Hi Trakka, I posted the same question here a couple of years ago, there is a diagram in the Isuzu body builder manual but not much use if you have changed wheels etc, I got all sorts of answers, some as low as 50mm clearance, as I've had the ATW springs and alloys done I asked them and they said...

Hey RedDog, I also had trouble getting a peep out of ATW initially but once established it's been great since. There is not much these guys don't know or haven't seen tried with these trucks. Their flares were $350 from memory so similar to Kim's. Cheers Steve

Hi John, I've often wondered the same thing. When deciding I looked hard at both, drove both and spoke with a few of the camper builders. Without wishing to upset anyone, to me it was chalk and cheese, the Isuzu was stronger, had a flat frame, better finish and level of appointment and lots of...

Hi Owen, As far as I'm aware they have always had both, well the few years they have been selling them, haven't used mine in anger yet but have only read good reports about them, have also met some people who have successfully fitted Detroit lockers to the front of NPS so a few options, I...

John, ATW also offer a front locker for the NPS, it's a Qualife ATB from England, I paid $2800 fitted. Just another option for you. Cheers Steve

Thanks, have those already, might suck it and see for now, can always add later if a problem. Cheers Steve

Thanks Owen, I've done a bit of research and it appears possible with some of the modern primers and good surface prep, I have some offcuts so can do a test and see. The PE is easily damaged so need to protect it from flying stones, not worried about hitting boulders as much. Also thanks...

Hi All, My water tanks are built but need to add some protection from stones the wheels will kick up. Was going to add thin metal plates but am now thinking of a protective coating like Body Deadener or Raptor. Any thoughts? Cheers Steve

That's good news Cuddy, I was keen on Kym's setup initially but the non approval was a deal breaker. As per lots of choices with these trucks, it all a compromise. Cheers Steve

Hi John, Welcome to the journey! There are many opinions around on suspension/wheel choices for these trucks. I went with the ATW springs and Alloys and very happy so far. The comments from SSA about parabolics refer to OEM versions and can't be translated to the aftermarket ones like ATW, also...

Thanks Julian, for $50 I'll give it a crack. The fluke ones I've being eyeballing are heaps more than that.

Hi Brent, Understand your issue now, as Julian says- lots of info on the caravaners forum about the ways to do this, has been done to death. DC-DC charger seems a common solution. I've had to use converters for my 12v stuff as Redarc advised the voltage equaliser is not suitable to use with...

Hi Brent, Rapid Power is Brisbane make an upgraded alt for Isuzu's, has vacuum pump mount, look at their RP3 model, top shelf quality but not cheap, around $2k last time I asked. Instead of voltage reducers look at a voltage equaliser, redarc makes these as well, allows you to take 12v from a...

Hi tracka, I have a eurov nps which has a filter/water seperator as standard fit. The fleetguard part no for the element is FS19551, thanks to 4x4coaster, look at page2 of his build thread. specs say this is 10 micron, hope that helps. As Sifreak says, u would want to test to make sure your...

Thanks Ross, Will consider getting it if I take the truck O/S.

Thanks ross, dave is an aussie only addition I believe, the operation manual is also seperate to the truck owners manual, plenty of cars are also like this with their stereo's. Is the workshop manual available to purchase from Isuzu? Cheers steve

Thanks for the offer Ross, did you have any luck? The OEM harness is $100 so I could always get that and adapt other camera's to suit I guess.

Thanks Pete but that is just the same book that comes with it, shows you how to work it but nothing else. I can tell which plug is used but no idea on which pin for which, I know I'm probably clutching at straws. Cheers Steve

G'day All, The Oz Isuzu's have a neat all in one audio/video unit called "DAVE". It will accept up to 4 camera's, I'm wanting to install an after market camera or 2 if I can, the OEM one's with loom are about $500 each. There are a bunch of plugs on the back but none are obviously for the...

Totally agree, I've had our truck 2 years and all I have to show for it is a half completed subframe and a house full of ebay parcels :)
