One of the issues with dual Isuzu cases seems to be fluid capacity/cooling of the front case once the output is lopped off.


yes, thats definitely a problem based on my experience. If I had been trying to keep my rig on the street, a electric pump and externel cooler would have been requirements for me.

Overall length of the dual Isuzu combo in a 1st gen Amigo leaves the rear driveshaft rather stubby as well <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I don't know that this combo would be any shorter, though.


see, coming from the Rodeo side of things, this wouldn't be a plus in my book. I had plenty of rear shaft, but my front shaft was the one that could have benefitted from more length.

Another good combo would be the 231's range box/D300 combo mated with the 'box for rocks' kit. What would be REALLY nice is if the Isuzu mainshaft was of a size that it could be machined/resplined to work directly as an input shaft for one of the above combos.


Yea, I dunno about the Toyota stuff, but just off the top of my head, I'm guessing not for the 231.


Another thing is this would give you the option of running a front CV joint if you so desire... which just isn't possible for me due to the tight clearance between things.
