    Looks like INDY still has them to me...

    But Beau (ascinder) made his own. Might want to contact him. I have the Indy's though I'm not impressed, I think they use the incorrect size rod end... they send it with washers (bad bad) and by the time I got them tightened there was no room for a boot to survive so I just keep them lubed... hindsight? Would have stayed stock.

    I didn't know if those were the same, I was going per the info on planetisuzoo. According to that one, they were discontinued, but I will contact beau and get the skinny. Thanks.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    You just need the Isuzu IFS "LONG" from Indy, but I'd recommend contacting Beau.

    I believe the OEM are as much if not more.
    Any good off road fab shop should be able to whip a set out though.

    Any job machine shop, just take them the stock, length you want, (measure the OEM on the truck) and the thread pitch and how deep you want it threaded. If you happen to have a tech school handy that has a machine shop program, should be able to get it done for free or next to nothing. Use your old rod ends or order new.

    If you want heavy duty you'd definately want something a bit bigger than stock. I looked at one of Indy's at the San Diego meet (Rickshaw has a pair) and the rod ends are a lot beefier than stock.

    $200 might be a little steep, but I don't mind support a shop that still does custom work for our Isuzu's, and has an amazing knowledge in our SUV's and doesn't mind talking with you for however long it takes to help you out. AND on top of that you will not find better made parts, you buy this upper and you will never be in risk of breaking one ever again. You get what you pay for, and part of that in this situation is supporting a great company that is still supporting our dying bread of 4x4's

    Hmmmmm, that is true, but I have info from people who do have the Indy adjusters, and they said they were not impressed. I am just shopping around, and I have ordered other parts from Indy ,but I also like the idea of not getting stuck with just one vendor. I am gonna swing by Lowcountry 4x4 here in Charleston, and I am betting they have never seen a Vx before. So it should drum up some attention there. Hopefully, they can work something out. We shall see.

    Once I hook up with the planetisuzoo group ina few weeks, I will find out my options here on the East Coast as well. There are some amazing rigs in that group. A Honda Passport on 38s...never would have thought of such a thing

    If that is the one I think it is I am sure you will find lots of Indy parts on it.
