    Source for Isuzu 4BD1 or 4BD2 with manual trans and transfer case??

    I am still considering this but for my S10 instead. If I ever get around to it, I’ll probably just make an adapter plate to convert the 4b to a chevy bolt pattern and keep the transmission and t case that is in the S10 already

    PEX Sharkbite push on fittings or crimp

    I've seen stainless braid saw into aluminum and I've even seen plastic corrugated split loom wear a hole in an aluminum tube. It's best to just route and tie off the hoses as needed so they don't touch anything. I've even used rubber hose, zip ties and long pieces of little coil springs to pull...

    Composting Toilet Tips and Tricks

    Good info. I am planning on building my own because the natures head doesn't exactly fit where I want to put it. I was planning on a rounded bottom for the chamber so it's interesting to hear them say that it won't work like that. I wonder why exactly? I was planning a separate pee tank under...

    Rear Diff Lock for NPR?

    You would probably be better off posting this in the Isuzu/Fuso specific forum.

    Rear Diff Lock for NPR?

    That rear end is much stronger than anything you would find in a GM pickup. It is the same in the Isuzu and the GM versions. I would look into the stuff the Aussies do with them. There are at least some LSD offerings that I have seen.

    How Do You Mount Your Fire Extinguisher?

    NIce clean install! I have installed many on board systems in race cars and if I were you I would consider moving the nozzles lower down and out of harms way. If you rolled, they might get crushed where they are. Also closer to and pointing at the most likely ignition sources like the...

    How Do You Mount Your Fire Extinguisher?

    This style with the quick release pin is the best I have seen for a hand held bottle. Lots of track day guys use them in their cars.

    truck topper as a place to camp?

    This can be a really great setup when done right. Very cozy too. I would search around on here as there are quite a few threads about this.

    Colorado - full locking dif vs. auto locking dif

    It sounds like you should be fine with the Z71. Perhaps it’s the exact same differential? Just automatically controlled in the Z71.

    Canter 6X6 - Yes or No.

    Easy enough with the right axles but I would say it's overkill

    FUSO FE 140 -180 Gas 4X4 conversion pros and cons?

    There is a thread in the Japanese heavy truck section about one. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/took-the-v8-fuso-for-a-spin.198876/ I think it would be pretty straight forward as they use the GM V8s and an allison trans. Just add a transfer case and front axle.

    NPR 4wd conversion and camper build thread.

    I had to make some floor space for customer projects this winter so I set the camper box on the truck today. Once I get it titled and registered, I'll start daily driving it to work out the kinks but for now it will probably sit for the winter while I get caught up after taking a bunch of time...

    Dual purpose NPR 4x4 build

    I might have an interested buyer. He tried to buy mine. I’ll send him your way.

    FG shaking front end while braking

    I find it unlikely that a braking issue would come and go based on heading downhill. I also think you would feel the vibration in the pedal.

    An All-Aluminum 1.9L NA VW Diesel?

    Lots of expense for a lightweight NA diesel turd. I would never want an NA diesel.
