*** Above picture is "pre-lift" - I've taken it off road twice since completing the suspension rebuild and locker install. Everything works flawlessly. It's not abused and built like a tank. The body and underbody is well armored and protected.
I drive the truck nearly everyday. And it's been on numerous camping trips including three trips to Bend, Canada Mt Whistler, Estacada, and Nearby Mountains. The truck has never let me down and runs very well.
ARB Roof Tent (used 4 times) - $1,500
Thule Rack - Quick Release Base Rack - 2 Bike Racks - Snowboard Rack - Matching Locks - $1,100
Exedy Clutch Kit (complete) & New Flywheel - $250
Revolution 3 to 1 Transfercase Gears - $1,000
This has been a fun project and solid truck. I'm very happy with how everything turned out. This is a push rod engine so there's no timing belt to change and it's so simple. Throttle body injection with lots of room to access spark plugs and everything else. Alternator is at the top of the engine. Much nicer than the new vehicles.
My relatives have a 1992 Isuzu Rodeo (same drive train and chassis) and they have over 260k on the original engine and transmission. I've seen these trucks with over 350k miles. These are tough trucks if you take care of them. Just as good as a Toyota Tacoma Truck, Nissan, Ford Ranger. I'm selling to downsize to 1 vehicle. It's a tough decision but that's life.
