On adhuntr...

Search "isuzu 4.77" "isuzu gears" "isuzu 477"

Finding 4.77s on craigslist is like finding a flying man-bear-pig unicorn. Reason being, most people who know they have 4.77s use the planet to post them for sale. That's why I wanted to tell Jo ASAP after finding them yesterday morning. The only other time I saw 4.77s on craigslist was for a set that was also posted on the planet and scooped up quickly.

In other words, the Planet classified section is the best place for hard to find stuff. :)

You can also search:-

89 Trooper
RS Trooper
Two dr trooper
Trooper Snowflake

...etc!

Its a real lottery as it just depends how the seller describes stuff.


Jo

Oh and JBTW..&^%$ !!

The guy with the 4.77's in Yakima promised them to me..

"First Dibs" to quote.

He was checking shipping etc so I knew how much to send him.

E-mail this morning:-

"Sorry jo, a guy locally wants the stuff, I know you had first dibs but cash talks."


So much for Honoring his word...:mad:

Jo

Couldn't offer more? You were willing to pay $1300 before (albeit for plug and play).

What a d1ck though. We'll keep looking.

The $1300 was for a whole different set up...

...which included two lockers and fully reconditioned/rebuilt units.

I probably would of paid more, he didnt give me the chance.
But having been told "first dibs"..
...I took him at his word, and figured it was a done deal, except for sorting out shipping cost.

Oh well....aint nuttin I can do abooot it .

Jo,

vt_mav sent me a link to an 89 Trooper on CL in my neck of the woods. I just called about it. The guy knows nothing about the truck other than it has a 6 cyl engine, 5 speed tranny & 4WD. He didn't even know if it was a 2 door until he stepped outside to look (it's a 4 door). From what I've read, since it's a 4 door it doesn't have the 4.77s you're looking for - correct?

Hi Tom

There seems to be conflicting views on this :o

Some say 2 dr only, others include 4 door.

If its a 4 door with 4.77's the manufacturers plate under the hood
should have option code 6NZ on it...as far as I know!

Is this a whole vehicle, or for parts.

Thanks

jo

Whole vehicle for $1500. Still runs strong. This could be a group effort thang ... if someone is wanting to do the 5 sp swap. Lemme know if you want me to check into any further.

Thanks Tom...

Its probably worth finding out if it has the 4.77's...:thumbup:

Jo

It has the 2.8L engine & the only 3 digit code he could find is V4W. I don't think that this one is going to pan out for us in any way.

Thanks Tom..I appreciate all the help :thumbup:
