A friend of mine went for a ride with Nick the other night and said it pulls amazing. The original plan was to keep it stock until a turbo started making unhealthy noise. This truck makes me want to buy something to play in the mud with soooo bad, and I could use it to tow my boat so I dont have to borrow my neibors truck anymore. PS Happy Birthday Eric :banana ---

A little update with my truck. I ended up blowing somehting in the motor, so it smoked like a bitch. I decided to swap in a 3.1 GM V6 into from another Isuzu I sold to a buddy of mine. I got the motor, trans, transfer case, and entire harness for the truck from the donor. I have to swap all the wiring due to the Amigo being made by Isuzu and the donor pickup being made by GM. Its a pain in the ass, but not hard to do. I plan on selling tohe turbo kit, trans, and motor to pay back for what I bought my truck back for. I just got the new V6 into it today. I want to put in a new rear main seal while its apart. So now I am waiting on parts to finish it up. Some pics… The 2.6L engine and trans out. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0618083jpg-7.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0618083jpg-7.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0618088jpg-10.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0618088jpg-10.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic06180810jpg-9.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic06180810jpg-9.jpg) The complete turbo kit out ready to sell 😉 ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0620084jpg-8.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0620084jpg-8.jpg) The donor 91’ Isuzu pickup.

Back from the dead! Took the truck out on a few trails the other day. Managed to get stuck only twice within the 4 hour trip. Picking up another amigo tomorrow for parts. Should be a nice turn out for low cost off roader ;D First time I got stuck on this damn set of 3 trees… ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0913085jpg-27.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0913085jpg-27.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0913086jpg-10.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic0913086jpg-10.jpg) Ended up leaving this hole. It took two 4x4 quads and a winch to get me off that tree. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130811jpg-28.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130811jpg-28.jpg) Next I decided to run through a feild of tall grass and clay. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130817jpg-25.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130817jpg-25.jpg) Got stuck again… ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130813jpg-26.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130813jpg-26.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130815jpg-9.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130815jpg-9.jpg) The poo clay in my rear wheels. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130820jpg-23.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130820jpg-23.jpg) Had to get out the skid steer to pull me out of this one. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130819jpg-24.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130819jpg-24.jpg) It was worse then it looks. ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130818jpg-29.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u147/reckone518/pic09130818jpg-29.jpg) We be updating this week when I start swapping over parts. ---
