Isuzu pickup race truck build.

[Shepherd]

Love your build.
Here Opel sold the Rodeo and the pickup version labelled as the Frontera and Campo.

...I used to track my parent's Frontera on the Nürburgring:

[Isuzupickup]

Haha that Opel SUV looks gnarly on the track. My friend actually just got the Go Pro hero 2 (I think it's called) Whatever the good one is, so expect some videos when it's done! I'll be back in the shop Monday to mate the motor and tranny. This is where I'm at now:

killing it man, we need more decent looking utes like that down here..
except those are a holden rodeo down here :P

[Isuzupickup]

Got back in the unit today and check this shit out! The motor is just resting in there for now. In a couple days I'll be mounting it in place and finishing up the motor. After that it's just a little fab work and wiring and then it'll be on the road. I miss driving it. ):

This is going to be awesome when its done. Are you going to shave the lettering off the valve cover?

[Isuzupickup]

Not at the moment, but I might have to. My friend's s14 KA-T has a shaved valve cover and it looks really good. It confused me at first. For now I'm just going to embrace the fact that I have double the cams and valves vs. my old motor, hahaha.

Truck looks awesome man! I see you all over the place in Tampa but never knew who you were. ka-t truck is going to be super fun, do you have any idea what your going to run for the turbo setup yet?

I agree they look really good shaved

This is so ill.

[Isuzupickup]

This is so ill.

Haha thanks man. Small update, my motor is 95% complete, and the harness is plugged in to the motor. The fucking idler cam bolt was stripped, and 3 auto parts stores didn't sell the helicoil for that thread pitch, so I ended up using a slightly coarser bolt for the time being. It's torqued almost to spec, but when it comes back out it'll get a helicoil. I just want this thing back on the road! I miss riding ignorantly low.

I've been in a 4x4 5.0 lately, don't get me wrong, it's fun as hell. It just ain't the truck. I actually had the choice of that car or keep my truck when I graduated high school, but I kept the truck. (it'll be my little brother's ride in a few months.)




Me and my boy at Arby's thuggin' shit out. He actually got the bumper back on and dropped it some more a few days after.

Yeah I stay in da streets of trigga city. Hahaha. I'm probably going to run a stock sr turbo on about 7 psi and hopefully build a bottom end on the side for more nastyness. i'd like to rn the mild setup and then try to get the truck on coilovers first.

Also the truck should be home this week! So stoked.

[NorCalFocus]

Burn out videos ASAP.

[Isuzupickup]

Alright so due to some things that my friend had to take care of, I'm finishing the project at my house. The motor and tranny are mounted. Now it's just all the things to get her running.

[DragginWagon]

Sick sick sick build. I love little trucks. That kade will make that thing so much faster, i know in my old s13 sliding it was no problem.
Keep at it!

[brsteinbach]

Still waiting to see it run! I love this truck.
