    You will most likely need to drop the VX off to a custom fabricator. I've been through a few different brushguard/lightbar designs already, and have ended up scraping a fair amount of tubing because I didn't like the way things were looking.
    My stuff won't be nearly as substantial as what you're looking for, but I'm focusing heavily on the look. The VX has a difficult profile to match properly, and I don't think that any off-the-shelf bar will just bolt on without looking out of place.

    I found a lot of inspiration in the forums' gallery. There's a couple of owners that have replaced their bumper tube with some 2" square stock, and that seems to be the smart way to start -because now you have something hefty to bolt up to.

    There is a bar on Tone Monday's site, that may be a starting point that you could add to. (weld on whatever configuration to the basic bar Tone offers)

    You'll need a custom fabbed bar. I'd suggest checking out green dragon's gallery pics.

    I find it a little odd that these guys building this are here in Austin and have yet to contact me nor responded to any emails I have sent them. VXKing?

    Hello,

    Cool... I was wondering if there were some other members of VehiCROSS.info here in Austin. I guess there are... Sorry if I haven't had time to peruse all the photo galleries, etc. to see who is in Austin and who isn't. Would be glad to show you our robot sometime... Send me an email and we'd be glad to show you what we've done... send me an email to "my first name" followed by the "at" sign, followed by the town we live in, which is "austin" followed by what we are building, which is a "robot", followed by a period, followed by the first three letters of the word "commercial". It's a bummer, but ever since we published our address in some online resources we've been getting hit by spam... that's the sad reality of the online world.

    Thanks,

    Jorge

    Hello mbeach,

    Thanks for the ideas and the detailed email... I did check out some of the photos in the member's gallery for inspiration. Keewwll!

    Hello Area 51,

    I checked out Green Dragon's gallery pics! Wow... I like Hell's Gate... holy crap!

    Thanks,

    Jorge

    Hell's gate was great! I did the first part of the obstacle bone stock!! The second part, where you see Bob coming back up, I may try again if i'm in the area again this year.. The only reason I didn;t last year was for fear of breaking a bead on the tires... The VX is Awesome!! Even stock!
