Quote HistoryQuoted: fix windshield. Then woodland camo. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 1999 isuzu vehicross. 167k miles, but runs and drives great. The ride is rough as fuck, but all of these do. They're actually built on a Trooper frame. I bought it from a buddy who's hard up for money. His ex took a 9 iron to the windshield, so it needs replaced and will also need a starter soon too. Leather interior is about a 7/10. Should I get it painted, or maybe get it rhino-lined? https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/423847/20201024_124059_jpg-1651699.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/423847/20201024_124154_jpg-1651700.JPG fix windshield. Then woodland camo. This! Lift if possible. Those were always strangely interesting little rides to me. Evidently some people do offroad them a bit, I think I saw them on TFL once on one of their drives. |

Those can be sweet trail rigs. I would rhino line the plastics, see if you can restore the paint a bit. Put 35's on it.
Just make sure to get Method wheels rather than Fuel....

I am laughing out loud. Vehicross. Can't remember the last time I saw one.
In my dealership past in about 2003, my used car manager made a old age wholesale package trade with another dealer. In that mix of vehicles was a Vehicross. I questioned his parentage and skills as in "why the F*** would you take THAT?" It was retail red and clean so I put it right out front on the used car point just because. IIRC, it sold in 3 days for a large profit. Just goes to show. |

I doubt that anyone could find a better vehicle for a grand. I call it a beater, but with a little TLC it could be a sweet, albeit weird, ride. |

Does anyone else have an almost irresistible urge to run to nearest Vatozone and buy a can of Mothers Back-to-black when they see a car like this? Those shitty GM pickups with all the plastic are the worst. |

If you decide to use Rinoliner I would recommend Monstaliner. I used Monstaliner on my beater FJ60 and I am really happy with it. Easy to use and you can do it yourself.

my first thought was tiger stripe on the bias.
After looking some more, this is the plan: paint it slate gray, seagull the doors, put some aircraft markings on it, and maybe some fake vents. do it Quoted: Buy this immediately for the love of god https://adamspolishes.com/collections/ceramic-trim-coating-kit/products/ceramic-black-trim-restorer?variant=30207961858145 I've spent hundreds on kits, washes, paints, what have you. Nothing 'restores' black plastic on autos longer than a single summer. Does this stuff actually work? |

If you decide to sell it, ill take it right NOW!
I have been hunting for one for a shop/promo vehicle for about a year. I owned one for 5 years from 1999-2004, it was a beast. Oil changes and fuel was all it took to get to 120k. Keep in mind, this carried myself and my friends through 4 crazy years of college |
