Ideas on a project???

[icepick]

I'm looking at getting a 93 Izuzu amigo *getting cheap* and going to use it for a crawling project. getting for 600$ and it runs great, has a 4 " lift on it already... has the 2.6l 4 cyl.

any ideas on some goodies i can attach to it, preformance prods or is it worth it? for 600$, i dont see where i'm losing.


btw... just signed up today... nice place ya'll ahve here..

ummm... same goodies as you would put on any truck before 'wheeling it.


Just don't be an ass and beat the crap out of it just because "it's only an isuzu, who cares?" - have some pride in your ride or sell it to someone who will.

Didnt mean to ruffle any feathers... just looking at options before i go to puttin money into it. Was lookin for the best place to get the stuff..

Hey Man,


Well are you just trying to get ideas in general or do have a basic idea with what you want to run? Try telling us at what you are going for. Do you want to go krazy with a full cage solid axle swap etc. Or are you looking at keeping it close to stock ? Maybe there is a middle ground. Either just give us a starting point.

Check out these sites:

Independent4x.com - lots of Isuzu stuff. The proprieter Matt (TrooperRS) is a vendor here.

Darlington-offroad.com - Also lots of Isuzu stuff

There is a cam and header available for your engine from Calmini.

That should give you a place to start

throw an ARB in the rear and some Rocker Bars on it, a set of MT's 32" + and go wheeling


up the anty with a Low 3.07 t-case kit and have more fun

add a cage inside to protect your Mellon

throw a D44 uner the front ........re-gear the f/back to 5.38............add some 35"s or 37's and have even more fun

welcome!

throw an ARB in the rear and some Rocker Bars on it, a set of MT's 32" + and go wheeling

Is that the right equation??????

Is guess I reall did screwup in math class.......

'cause to me jus' weld up the front/rear 1 ton junk,throw in another t-case and then wheel the hell out of it,

oops I guess that's the next,next,next step .......

do what trooperrs said and have a ball,follow the heeps etc.....then worry about what to do next.

That fella' (TrooperRs) might even do you good on some parts,to make your Isuzu a little more trail ready

Ok... actually found its 2wd... but with the ideas i have... it wouldnt matter. Engine swap.. chry318/360, ford 302 or chevy 350... course manual tranny and xfer case.. solid axles front and rear.. figger becuse of weight i'll stay around 3.73 gearing.. get the lift up to clear 35's, unless i should go 33's because of the size of the rig.. i am thinking od getting some old jeep axles to start with... then i can swap later when i need something alittle more massive... or if i make it strictly a crawler..

Think i'll name it SuperZu

Am i crazy? if so then thats even more a reason lol!

[icepick]

an btw... it dows have a lift... why? who knows... guess somone thought it'd be cool to lift a 2X

Also... is there an engine that would bolt up on the 5 speed in the amigo? then all i's haffa do is ad a xfer case and do the axles...
