Seems like those clever peeps in Thailand are onto something:

I want that lift kit Lisa wants it too ( and the lift kit )

[RatCav]

Sorry buddy I can only provide one or the other. I cannot afford a lift kit.......

All i can say is YES PLEASE SANTA!!!!!!!!!!

[geeks]

Looks way cool!

[mudman1988]

Hmmmm 2.8 shorty + 7" lift + 35" tyres = happy happy happy........

I'm half way there

[mudman1988]

Just had a look and that 7" kit is 14,400 Thai Baht witch converts to £266.26......... I wonder how much import tax on that is?

[RatCav]

Hmm .. I might ask a question

[andytats]

Would we get a discount on a bulk order.
But I can't do anything at the moment because I've just spend loads on new wheels the tyres ( they cost more then the truck did )

[RatCav]

Anything I spend on my Mk.I is more than I have spent on buying it .. including the sidelight bulb on my Halfrauds trade card

Anyways I am exploring my contacts

[gregster]

All that effort to still have IFS????

[RatCav]

Some of us don't have the tools, time, space, material, spare vehicles, spare parts etc to do anything other than buy bolt on kits. You find me a live axle kit that I could just bolt on without having to design/fabricate/weld onto a truck I might be interested

[fudge]

Uuuummmmm duck with 7"lift on the front and 10 on the back sounds good to me
And for that price (under 300) i could be interested

[furio]

Looks spot on!!!

OK .. I contacted them and got a response:

Trooper model BTV07S =2000 USD get disc 15% until the end of this year.
Courrier shipment is 520 USD
Total is 2220 USD
Lift kit come wiht shock absorber adaptor in set.
Best regards,
Pat

Works out approx £1500 with current conversion prices. Quite a bit, but food for thought.

That price you got earlier Mudman is for a tyre set

[mudman1988]

Oooops my mistake as you can tell Taiwanese is not my 2nd language lol

[gregster]

I think english is Chris....

And thats just the cost for the axle, without any of the other mods required!

There is an extensive thread on PlanetIsuzu that shows the Indy4x project Trooper being converted to live front axle. In fact IIRC there were a couple of guys on here that did a few live axle conversions many years ago, not sure what happened to them
