    Thanks Mav!! The best sand tire I have found was the Yokohama Dirt Digger II that I ran on my Baja Bug at around 5 psi at Glamis Dunes. I think they have been replaced by the Dirt Digger III which I had considered for the VX but mucho expensive.

    My off-road guy says the spacer always goes on the bottom. But WTF does he know. Always glad to get your inputs Ldub, I was beginning to think something had happened to you. I was going to send the posse over to your house to see if you were stinking up the place. I'm also starting to wonder about Tom, long time no hear from him either

    Ooops, wrong quote. Meant to be: No...you replace the stock "spring isolator" with the spacer...the stock isolator is only about 1/4" thick. Knock it off about the A/C, I turned mine off for the winter and doubled my HP, lol.

    That's a commonly held belief...but not true of Isuzu.

    Our lower spring perch is formed to accommodate the end of the coil, so it doesn't rotate. The top of the spring is ground flat, to fit the upper perch...

    Peruse this for more clarity...

    ...I ain't dead or nuthin'....but I STILL stink up the place...

    Didn't know that. I always thought both ends of the compression spring were ground flat. So the OEM spring is not??? I have after-market springs I don't recall for sure but I think they were flat? Not from Cal Mini or OME. Have you tried spraying your pits with WD40 it works well as an after shave too. Heheheh!

    (eat the lice & ticks, they're high in protein...& if you get the right one, you'll be tripp'n balls for about seven hours)
