Here are some pics. Enjoy. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Rest of the Pictures There were a total of three rigs. Mine, my brother(84 Yota), and my cousin(99 4Runner). Just went out for half a day of wheel then I had to get back to run sound for my church's Christmas Eve services. We all had fun and nobody broke anything, other than my t-case shifter. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Last edited by Rodeo Clown; 12/26/05 03:06 AM. 1997 Isuzu Rodeo - Auto - 31" ATs 1995 Honda Passport - 1 tons - 39" Boggers Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: Rodeo Clown] #679992 12/26/05 01:33 PM Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 1,994 Under my wifes RODEO in EastTN Bansil Body Damage is Cool Looks like a cold but,fun time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> Those 35's don't look bad at all.

Any bugs to work out in the setup? Found anything you would have done differently? 88 Troop - Posing yard art Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: paulevans76] #679994 12/26/05 09:28 PM Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 551 Clearwater, FL R Rodeo Clown OP Rock Warrior The tires are great. They have tons of traction. And they balanced out really well. I have some trimming to do to fit the tires at full stuff, and I need to add my front bumpstops. Also plan on cutting 1.5" out of the BL. But other than that I am very happy with it. Personally I think either I need to make the rear springs softer or the front springs firmer because right now the front does most of the work. Cool to watch but I want the rear to twist up nicely as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Last edited by Rodeo Clown; 12/26/05 09:29 PM. 1997 Isuzu Rodeo - Auto - 31" ATs 1995 Honda Passport - 1 tons - 39" Boggers Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: Rodeo Clown] #679995 12/26/05 11:51 PM Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 1,994 Under my wifes RODEO in EastTN Bansil Body Damage is Cool considering how nice and level the body seems to stay,it might be working better than you think.......just cuz' it's not kicked up like it's pointing at a fire hydrant don't mean it's not working <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />.... run it for a while then decide..... good job Bansil 98 Rodeo(hers) 00 Rodeo(his) Lisa's Rodeo Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: Bansil] #679996 12/27/05 05:24 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 868 Portland, Oregon 4WDJOE Rock Warrior Rich did you look to see how much the front driveline clears that crossmember at full flex? I'm guessing it didn't hit or you would have called me with a complaint. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I'm still stunned by the fact that Peter took his 'Runner out <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I was beginning to wonder if he was going to just be a passenger forever since he sold the pickup. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 97 Rodeo Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: Rodeo Clown] #679997 12/27/05 07:48 AM Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 1,873 Walnut Creek, CA H holger Body Damage is Cool Tires look great. I wish they had more sizes and loads available. The smallest tire they have is LT265/75R16 123P E/10 (58 pounds per tire!) which is way too much for my Rodeo.

The rear is probably the only reason the Rodeo is as streetable as it is. If I softened it up I would probably have to add some swaybars. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Joe, as far as I could tell the driveshaft cleared the crossmember just fine. We didn't fully flex it out on the passenger side but I didn't have any problems with it. Thanks for the work on that. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 1997 Isuzu Rodeo - Auto - 31" ATs 1995 Honda Passport - 1 tons - 39" Boggers Re: Took the Rodeo out to play [Re: Rodeo Clown] #679999 12/28/05 03:13 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 868 Portland, Oregon 4WDJOE Rock Warrior Hey Rich no problem my man <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> It was nice to work on an Isuzu again.
