    My VX...a work in progress.

    So..after driving it around for about 6 months...I started to play with it.


    Lifted 3 inches , 33x11.50 Nitto Mud Grapplers.



    Brush Guard.."borrowed" from my wifes MercML320!!
    Sectioned 6 inches out of middele , re-welded and fabbed up mount to fit exsisting suports.

    Nice 'aggressive" look from the back...

    Morgan tech intake...and some paintwork.



    There are a couple more shots in my gallery.

    The Nitto Mud Grapplers are very trick looking...noyt 'too' noisy at speed either, not a thumping like Swampers..more a whine.
    The Brush guard "happened" by accident..after taking it off my wifes ML320 to repaint it...

    ...it 'accidently' got 6 inches chopped out of it and found its way onto my ride!
    I LOVE the look...

    Grill insert and side bars to follow

    Looks good! I'd do the caps in black though...personal preferance. Nice fabbing on the grill gaurd...looks like it was made for the VX. Now you need to get those tires off road to see if they work as good as they look! Moab in May?
