I was thinking exactly the same thing. My conversion looks like a team of blind monkeys did it compared to that job.

You finished already? pics?

Congratulations on an excellent job, I'm new to the Isuzu powered County too, having owned it for only ten days.But I've clocked up 2500 kilometres already,took it offroading,took it swimming down the river and generally driving around with a big grin
I'm averaging 9.5 - 10 litres per 100 which is very good I think,although I have no turbo fitted, yet

Can I ask you what type of roofrack you use ??? It's the first item I have to purchase for mine, I'm thinking possible rooftent, but mostly for carrying work related materials, timber,ladders etc.

Can anyone reccomend a good tyre and pressure set up also ??? that is suited to the extra weight upfront etc. thanks

I designed the sticker myself. The one in the picture below is my prototype. There is a sticker factory near where I work. I keep meaning to call in and see how much it would be to print some, maybe a couple of different versions for Turbo, Non-Turbo etc etc. And I presume there would be copyright issues with the Logos within it (not that I intend to sell them for profit)

My full length rack is an alloy TJM rack with the mesh floor. It was on the County when I bought it. Before I bought the rooftop tent it was always on and I've never had any problem with it.
The short rack in front of the rooftop tent is a rack I made up myself, mainly so I can carry a bit of firewood. It proved very handy on the trip we just did.

Asking about tyres is usually a can of worms, everyone will tell you something different.
At the moment I'm running Cooper ST's 255/85/16. Happy with them so far.

Will post some pics when I (eventually) get it back from the exhaust shop.



Rijidij - I would be interested in a sticker if you are getting some done.
edit - also - are you able to measure the thickness of your oil filter spacer?
