Hi everyone my name is Jordan, and I am from Hamilton, NZ. I bought my first car 3 months ago for $900. It is a 4jb1 1993 Isuzu MU with 193,000km on the clock.
Was so cheap due to a broken cambelt, another cambelt kit and a set of rockers and pushrods and the truck purrs.
The truck runs very well, and I have it ready for the road yet I am still 3 months away from getting my learners.. Test drove it at a farm the other day with my dad and one other guy from the 4wd club, and really liked it. My family does alot of four wheeling, as my dad is part of the Cozzie Four Wheelers. Will eventually get modified for off road, with the basics such as tyres, snorkel and cb radio first on my list. Also for a project one day I would like to fabricate some brush bars and a winch mount/bullbar (any tips/ideas would be much appreciated).
Will add pictures as I do various things to it
Modifications and Accessories:
Suspension:Stock
Body Lift:0
Tyres/Wheels: Standard rims and road tyres
Traction Aids: (LSD, auto lockers or Air/electric lockers etc)Stock
Bullbar:Aliarc Nudge bar
Spot lights and Lighting: Factory but plan on adding roofrack mounted spotlights

Engine: 2.8td 4jb1
