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 )

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 ;)

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 ;)

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
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one :-(
