God i am slack, please feel free to bag me in any which way you feel. Here are some photos i had on the computer, you can see a bit on them but if you want some more of certian bits then let me know and i'll take them. Thats if you haven't built the thing already!!! http://photobucket.com/albums ...

The alloy is a good choice, it is robust but only a 3rd of the weight of steel. Be carefull if you get marine grade as you have to anneal it before you bend it, but otherwise it is just the same to work with as normal alloy, only stronger and more corrosion resistant. Don't use stainless unless you ...

I'll take some tomorrow and put them up for you

The isuzu mu ones have spring back keepers on them so the rope falling off is not a problem, you can buy spring keepers for most hooks from your local hook and rope specialist. Bolts need to be at least 12mm diameter and 8.8 grade, but no more than 12 as any higher and they will shear off as they ...

Quite a bit, i can send you some photos of mine if you like, depends on how elaborate you wanna get, you could do just a simple cradle or make a whole bar to suit!!

Yeah, thats right, the chassis will sort of belly out on the ground which means i can still get to the hooks, having one on either side is a big advantage too, i have welded on a 12mm plate that is bend along the side of the body mound and back to the chassis on an angle so it acts as a gusset too ...

Where ever you have them. make sure you can get to them when you are stuck up to your bumpers in mud, i have lost count how many times i have gone to pull people out who can't find their hooks, cause they are pointing downwards and are burried into the bank!! I have a set of jaws above my rear tow ...

Oh i see, so i am well out left feild and full of crap!!!

Sorry bout that, i should read more carefully aye!!!!

my bad whats the difference then???

I would think so, that would make it at least reasonable, its quite a simple operation to do, easy if you know what you are doing!!

Sounds like this person got ripped off!! was the boost controller gold plated or something!! I did my hole boost set-up, guage and everything for under $100, the intercooler which came off a bighorn, so was a pretty much bolt on was under $300, start to stop, not including time though, but even an ...

Have decided to flag that idea because i have a work vechile now, and work on something thats probably even more grey untill i get it certified if possible!!

Will let you know when its working and stuff!!

Both, i certainly have on my mu, intercooler with a fan on top of it, and a in-cabin boost controller which lets me wind it out to 16psi

I've never heard of anyone saying snorkels are noisey, i made my own and i only get abit of a whistling noise coming back up it just after i've really booted the truck, go safari as they are alot better and seal better too. Hey 1lurch, have you got a sticker like your photo, i could put it to good ...

I had similar problems with mine, used to drop down to 12 volts when i turned lights, etc on, was really bad at idel, the vacume pump on the factory 55 amp alternator shat its self so i put a 80 amp bighorn alternator on and i have got plenty of power now!! heaps to run all my lights, winch, etc ...

you would be amazed at how many eye brows i have raised in my little truck, where i have been in 2 wheel drive (after breaking stuff) and how many times i have driven past vechiles likes of landcrusers and safari's that have sunk in swamps and i'm still going!!! All i want for christmas is simex ...

I found it was cheaper to get a genuine one from gwds than what it was gonna be mates rates from my local wreckers. Its crasy how sometime genuine parts are cheaper!!!

Hi there, i have the same truck, a ucs55, and have never hand any engine truble whatsoever. Just keep thenm regularly serviced and they will go for years!! If you want more details about them then go to m This is a world wide web site dedicated to isuzu enthusists and if you have a look around you ...

Nice job steve, it would be a shame to sell it woundn't it??? you have just made it into the mu club, why leave again!!!!

How much you looking at for her??

A friend of mine has this system and he just has a filter which is cheap as on the inlet of the unit, and a pressure regulating release valve on the other and has that set to 120 psi. The air con unit will be running at up wards of 200psi, maybe 350psi so you will have plenty of pressure, no need to ...

That figure sound pretty good considering all the work the photos have showen!!

Like i said, i'll wait till i come back from overseas and then see what i can find!! Might just get a jeep wrangler and do the mods to it since its all there and they have plenty of power!!

HEHE have thought about it a bit lately as i am going to do alot to the back end soon, but i think i would go coil front and rear, in which case i would buy a 96 onward model and then the back is already half done!! So for the next few years untill we go over seas i'll be happy with my tuck as it ...

Hey steve, so how much is it gonna cost me to get mine done like that????

I got one of those pak n save ones and they go alright, got the soaper bottle thing, will not blast off the fine grime, but will take off the big lumps and clean around the running gear better than a hose can, and then a wipe with a brush takes the grime off, but thats just my opinion!!

nsk, skf, timkin are all good brands, use the grease that tristanp is talking about or that heavy dutie special stuff that mobil makes, its kinda like cv grease and repells water really good.

Go the 6 tonners, they go higher than most jacks and they can hold up a bus, i have a pair of the 6's and a pair of the 3's, both powerbuilt, deens on how much you want to hold up and how high you wanna hold it,
But thats just my 2cents worth!!

bugger, will be too piss crook to drive as work do is day before, mmm. gray fish, cod, pawa, samon, pig on the spit, etc, etc

Would be nice to meet you guys in person but never mind, maybe next year!! Have a good one and get dirty

I have had my ramsey for only a few weeks now, but i brought it off a pate who has had it for about 4 years. It is a bit slow compared to a good warn, but alot faster than the cheap ones you can buy these days, and it can really pull, seen it pull out a bogged long wheel-base safari using doubble ...

IF mu ones will fit i have a set of superwinch ones here for $150.

just think about the cost of setting up a 4wd these days, boy racer cars are a common day thing now and i'm seeing more and more people "cruising" in lifted trucks these days. it sucks for us but its the way the world is now, nothings your own when in public!!
