one expensive problem to another.
I do like the truck and will do my best to get it fully working again, hopefully without needing to selling the wife and kids, well the wife anyway..

Hi Fuddy Mucker,
This is the place you can get help for your problems. Check out ebay and get a vehicross workshop manual first. If your not familiar with mechanical stuff get it anyway for your mechanic. Also, much of the routine stuff are interchangable parts with with the Isuzu Trooper 2. 1998-2001. Parts are all over the place over here in the US, the UK may be somewhat problematic. But can't see why they wouldn't ship....New parts for this car can be very expensive and not worth the price. i.e. a complete transfer case new with sensors is probably over $2.000 and is available thru carparts.com for a low as $150...
A good source for major component parts is going to, http://car-parts.comuse pay pal. The TOD has 2 sensors off the rear of the transfer case (Hi and Lo)...not sure by your description "TOD doesn't work" is pretty vague...but I'd check the wiring off those sensors near especially near the exhaust pipe and make sure there secure and still attached to the sensors.
Not sure bout the "pissed in gas tank"..that's a good one Not exactly sure how you nail that diagnosis down with certainity, except maybe start the engine and go around to the back of the car, get down your knees and take a few wiffs off the tailpipe and see if it has that distinct steamy pee smell aroma
good luck anyway.

In 2007 I had 50,000 now in 2010 70,500 still running well. Still mostly stock but added a roof rack, tinted the windows (the 130 degree summers required it), replaced the god awful radio/CD, Put new rims on her and kept maintainance up to date. In the past I had the TOD sensor issue as well as a troublesome rear axle seal leak.
