Thank you, this is good info.

Yeah, the more I look at it and think about it, the rear subframe drop solves quite a few issues. I might order one from PRG or just just make my own. Rear diff I still want the R248. Same with the front, want the Patrol one. It's not that I don't think the factory rear diff or m205 would be...

Dude, if you bought all the parts I would install everything for free, don't worry about that. I love doing this type of stuff and actually wish I could do it for a living, unfortunately I make more in my current occupation :( The Air bags can certainly do an inch or two of lift. They are...

The "do it over again" is a tricky question because you learn a lot from the 1st time. Also it's possible your mindset will change. For this truck I basically wanted to be unique. I was looking for an R51 Pathfinder V8 originally because nobody does those, most are scared of IRS. When I learned...

Gained 5" of droop by changing the shocks, that's a huge improvement. In fact the shocks are still not maxed out, still 2" more travel at the shock remaining. If I do a rear subframe drop, that will allow the remaining shock travel to be used. I can remove the 2" coil spacers and have the...

Did the rear shocks today along with the airbags. Also rotated the tires. Haven't had time to drive it yet, but the airbags do lift the vehicle with the factory air height system. By the time I got done it was dark, and I have to tweek the alignment in the rear still before I drive it.

Tie rods (specifically the adjuster) are the weak part on Isuzu's, luckily they are cheap as dirt and take up almost no room.

Nice, I cant wait to make it to CO.

Very good job. I am still planning on mine. Do you have plans to use the space on the underside of the false floor? There is quite a bit of space as you mentioned. I was thinking the underside of the false floor might make a good subwoofer enclosure for like a 10" subwoofer, then again there is...

I know a Diesel Bison ZR2 owner I go wheeling with. He's had many problems with it. Missed a few trips because of it actually. Talking about getting rid of it. Good luck with that GM, you're going to need it.

Rear Kings and AirBags came in. Still waiting on Dobinson's Medium duty rear cool springs. They are coming from Australia.

Those side steps will get ripped off and probably cause bonus damage to the cab. They are damage multipliers. You should look into real rock sliders (without a stepped down step thing, all those do is get caught up on stuff). Normal rocksliders work perfectly fine as steps, but actually protect...

The power difference between the 1st and 2nd Gen is night and day. Even the Supercharged 1st gens are turds compared to the 4.0 and 5 Speed transmission from the 2nd gen.

Since you previously owned an overlanding company, I am really excited to see what comes of this.

Call Fat Bobs Garage (801) 395-2134 for the Kings. They can also get you the UCA's or pretty much anything else you need. From my experience they price match online prices at other places. Titan/1st gen Armada front diff will work, but make sure you get the right gear ratio, the rear diff on...

Sorry for this late reply, did not see the notification email. The King coilover in the Front, which were designed for a Y62 Patrol required some customizing of the res brackets that were provided. This is because the Patrol has slightly different coil bucket. Modification that was needed was...

Hi MmmBopThis, I believe you also contacted me on Facebook about this but I will go ahead and answer here too for future reference. I average between 11-13mpg with the 37's. If combined highway and town its like 11, but if long distance on the highway I can get 13. This is accounting for the...

Just read a little more into this thread. The fact that you are looking for 500k mile reliability but the Chevy and the Gladiator are even in your line of sight is a joke. Your odds of winning the lottery are 1000x better than getting a reliable vehicle from GM or Chrysler. If 500k is your...

Nissan Frontier. It's old, but it's rugged and reliable. The interior is very utilitarian which is good for it's intended purpose. The seats and driving position are very comfortable even for extended periods. The engine and transmission are best in it's class. The Nissan Frontier is the only...

Might work for VK56VD too, this is the VD coil
