Hi all,

Just registered today.

My toy is a '93 Isuzu MU 3.1 TD torsion bars wound up with calmini extended shackles on the rear, snorkle, uhf, bull bar, cibie super oscar lights. If anyone can tell me how to post photos I'll stick a couple up.

My name is Dave and I'm from WA. I have a 92 Jackaroo with a 3.1 TD. So far its pretty much stock as I've only had it a couple of weeks, So far it has got a new CD/MP3 player, CB, and a set of Rallye 4000 FF Compact Spotties.

Planning to fit new shocks, snorkel, air compressor, front locker and homemade rear shelf/draws.

It drives great, good on fuel. its done 400,000kms and the engine 75,000 (water pump failure killed the old one) no problems so far.

hello all

I am new to this site and have read previous posts in the forum before signing up when we started rebuilding our 1988 jackaroo engine.

I thank members here as some posts have been very helpful.

If I knew how to upload photos to this forum I would post pic's of our beast who looks very sad at the moment in pieces Crying or Very sad

I joined this site as we are now stuck with this rebuild and We are tired of receiving responses from mechanics in the real world of our local area who shy, cringe or ark up when the word Jackaroo is mentioned.

nice to meet you all Smile
