Description:
Isuzu Mu body with 3.2 V6 bighorn motor. I started this project on the 8th of August 2011 and had it ready for the Sheffield Mudplug on the 18th of September 2011. I withdrew, I hydraulic the motor. So on the 2nd of October 2011 we had a club champs so I decided to wreck the engine. I did all the events and on the very last obsticle that was a speed event I went hard to blow it up, but instead I rolled the truck. Check it out on youtube: Mu Rollover. Needless to say I can kick my own arse. So now I have to replace the engine and body.

Traction Aids: Front auto lokker and air lokker rear. 3:1 ratio gears in transfer case.
Bullbar:arb style front and rear bumpers
Spot lights and Lighting:N/A
Communications/GPS:N/A
Dual Batteries:N/A
Engine:3.2 v6 Isuzu

Others: In future rock sliders
and on the wish list... a winch.

bit of polish and noone will notice. Might need to tap a couple of dents with a hammer though.
Did you have a cage? How did the roof stay up or are you now a little shorter?
4wd mag used to do a how to check under your chassis photo. The last one would be a suitable entry
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
