Not to change the subject, but what is that five-jointed shaft thingy on this site listed under the "military" section? It is shown on a H1 Hummer.

Here's a pic:



Ok, so I figure this thing is smaller than it looks and its purpose is to run some offset fan setup. But why?

A set of 4.88 gears that fit the 2000+ Trooper 12 bolt rear/10 bolt IFS front to go with my 265/75/16 tires. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

^^I second that^^ 4.88's!
I just got my lift with my 33x12.5's and it made a big difference in power.

I'd like to see a window kit which would eliminate the smoker's windows on 1st Gen Troopers. This a popular mod with the VW Bug crowd. It comes with two new windows and weather stripping for the bottom, and anyone can do it.

I second the window trick, Mine leak lika waterfall <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am going to make my vote for some sort of Toyota T-case adapter to 4l30e.

Along with mass produced Toy CV to isuzu T-case output flanges.

I personally should start with the Tera t-case gears and go from there, I can't talk until I try, but I also ain't got no money after my axle swap.

Also I think it shouldnt be hard to make up some sort of complete SAS kit with measurements and stuff so that the more average backyard DIY kinda guy can pull off an SAS. That is a lot of what has done it for all-pro measurements and good instructions have allowed a lot of SASes to be born. While you are at this you might as well see if you can't pull off a linked coil suspension kit as well.

I would like wider amigo front fenders. And roll cages would be cool. What about DIY exo/endo skeleton cages?

A cool exo makes it so you don't have to put on gay garden edging to pass inspection.

sorry guys i have been very busy this week, so i have had little -no message board time..........i'm still reading and thinking about the suggestions. so keep them coming.

i made the isuzu - toy t-case flange at least 4 years ago..............pic:



just busting your chops <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />....................but really i explored this as a solution and while it does work it also presents some issues. I won't bog down the thread with them, but i will say that one idea i have is to do a "modified" factory isuzu output that will accept a toy flange.

Matt do you have any more of the toyota adapters that you posted about above? did you sell these?

Thanks

Another vote for headers on all generations Isuzu rodeos, amigos and troopers, especially the 3.1L(ceramic coated of course, I'll pay $200 - $500). Another vote for fender flares, large ones that can accomodate large tires (like the ones on Toyota 4Runners and Landcruisers). Rear bumper brush guards for all generations isuzus. Custom modified rear cargo doors that opens into two sections instead of letting down for better access to cargo area (like the ones on chevy SUV and newer model SUV - will probably end up modifying the spare tire holder). <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not to speak for matt, but IIRC, he only had a single one produced for his 1st SAS rig. I believe he retained the machining CAD drawings in the hopes of producing more at a later date.
