thanks for the posts origionally but just want to clarify something. is it just the 2 blanking plates between the valves and manifold that need blanking off and the vacuum pipes connected, its just someone mentioned 3 blanking plates, if i am reading the isuzu forum correct its only 2. would be grateful for clarification from someone who has performed this mod.

thanks guys

I have the valves AND the pipe removed, but for basic removal, just make plates to blank the 2 valves on the inlet manifold

Don't forget to take pics

went out to sort the egr valves today all set and ready lifted the hood and :shock:

no egr valves just 2 thick steel blanking caps fitted in with m8 bolts. the blanking caps dont really look like someone made them they look proper factory made items

. anyone else found similar :?:

K well mine are still there and don't look blanked off, plus the vacuum pipes aren't even blocked or connected, just open. So I'll blank mine off either tomorrow morning or if I get distracted by the FJ then I'll do it next weekend taking lots of photos.

Easiest mod you've ever done then, huh?

I know some Rodeos had no EGR on them, but I think in your case they will just be very tidy afrtermarket plates, because Bighorns are all JDM imports here, and the EGR is a requirement of their market

Cool... so what did you modify instead? Or did the shock of not having to do it just land you in the couch with a beer for the arvo?

well should be fitting the snorkel this week, it should be here tomorrow. been ringing around for tyre and wheel prices a fair bit too. tyre choice seems to be endless and everyone seems to recomend something different. in the uk most mud pluggers use retreads as they are good and also cheaper and it doesnt matter if you rip one up, noone here speaks highly of them, i did see a set of retreads in one of the tyre dealers identical to ones i had on my rangie but the guy wouldnt even show me them
