[Barryg]

bump for a great rig

 

[detroitjosh]

2-3 in front sear (if middle seat used)
2-3 in large rear(crew) bemch
coach very long bench(over 8') could be used if seat belts added add'l 2-3?

Barry, am I reading correctly that it could be anywhere from 4-6 additional belted passengers on top of the 2-3 in the cab, for a total potential of 6-9 passengers?

 

[inonil]

Barry, what is the height of your rig (highest point = needed clearance under a bridge or garage door)?

Thanks

What exactly is a $90,000 Kevlar Air Suspension?

Any pics and details? I've never heard of this and very curious

yes ; room for 3 in front bench; room for 3 in rear seat (it's a crew cab); there ere is a long bench seat in the rear camper about 9 feet long without seat belts which could be easily added.;however you would have quiate a crowd!

the original stock Isuzu springs, axles were removed and heavy Alcan leafs in front, Dynatrec axles front and rear, diffs, 4 link suspension and Pac brake rear air suspension with 2 air compressors and kevlor air bags in rear that allow up to 250 lb pressure vs the stock pac brake air bags with a 100 lb limit.

Love it! But don’t understand a GAS motor. Why did you not go diesel with all that weight and wind resistance. Good luck with the sale,

 

[Barryg]

yes I'm a fan of diesels too; this rig was designed by a very experienced man in Panama for travelling through south american ;modern US diesels can't burn the hi sulfer fuel outside the country without disabling the emission systems. Also the available diesel from Isuzu is a small not powerful enough motor to power this 14,700 lb rig. This gas motor is the 6.0 L Vortec engine used in Chevy Tahoe, Gmc Yukon and I believe corvette's ; it' a very powerful, long lasting motor I've had 3 of them and one is still going strong at 400,000 miles

 

[zimm]

Agreed. I’d prefer the gasser in this. The LS engines are generally bomb proof and if fuel cost is not an issue, and you can squeak on an extra 1/3 capacity, you get the bonus of general fuel availability. There are tq and efficiency advantages to oil, but it’s not the show stopper some seem to present. It’s certainly not worth having a turtle unless you really do need a 1500 mile range for the empty quarter and an empty tank is death.

 

[Winston Woo]

Is there room for an additional fuel tank? Does the current air compressors also allow for tire inflation capabilities after airing down when needed.

 

[Barryg]

there is considerable space ahead of the passenger side water tank so I think so. No the Viair compressors are plumbed directly to the air bag suspension, but as we are performing the intial "shake down" service I'm thinking of adding a second redundent ait line for airing tires, inflatable bots etc.
