If you have big rocks in your drive way that you park your Zu on

Do you really? Thats kickass!



As until recently I had been parking in the open field next to my work (which now has some nice, deep ruts in it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />) and one day some one had put a rather large pice of wood (tree stump) out there...so i parked with my passeger front wheel on top of it. It was a great flex shot and I wish I had had a camera!

...you've done extensive research on having a Isuzu TD imported into the US for transplant into your truck.

...you have a love-hate relationship. Things run great some days, the gremlins expose themselves on others.

...you spend your free time searching ebay for a 79 jeep wagoneer front axle.

...you wonder how your rodeo would really look with an open cargo area.

...you took the carpet out of your truck over a year ago, but haven't found the time or money for a herculined interior.

...your mom is always asking what your plans are for the stack of spare parts are and whenever she notices something new, she always asks "Was that really necessary?" and tells you that you shouldn't chase bad money with good.

...you're willing to live with a 3500rpm on the highway as a trade-off for lower gearing on the trail.

...you've broken more parts and spent more money than you care to remember.

..you remeber the date you bought your Isuzu off the top of your head (October 18th, 2000), but can't remember your aniversary.

- You've got terra-lows (for the rear), 2 cat converters and bunch of other parts sitting next to your bed, and you fight with you'r mom every time she moves them to clean the room (oh, and your room looks more and more like a junk yard).

I might be a redneck, wait wrong line. IF you got two new boggers for the front end BUT don't have the time or money to get front alligned or tires mounted.
How about when my wife took MY truck to work so I could use her car(got the kids) and I cried as she drove away. Last sunday she drove MY truck and some how closeing the pass door bent something and made the dooor drop two inches. I may have to swing by her work to keep a check on my baby <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

When, after buying your wife a first gen Rodeo because she likes how it looks and how much room it's got, you scrounge the web for info on it, find an addictive forum, sell a perfectly good Buick, and buy an 18 year old truck so you can have a 4x4 Isuzu to play with since the wife won't let you touch hers! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Oh yeah, and this after being a dedicated Toyota fan... (still want another classic Celica though)

This more applies to Amigo owners...

...you get really offended if someone calls your Amigo a Rodeo or a jeep <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />

...you search eBay everyday looking for a part for your Migo.

...you are wondering what the hell you are going do when it is time to buy a new car in several years so you try to keep the miles down by glancing at them every time you get in the car(Amigos aren't made anymore)

...Your last three cars have been Isuzu Amigos

...When someone mentions an Amigo, you get excited and wait to correct them on a spec they say wrong about it.

...Your life revolves around your Amigo.

...You are afraid to take your Amigo anywhere because of the soft top.

...You think everyone wants your Amigo

...You like Rodeos, but deep down you truly despise them.

...Act like you truly need a 4x4 and you live in the city, just so you can say you have a 4x4(works great in the rain though)

...Continously list things that you would be obssessed about in your Amigo with!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

... You carry 60 pounds of tools in a back pack every day, from Amigo home.

àif you take a perfectly good 1996 Off-Rodeo and remove more than a foot out of the length of the frame, weld the remaining sections back together, and bolt a 1990 Amigo body on ità then you scavenge the RodeoÆs carcass for whatever you can transfer over, like the entire dashboard assembly , the between-the-seats/center-mounted emergency brake lever, etc. --- And along the way, spend enough money to have put a solid front axle on BOTH!

Six Isuzus, so far... still have three of them.
