Some Flex Shots were Requested These are from hole in the rock trail.

A couple of interior shots.

1 Ton Isuzu Crawler $4500 -- SOLD Base of the crawler is an Automatic 1995 Isuzu Rodeo LS. I have run this vehicle all over Utah I built the vehicle to carry my family around in the great outdoors but ran out of time for this hobby. I was planning on swapping the motor with a Chevy V8 at some...

If you are using the forest service land they want you to pay the fee. I am pretty sure that this will qualify as fee liable. A $6 fee is pretty reasonable for this usage. If you are just driving through to Aspen Grove you don't have to pay, but you aren't supposed to stop and use any of the...

My nexus 7 gps works great, I just precache my topos. Cheap, nice screen. Wish it had a rear camera though. You will want to figure out how to use your app before you leave your wifi at home.

Backspacing ? Width? I have been looking for 16s for a while.

I wouldn't SAS if I could start over. I would buy one of these fancy YJs or TJs I have seen posted on RME and call it quits. Let someone else spend the time and money on upgrades then buy it from them :).

Kind of hard to tell, it was transfer case soup. On the ring and pinion in the rear it was the ring that failed, it took out both of the low spline count shafts with it.

We blew apart a land rover transfer case on 32" tires during a loose hill climb. Shortly thereafter we blew the rear ring and pinion. Agreed that the aluminum v8 makes decent power, that was about the only thing we liked about it.

How many miles a year are you putting on this vehicle? I just ran some quick numbers based upon my experience. At 10,000 miles a year the payout for a difference of $2000 will come in a couple years. At 5,000 miles a year it will take twice as long at 5 years.

I have a lot more Isuzu wisdom to impart if you have more questions.

I still have a rodeo. While I was still IFS I just carried junk yard tie rod replacements with me. $10-20 bucks for spares. Alignment becomes a problem though and you will quickly burn through tires on your way to and from Moab. Having been through this a couple of times on my rodeo before...

I tow with my 02 tahoe 5.3l. It works ok for me, I have a heavy pig of a rig and am very grateful for my trailer brakes and prodigy controller.

same, I think I chose 1980 to be round last time.
