Dual ARB lockers. I think 5.38 gears. This sucker is slow! 38.5 swampers. Coil overs in the front and I think a highly modified stockish rear setup.
The stock wheel base is around 98", but Michael has bummped it to around 101-102.
He had it built by some crazy ARCA guys shop in NV. I'm sure MW will chime in with the rest of the goodies.
Just about nailed it. The rear is a complete redesign 3-link with a "wye" on top. The Sway-A-Ways are 16 in front and 12 in back. Running triple rate (dual plus keeper/tender coils) springs. The ring and pinions are 5.13 giving me 370:1. Dual ARB's. The frame is all Isuzu. 2x3 box ladder frame. Let's see, Howe racing Toyota IFS steering gear box, Howe TJ high output power steering pump, Howe remote resevoir with filter, Roggy Enterprises High Steer, TSM disk brakes for the 70 with Eldo parking brake. Ron's custom pumpkin catcher masks. Possibly a Taco master as the trow is slightly longer than the Isuzu master. I think that's it. Oops, they are building a custom prerunner/ARCA styled winch mount and nerfs similar to All Pro. The exo-cage will come next.
The company that makes Toyota trannies (Asin/Seiko) also makes Isuzu trannies. Fortunately they elected not to change much from one bell housing to the next so the bolt pattern is identical from a 3.5L Isuzu to the R15x series of trannies. The only customization was running the Taco input shaft because it's longer than the stock R150 input which was too short and machine a little off of it as it was just too long. So virtually a complete bolt up.
