It's not what you think!
Kathy and I have been giving some pretty serious thought to the idea of maybe selling the VehiCROSS - and NO, despite my reputation, this ISN'T an April Fools!
Before buying it, the following were replaced:
--the gauge cluster
--the speed sensor
Since getting it, we've replaced/installed:
--the tires (255/70/R16 Bridgestone A/T REVOs)
--the steering recirculation/cooler line
--the fluids (all of them), plus a new transmission filter
--the mufler
--the intake manafold gaskets (OEM)
--the shocks (twice: RS-9000Xs & Gabriel Ultras)
--the ball joints (OEM, upper & lower)
--the brake rotors and pads (OEM, front & rear)
--the front wheel bearings (OEM, inner & outer), plus new seals
--the speed sensor (again)
--Inependent4x heavy-duty tie rods
--Energy Suspensions' poly sway bushings (front & rear)
Not yet installed, I also have:
--two new OEM transmission cooler lines
--a used steering box
Plus, I have:
--the original gauge cluster
--a spare Power/Winter button
--the OEM shocks
--the Rancho 9000Xs
If installing the above steering box (and re-installing either the Ranchos or the OEM shocks) doesn't finally get it handling like I think it should - and if I can't soon figure out why the spedometer still doesn't work - there's about a 99% chance that we're going to let it go... hopefully to a good home - one where someone would be willing to keep trying until they discovered whatever it is that I've missed.
SOOOOOOO - with about $1800+ in parts already installed, plus a set of 'almost new' tires with roughly 3000 miles on them... about what is a 114/115K mile (estimated) VehiCROSS worth these days, anyhow?
Trust me; I honestly wish this was an April Fools <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
