Thread: should I expect the series 3 stage 1 Isuzu to move quickly in 1st high

Probably didn't explain myself well. Imagine sitting the window panel with the corners that curve from behind the doors to the back window underneath the back end of a regular hard top roof with it's 90 degree corner.

You end up with a roof overhang that looks odd and not aesthetically pleasing.

The fibreglass roof was basically a mould taken off a roof the same as 123Rover50's modification. Then you could pop out as many extra-cab bubble tops as you like. Just like fibreglass boats.

If it is only a paddock basher and you are not worried about road speed put some lower profile tires on it.
I agree they are geared high and if the idle is screwed up they can be a bit quick in first or reverse!


Cheers, Mick.

Judging by the way it shakes the vehicle I don't think idle is up - only smooths out when given a little throttle. Did think smaller tyres would slow thinks a bit, but not a priority, I'll learn to live with it. I'm hoping I can use it as a fire truck in the dry - 500 to a 1,000 kgs should slow it...won't it?
