I got one from a trooper, but it would click and skip while turning in 4Hi because the balls were smaller diameter, anyone with the trooper ones experience this as well?
    please explain this so called "skipping", kinda of making me feel uneasy lol.

    Also are there any pics or detailed descriptions on the lower ball joint and how to remove it? I assume it is as well is going to have to come off...

    Lastly, if i order the part i posted in an earlier response do i separate it to be able to install it into my green cup looking part?

    When I do this i am going to take a million pics and make it very descriptive...

    The skipping for me was just like you could tell that the balls were rotating around when they shouldn't be. This might not be the case on a brand new unit mine was used.

    Lower ball joint is easy, as with any bolts on the VX that need to be moved just start soaking it with PB Blaster (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...rds=pb+blaster) the days before you try to break it loose and normally you won't have too many problems.

    All these pics and descriptions are already avaliable for the "front diff drop brackets" or the "CV boot installation", all you have to do extra is undo the wheels hubs which is a few allen bolts and a c clip, you can figure that one out easily. Talk to Tom4bren if you cannot find them on here or on the isuzu planet website's. Really is an easy project just a little messy at times, buy LOTS of shop towels and brake cleaner for the CV grease clean up
