I got a 92 model Jackaroo with 3.1 TD, I'm stoked with it, good little bus, not bad on fuel (will be better when leak is fixed) and it goes pretty good, spanks my brothers 2005 3.0 TD Rodeo :D

[robstroop]

Awesome! yeah i reckon the isuzus are under rated i have had mine for 25000 Ks and has never failed to start, in that time ive only had one mechanical prob, had to replace the alternator.:thumb:

[talon]

Just came back from a holiday in New Zealand (bro) and discovered that the Jackaroo over there is the Isuzu BigHorn. I suppose its one of the only times a Kiwi can say they have a BigHorn.

[KRUZIN]

your saying you got worse fuel economy after fitting a zorst??

sound s a bit strange, what motor mate?

[robstroop]

yeah good one (there are bighorns over here to! i nicked named mine "third leg") i not much of a "bro" more of a man ha ha and i welsh blood (Is that worse? ha ha) i envy you guys ya got so much room to play with. mind you we got more mud! old forestry roads are my main playground, they take out the pine trees replant and dont use the tracks for years letting rain turn them into awesome tracks -deep ruts, high ridges, mud holes it all good.:thumb:

[robstroop]

yeah the exhaust did raise the gas milage a bit not sure how much never measured it could be that it bit more powerful so i use it bit more dunno the snorkel helped level it out.

the engine a 2.6 four cylinder petrol 4ZE1 the model.
