    Dude... thats just... dude.......

    I want....

    Looks great. the black looks really good too. and this should be alot more solid than mine. I'll definitely be looking for an extra door to do something similar (preferably closer than Colorado) when I get some time.

    Nice job

    nice job jon.. looks great.

    and i said that you dont want to do that because the rear door is weak and if you get rear ended you have no support. Im all about modding the crap outta something



    now we need to go test it out, come spring.

    On a side note, i might need to meet up with you before may to do some testing with fitting your tires on my Runner and see what happens (i got a hold of a saw and would LOVE 35's)

    I didn't want to risk my good VX door just in case the project went bust. The donor door was a mess from a rollover and required hrs of body work just to get the door good enough to torch a giant hole through it

    Nice job
    I wasn't sure if the black would look okay & actually painted the door victory white to match the rest of the VX. I paid quite a bit to get matching paint which didn't actually match so I decided to go with black truck bed spray paint instead. Now with the hood & tailgate black, its possible that my VX will be an Ebony after a few more mods.

    Excuse the hijack, but where can I get on of those big outline style Isuzu badgeroonies? Like the ZU here but with the ISU as well?
    Would look good on the bum of my Jackadeo Frankentruck
    The answer is more power! What was the question?

    Nice, get those 35s Jack

    I would like to take a trail run before Moab to make sure everything is ready for summer fun.

    On a side note my next project will work on Yotas too. Belt driven on board air system with a york compressor powerful enough to fill large tires quickly, have constant air & run air tools anywhere. I'll make a VX engine bracket for those interested & we could probably fab something for your engine too.

    hmm, interesting. I was looking into a smittybuilt or arb for the two air tanks i currently have. But they are both electrical.

    guess we will see what you come up with.
