[tintin]

This looks like an awsom build. love the colour. im in the process of puting a 3rz into a SAS ln61. im about at the wiring stage. have you got any wiring info? also wht gbox you using manuel or auto?

once again nice build.

using a manual W56 gearbox, as for the wiring i have not even thought about it at this stage

What he said, that is the shiz
What Isuzu model are those indicators off I want to put some on mine.....
That beast looks WAY to flash take it off road.....if you do offraod it after a while and it'll look like this







I say it's too nice to take offroad, a grouse generation 1 is very cool keep it flash as, polish it up and enjoy
buy yourself a trailer queen for hacking in

i have started looking for another chassis because im not happy with the repairs that have been done. Im in no hurry as yet because i dont want to pay the ridiculous prices some people are wanting for them so I will just hang back and wait for one to pop up somewhere
Running gear, 3RZ with 5 speed W56 box, everything else is pretty much standard, would love a well side but i cant find one and ive forked out to much to get the cab to where it is now, so a nice flatdeck painted the right colour will look ok i think.
im still undecided on a little lift and 33s, its quite a bit of $ just to look cool
thanks to everyone for your positive feedback so far

Are you still after a chassis? Could possibly have one in Bulls if its any help.

a big thanks to koma for sorting it for me

[hosehustler]

cool

[koma]

yeah the policeman at mobil gave me a funny look and it was bouncing round a bit, nothing said about the overhang, all good and thanks for the photos Riley talked about it all the way to Waiouru Army Museum then it was tanks and choppers all the way home
all in all an awesome boys day out

[tintin]

cool

good things take time. 3 years to find a good chassis

[tintin]

first two pics the mounts have to moved towards the alternator 70mm


last two pics mounts have to be moved away from the oil filter

[tintin]

decided to have a go at installing a radio,
after alot of grinding, filing, sanding and even a soldering iron thrown in there somewhere (not for what it was intended for but was good for cutting out the plastic where the radio now sits)

now i just have to figure out where to fix it at the back

i used my good plastic part so im glad i didnt stuff it up and a spare metal dash part so i can figure out how its going fit just in case something did go wrong and i didnt want to scratch my nicley painted dash.
so now it should be an easy enough job to swap over when done

[tintin]

not alot of room here

might need abit of a lift

[tintin]

new engine mounts are been made up to move engine back 50mm
then i can sort out the new gearbox crossmember.
(all so in need of what ever clips, nuts or bolts that hold the gearsticks in so they dont fall out)

[tintin]

have also been thinking of a oil cooler to help with cooling issues as im limited for space to fit a bigger radiator but there is plenty of space in front of it to fit a reasonable sized cooler any one have any thoughts on this

[surf10]

Im running a small trans cooler with a thermo fan on the back to cool my trans, was goin too get another one to run on my 3rz aswell. got it off summit wasent to bad for price and came with all the fittings, hose and mounting brackets. i can post up a pic of it if you want to see how ive mounted it.
