    Frankenstein looks better with the tires I put on today.
    I had some 33" tires I wasn't using.

    Not this coming year. There are a list of stuff to fix. It didn't come with a front driveshaft or even sunroof glass. I found a driveshaft, radiator & spare rim on Craig's list. I will try to get those today. All dodge parts. The driveshaft will probably have to be cut down & balanced. I need to do that to the rear one also. I think its too tight & never was balanced. Now back to the sunroof glass. Did Isuzu use that sunroof in other models ? Or is it a VX part only? Is there anybody on here in my general area? Akron, Cleveland Ohio

    If the rear drive shaft feels to tight or out of balance, it's possible it just needs to be lubed at the grease fittings.

    Try looking through any receipts that may have come with the rig for more specific info, because sunroofs weren't offered stock in the VX, so it's most likely an aftermarket purchase...or from the sound of it...also quite possibly a Dodge sunroof out of some model vehicle from that brand since that's where all the other donor parts came from. I think your best bet for info on that one is going to be to talk to the previous owner again.

    I have looked at dodge rear drive shafts they stick out 1&1/2" farther than mine. My sunroof looks very stock. I can take a pic. It's power and has a factory looking sun shade in the headliner
    Well my dodge radiator is smaller than the full size one. So I'm still looking for that. I did get a spare dodge rim & the front drive shaft today. It needs to be cut down. But I sold the old tires for $175 on Craig's list today! :
