Interesting slide on pod camper, how much do they weigh loaded with water? Is that one of the Austral units? Single cab, so I'm guessing a 4.2m tray? You're game running around with the rear legs attached. So easy to get caught up when doing a U turn in a tight place. My mate didn't rip one...

In general I agree with you, however we are in a situation where even the slightest movement, which one can see as the lady steps onto the steps, is unacceptable. We now require absolute steadiness of the steps into the camper, and before you ask, we have solved the issue of getting into the...

Steps into a high mounted camper need to be very stable the higher you go. Once over a certain height and if the steps are not standing on the ground, then sturdiness becomes paramount and harder to attain. We thought about doing something freestanding, as in, not touching the ground. However...

DzIToy, I Just had a thought after reading your take on Isuzu NPR/NPS wheel travel, presumably from an American perspective. All Terrain Warriors (ATW), essentially take an everything approach, which you can have, or you can have a restricted approach. In 2019, which is when we started talking...

No we don't have air bags, they restrict articulation and as a result you get wheels hanging in the air way before you could if you didn't have air bags. The 600mm of articulation is this: the top of the tyre rises somewhere between 280mm to 300mm and the bottom of the tyre drops the same from...

As someone who has fitted air an bag kit to a light commercial vehicle, (Isuzu D-Max cab chassis with a tray at the rear) then used it for the last 14 years; it may or may not be ideal. I have actually crawled underneath that truck shown in that video, impressive bit of gear, as is the price...

In Australia we have mudguards, which is the aluminium bit in this picture, then attached to the rear of the mudguard we have a mud flap, which can be seen on the rear hanging down. Mick.

You don't mention what the compressor is going to be used for, but if you are going to use it for tyre inflation, and most likely to inflate super single tyres, then I wouldn't even contemplate using a 12V compressor; unless it is an air conditioner type of compressor. The amperage required...

The major stumbling block for changing to a suspension seat in an "N" series Isuzu cabin, is the available internal height restrictions. there just isn't enough room for deeper seats. The F series, which is the next size up in Isuzu land are almost universally fitted out with Isringhausen...

We have Stratos seats in our NPS, they are a single construction, no left or right side, just a damped sprung seat. They are manufactured in NSW as far as I know. Manufacturing time can be an issue as you need to order what you need some months before they will be made/turn up. Personal...

Our subframe, to which the tray is mounted, is fully floating; that is, it isn't fixed. This is our tray part way through construction, it is welded to the subframe rails. If you look carefully, you can see the two rails which will sit atop the chassis rails that are welded to the tray frame...

Isuzu trucks are all 24V. That said, perhaps in the USA where they are running a petroleum engine, they've also converted the system to 12V; I don't know. We have an American living next door, he was completely mystified the first time I had him in the truck. Manual transmission completely...

Isuzu Trucks Australia, and Isuzu Ute Australia, supply all of their vehicles with dieseleum fuel, none of their vehicles are powered with petroleum. Petroleum powered light trucks and D-Max type utility SUV's, are pretty much a USA type of thing. With regard to your tank fitting between the...

The simplest way is as our extra tank has been done. Place another OEM identical tank immediately behind the original. This way nothing fuel wise with regard to pumps, filters or plumbing to the injection system is changed; it's also the cheapest. You may have to move the original forward...

Hmm, not too sure about that. Our NPS has what Isuzu calls their medium wheelbase of 3395mm, it's turning circle is 13.6m. This is the only wheelbase available for the NPS in Australia, and probably the world. The NPR comes in a few wheelbase lengths, however the crew cab version only comes in...

The OEM front axle on the NPS is rated to carry 3100kg, is your front axle equal to that, or is it higher rated? Higher rated, even a little bit may be helpful as your wheelbase seems to be a lot longer than the NPS, possibly putting more weight onto the front axle. I love my drum brakes...

I didn't really appreciate this the first time I looked, and now that I've had a think about it, where do you propose to feed the aluminium slats, inside on the ceiling, or outside in a drum? That is a pretty neat idea, seems to be a bit on the small side though. I've just measured my rear...

Hmmm, interesting concept. The chassis rails on the NPS which in Australia comes with the Isuzu 3395mm medium wheelbase, flexes like a circus contortionist. If you are converting an NPR into a 4x4, or just using it as a 4x2, and if it has a longer wheelbase than the standard NPS. I would hazard...

Sadly, it would also appear that this part of the forum may need a new sponsor?

One aspect that may have also helped their demise, is the price of their current base vehicle sourced from Isuzu. While I don't know what price increase(s) the USA market has endured, I do know that the Isuzu NPS model in Australia, has had a 40% price increase from Isuzu just for the cab...
