so here is what i started with a 1992 isuzu amigo i picked up for 430$ with a blown head gasket , it had a 2 inch bodylift on it so i put some 31's on it
then added a smittybuilt xrc8 winch to it with a custom winch mount
got pretty bored with that quick so i did a spring over in the rear and balljoint flip in the front and added some 33 procomp mud terrains
then i picked up some toy axles pretty shure 83 front and a 90 4cyl rear
got a diff gaurd for the rear too, still have to get the vented thicker rotors, hubs and im putting 5.29 gears in it, planning to run a 35 or 36, just gettin the $$ saved up
some updates, steering is temporary still waiting on brake parts and still looking for a deal on diffs and tires, had to whip some donuts couldent resist
Man- I've been wanting to build one of those for a few years now. They always looked to be about the perfect wheelbase as long as it wasn't lifted too high.
What is the wheelbase on it anyway?
Your's will look sweet once it's got the new rubber under it.
im getting ruffstuff perches for the rear to replace the stock ones and get rid of the shims and move the rear axle back 1 inch, the front axle got pushed 2.5 inches forward with the sas ill measure it for ya the way it sits now
yeah not a big fan of the body lift but it was there when i got it, whoever put it on made the shifter and t-case shift lever longer so maybe down the road ill deal with it
some brake parts @ misc parts on the way, hopefully got a heated garage to use, i would like to come downstate wheeling sometime next summer if work allows it
couple updates, got the vented rotors and v-6 calipers and stailness steel brake lines on, rear shocks on nothing special still saving for 5.29's and a detroit for the rear found a deal on some 35-12.50 procomp mud terrains that look new so ill have some better updates to come soon
sorry for the crappy cellphone pic its all i had at the moment
some updates, got hubs from h aggar on here work great, 35s are on some mild wheeling pics, made a driveshaft with .400 wall dom, works great, got a little stuck too
sold it, got the waterproof winch from trailgear on the way , the springs settled about 1/2 an inch so far there getting softer the more i wheel it, the body lift is coming out soon i hate it
