VehiCROSS in Moab

[@weyrunner2838]

Mine is a 99. I take it to Matagorda beach in Texas. Walks the DRY, DEEP sand like it's a paved road, while 4x4 trucks are getting stuck, as they PRETEND not to notice this little TIME CAPSULE dum-diddy-dum-dum, right passed them! I also drive it from Bay City TX where I live, to Corpus Christi tX, where I work, weekly. Luv My Vehicross!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cheddabobcc9374]

is it white or silver? I live in cc and see one all the time.

[@rogermetzger7335]

First, thanks for making a video that allows us to hear the vehicle instead of using the "music" many video makers use. We drove a base model Trooper from 1989 to 1999 and a base model Wrangler from 1999 to 2008. We took those vehicles on Elephant Hill and the full length of Lockhart Basin, Bull Canyon and more than a dozen other routs in the Moab area. I think the VehiCROSS was intended for people who wanted the capability of the vehicles we had but wanted something that was different from the more utilitarian vehicles we had. (Someone once described the 80s Trooper as "agricultural".)

[@TheGTG333]

Though I did take that VehiCROSS on Moab's trails 2 years in a row while it was 100% stock, it received a few upgrades over the years. I had a small lift using OME springs in back & cranking the torsion bars in front to level it out. A Powervault cat-back exhaust paired with a K&N intake. Super Sliders. Extra skid plates. Just stuff to make it a little better, but it was great from the get go! I don't own it anymore, but wish I still did!

i think my favorite isuzu in design,i have a 2000 isuzu amigo hardtop 4x4 which i love too but the vehicross is jusg amazing.

[@Magaariel]

After watching the Isuzu vehicross in action,, my next car must be one of those,,!!

[@XXX-xw5mr]

Look this kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6HGpmyNlJicZqc

[@computerassociates7686]

from the 3:00 minute mark it almost seems like off-roading on Mars! Those things are amazing!

[@CubNole]

I withstood only 3 minutes of the camera men/women yelling into the fcking camera. Cool SUVs though

[@TheGTG333]

I was in 4 wheel low, and the VehiCROSS can handle anything a stock Wrangler can and then some. The section where I didn't want to give it the Moab bump was an angled approach, and I didn't want to risk rolling by gassing it. Lockers would help, but even with open front and limited slip rear diffs I did everything in that video including the hot tub & ledge. Jeeps are nice, but I love my VX.

[@joshquiroz]

GillT I thought with TOD activated and the rear LSD the rear wheels would easily move you past the obstacle without bumping? Is your LSD worn out?

[@CubNole]

I really want one.

[@Power5]

Torque sensing 4x4 is good on road. Need a rear locker at least for off road. All open diff 4x4 will spin only 2 wheels that have the least traction. I will be picking up one of these if available when my current lease vehicle is done. They have always been so quirky cool.

liar

[@bradh6185]

That thing was a beast.

[@hendragster]

Nice truck and very entertaining video!

[@pierrecastanets1974]

I always wanted one of these

[@thomascannone4254]

Would love to hang with these Vehicross.... Maybe my 13' LR2 can!??

[@florent9002]

Wow it's a very good vehicle

[@1satisfiedmind]

Hahah..I'm here because of your ad in FB Marketplace. I'm heading to the Rockies and I'm looking for an affordable suv to take with me. So far, it's down to a Montero, a Trooper and this.

[@TheGTG333]

I think the ad is from the 2nd owner. I had a blast owning the VehiCROSS, and might get another as an off road toy eventually. They are great trucks, but are rare, and deserve TOY status (not daily driver) in my humble opinion.

[@1satisfiedmind]

@@TheGTG333 Thanks, it's in North Carolina, where I am, but I'm moving to Colorado soon...and definitely looking for a toy. Drivers window doesn't go down and A/C doesn't work, and it now has 147k. it looks exactly like it did in the video, except they added two more rear window stickers in the back.

[@GoodNEvil713]

I miss my VehiCross!

[@crager34]

I miss mine and the vehicross.info family.

[@70CobraJet429]

This ALMOST makes me want to buy another VX just to use for off-roading. (I would never chance damaging my Proton.) Too bad I don't have the time. Maybe after I retire in a few years!

[@SupraSmart68]

Make time! After 6 years, have you retired yet?

[@Andrew-lk6wj]

Looking to buy one now, not much around and all around 200k miles, but the rarity paired with capability has me drooling

[@harryballsacky]

I'M GETTING MINE TOMORROW....SILVER. 238,000....$3600.00. GREAT SHAPE, INTERIOR ALMOST FLAWLESS, EXTERIOR CLEAR COAT FADE ON ROOF AND HOOD A LIL BIT...I DON'T CARE...BEACH TIME

[@wantvegas]

What rack and muffler do you have it? Looks and sounds great!

[@Atrazeal]

This is such an awesome vehicle. Looks awesome too I really like the grey mat along the entire base, like Otterbox designed a car. Reminds me of the Mini Beachcomber concept. Would be awesome to see a 2014 or15 VX. Better looking 4x4 than anything on the market today in my opinion followed close by the 2013 range rover.

[@ziedalaya6686]

i love isuzu

[@velocity800]

where do you get parts for your Vehicross?

[@TheGTG333]

I have not owned a VehiCROSS for a long time now. However, (depending on what you are looking for) a lot of parts are easy to come by. The V6 engine and transmission are common, and the parts for drivetrain, transmission, steering, and suspension are not usually hard to find. The VX shares some parts with ISUZU's Rodeo and Trooper, so used parts can be had there. Some parts (like cosmetic stuff) can be hard to find, but Facebook groups might help. Lastly, there are some companies that make aftermarket stuff for the VX. Good luck finding what you need.

[@bradh6185]

How hard is it to find parts?

[@TheGTG333]

I do not own a VehiCROSS at present, but am still in the know. I will tell you this. The VX is very rare, and while some parts are easily had, most are not. Body pieces are very rare, and even used ones are hard to come by because so few were produced. Do NOT get into a collision with your VehiCROSS!! There are certain things that were shared with other ISUZUs, but even those are getting harder to find in junkyards. Suspension and drivetrain bits are easily found, and you could always replace them with aftermarket bits if tho don't mind it not being 100% stock.

[@bradh6185]

@@TheGTG333 Thanks.

[@travisk5610]

@@TheGTG333 The thing I would be concerned about is windshields, I would assume they are nearly impossible to find.

[@TheGTG333]

@@travisk5610 You'd be surprised. Safelite has replace many VX windshields. I talked to a glass repair guy about hard to find glass like the back windows of a VehiCROSS or a Porsche 928, and he said they can do anything even customize stuff for hot rods or whatever. The main worry is body panels, lights, etc.

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

What mods?

[@broncosfan-dk1uj]

What wheels and tires do you have on?

[@TheGTG333]

15 " DICK CEPEK DC-1 wheels, but I can't remember the tires. I kept switching up until I settled on BFG All-Terrains. Pro Comp All-Terrains were good, but Pro Comp X-terrains (that looked cool) were only good in mud. They were no where near as good anywhere else (street, snow, rocks, etc.).

[@broncosfan-dk1uj]

GillT do you remember the size of the tires?

[@TheGTG333]

31/10.50R15

[@1991nightshade]

Gill makes me mad you should drive more often.

@@TheGTG333 Да не понимаю я! Хочешь что бы понял,пиши по русски!

[@jamestom2510]

how do these compare to a subaru forester?

[@TheGTG333]

The 4 door Forester (and all other Subarus except that 2 seater sports car that is 1/2 Toyota) are AWD car-based crossovers, but the 2 door VehiCROSS is a true 4WD truck, so they don't compare at all.

[@jafarkeshmiri2282]

👌👌👌👏👏👏👏😍😗😗😗

[@WhiteEightBall8]

Keep trying to convince my buddy to get a VX

[@SupraSmart68]

Did he?

[@Underdose]

i want one

[@_styrofoam]

VehiCROSS is so ugly that it's cool. Haha. I have a 99 trooper.

[@ohlolololololollol]

Looks cool, but it's never going to perform like a jeep.

[@raymondclark1785]

Had a co-worker tell me how tough his cj was but then bragged about it having Unimmog axles and a whole bunch of other mods. Wasn't much Jeep left in there :(

[@kylebyers8346]

Thing makes most Jeeps look like 💩

[@TheGTG333]

Thanks. Wish I still had it, and hope whomever has it now is enjoying some adventures!
