I've seen 3 SAS Rodeos for sale in the last month. You may consider buying one of those, or least go look at them for ideas. There is an Isuzu forum in Utah; don't know the addy but google for them as they can help you out for more specifics i'm sure.

Ask about the isuzu tcase doubler; few people know about it and it won't be mentioned in any 4x4 rags.

I would pick up all the parts from a matching year, trans, t-case, drivelines, cv's, hub parts. Make sure the brakes are the same, along with matching front and rear gears. Dont forget the shifters, console, boots, etc, from the interior.

It would be worth having a complete donor right there so you can pick up the small parts you may have overlooked.

ya i planed on buying the whole car but wanted to ask the guy to make sure all the parts were in decent shape and not broken after the wreak what you just told me helps out a lot any chance of you being more specific as to exact names on the parts so i can tell him thank you very much
these are the things i know year, trans, t-case,shifters,

And theses i need more specific drivelines, cv's, hub parts, matching front and rear gears and console for the int.
