Its been tooo long since I've posted in here. The Rodeo has been resting in a quiet storage tomb while I've been relocating to NC. I'm getting ready to take a week vacation to "remodel" the Rodeo for some fun in Uwharrie. I don't want to inadvertantly turn the ole girl into a trailer queen <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />(I hear NC requires inspections)!! Anyone have any FYIs on what to watch out for w/ this? I'm thinking seriously about attempting a SAS & fabbing a winch bumper.. I noticed a nice crawler being trailered down I40 today.. It would prob be streetable in SC (If it rolls they tag & tax it!) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

where are you moving to? I know there are good Isuzu people around Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Greenville.

I don't know all the laws, but depending on where you are (and who you know, sometimes) you shouldn't have a problem. I have seen some super ghetto stuff driving around "legally".

Also, check out nc4x4.com. I'm sure w/ a little searching you can find some answers to your questions.

Already here in Mebane .. between Greensboro & Raleigh. Kinda spooky going wheelin w/o knowing the locals! I can see it now: knock knock.. "hello mam, I noticed you have a 4x in the driveway.. I'm bumper deep in a creek two miles off in the woods". I'll check out that website!

I don't know about inspections since there are Big trucks,buggys,truggies you name that are DD for the kids up in boone,nc.

The biggest is a Wrangler w/D70&Corp14 combo pushing 52's...

and the exo'd kreations that creep and lurk everywhere are amazing........and pretty fugly <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

I wouldn't worry about it too much....



...just passed inspection (including emissions) last month. totally legit to drive on the street.

Guess that answers the question!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Nice work on your zuta!! I'm gonna spend some time studyin that front end!!!! Exactly what I'm wanting to build. I need to find where you park & "borrow" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> the specs off that beauty. I assume you built that bumper?? Nice details

There are some truly great folks at the NC Forumà
HereÆs the link: NC4x4.com

You can get some close up looks at it during Uwharrie... its actually a 1st generation DOR bumper. ALso meet Joe (from DOR) at Uwharrie as well. Obvisously, its gone through a few alterations since Joe shipped it out his door many years ago, but the design is his.

If you check my website, you can also see an orginal design I did for my girlfriend's '89 Trooper RS.

I spent about an hour looking at your website this morning.. looked like a buncha NASA engineers! Found the info on DOR & have their number. I'll follow the link over to the trail sticky. Will plan on gettin there one way or another <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />. I took it up trail two on Tellico last year.. did'nt attempt the rock garden. The IFS works great.. until it explodes!

Yeah, RobÆs Rodeo is pretty sweet, ainÆt it? [* Insert æGreen w/ EnvyÆ emoticon *]
