Popular Post Backwoods Posted December 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2013 I bit the bullet and had the Vigo wrapped and lift kit and tires. I shopeed for a while and the wrap has impressed me so far! I am the only one I know of that has found or had camo done on a new truck over here, but this guy is great, and had the 6" lift kit put on in one day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backwoods Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thats an impressive lift. Me and wife are both short so it was the best possible way to go and she loves the way it handles too! Now time to go to Bangkok and scare the hell out of some of those motorcycle idiots that travel the wrong direction and think we should move! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post guzzi850m2 Posted December 7, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2013 I don't know what to say, in order to be diplomatic I can say: to each his own I guess . Must be hard to fill water in the front window washing tank & check oil and so on, you need a ladder. Can you explain why that is the way to go if you both are short? Must be a bitch to get in and out of the (mini monster) truck, he-he. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMac Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thing is, you can't really beat the floods in a bungalow. But looks cool, particularly the 4x4 on the side scares fishermen of I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwoods Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 ...nice wheels...how much for the lift? It was 132,000 for the 6' lift with rims, and Cooper tires 285/75/16. He can do up to a 10", I've got his info if you decide to check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 In the spirit of Christmas ... I'll be nice. Two questions Considering that it's a 4WD, you've spent a shiteload on customisation ... in your suburban jungle, where would you use it? How can you justify the expense? Surely you haven't bought the car and did the mods in case there is another once in 50 year flood in Bangkok? If it is for the floods ... raised exhaust outlet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the right not to personally like or agree with anything but a person has the right to decide how he wishes to spend his own money! Once again, OP, pretty nice looking mods! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemapoot Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Do you have a gun rack in the back ? I was thinking an exterior roll-bar in the back with some big spotlights mounted on top too.

I was thinking an exterior roll-bar in the back with some big spotlights mounted on top too. What the heck, you're never too old to enjoy yourself. Got a super lift cap on the back so roll bar is out. I have had something crazy on my 4X4's for 30 years now, its an obsession and tickles my fancy. I didn.t want just the same old sissy stripe or just hood wrapped, and tired of seeing fake carbon fiber. Can't put lights on the top as can't get in most parling lots now. and even some some small srett area that have one of those bars hanging!

Popular Post BSJ Posted December 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I like the gun rack idea....but my idea of the perfect gun wouldn't fit in the rack....and would be better mounted in the pick-up bed with the remote controller in the cab.

He doesn't owe me an explanation ... I'm just trying to understand his thinking. Never know when Tesco parking lot might flood or such! I don't drink anymore, don't smoke anymore, can't buy guns and fancy shooting stuff, but I love my 4X4's even if I lived downtown. The exaust hasn't been raised yet as I am working with someone to see if we can fit a removable extention. As far as ugly, everywhere we go people are throwing up the thumb. I really don't care what others think, I was trying to share, but seems most on here are critics. I got the Cooper tire for looks, same as all the jacked up trucks you see with mud tires! If you go to one of these off road shops you will see, they never have a rack empty, so I am not the only one spending money! All inall, I bought what I WANTED, decorated the way I WANTED, and I paid for it with MY money. Maybe some may be interested in the new limited edition of the Hello Kitty or or the new Spongebob to be offered, but camo is my forte, like it or not! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
