Description:
Hello I’m Scott from Denver, Colorado US of A. I’ve had my 1999 Isuzu VehiCross since 2012. Currently has about 190k miles on it with a slightly fresher 145k engine in it. It has been highly modified over the years I’ve owned it. It got to me in very worn and neglected condition so I immediately swapped out the slipping 4L30 auto trans for an AR-5 five speed manual, had the body painted and coated all the body cladding with Line-X bedliner. I pulled out the back seat which is all but useless in the VX and then put on bigger tires. Since then the modifications have just kept a coming. I removed the TOD transfer case in favor of a manual 2H, 4H, 4L TC with 3:1 gears installed giving me about a 55:1 crawl ratio. I went from the stock 29” tires to 31”s then 33”s and now she sits on 35”ers. Installed a custom storage box that fills the foot area in the back and provides a flat floor from behind the driver’s seat to the back door. The most recent mod I’ve done is to cut open the back door and weld in a structure to allow for a oversized spare tire to be mounted. Living in Denver I have access to plenty of mountain trails of varying levels of difficulty. I also travel to Moab, Utah once a year to join up with likeminded Isuzu nuts.
