    Yup had it a while, blew every last dime I had to get it and I have been saving money to complete the project.

    It seems I can only save 3,000-3,500 before something goes wrong with the daily driver that needs to be fixed. Just redid my CV's with the mag-tech boots so hopefully those will last a while, CV's are expensive!
    2001 Ironman Daily Driver... 3.5" suspension lift (OME912 springs and 1" spring spacer), ball joint flip, 1.5" front diff. drop, 33"x12.5 TrXus MT, 16x10 Eagle Alloy rims, Interceptor, PV muffler, K&N air filter, Alpine Supercharger, Bilstein shocks, and some trimming.

    As far as i know, correct me if i'm wrong here, the engine swap is a no biggy, yeah a long project, but can be done. the problem with a swap is not really on the engine, but the tranny. The isuzu tranny has a max torque load, and alot of pawer will kill you tranny in no time, but ofcourse if your changing the tranny as well then theres no problem. My projet that want to do 1 day in like 1 million years from now is a deisal highorn 5 speed swap or the the deisal engine the the rodeos have in other parts of the world(it's a isuzu truck rodeo). thats what i sugest that. i read on a isuzu deisal swap, that most deisal engins will fit with our 4L30-E Trannies. Thats my slice of openion and advise.

    Whats the Point of Living, if You don't go BIG.....
