In summer of 2002 I needed a new vehicle and started looking for anything with 4wd and stick shift. I wanted something with a fairly strong engine that would be fun to drive around town and go play in the woods with. In September, I found my future rodeo at the local isuzu dealer.

Basically I have lots of plans for the truck, and mods come along as soon as funds allow for it. I've come a long way from stock but really haven't spent all that much money.

In its current form I feel very confident tackling just about any trail I come across. Some time in the future, I'll do a straight axle swap. I have no idea when that might be happening, I'll probably need another vehicle to drive during the conversion.

Mods:
The front:
3" tbar lift
balljoint flip
low profile bumpstops
Warn manual hubs
Darlington 1.5" Differential Drop
Regeared to 5.38
Auburn Limited Slip Differential

The rear:

5.43s
Full spool
Spring over axle (about 6" lift)

Also:

2.5" gas tank lift
