When I bought the Rodeo at the end of August

Looks alot different now huh

A motor swap is in the near future as well as other upgrades hehe

I was pretty surprised by the factory equipment on this truck. Dana 44 rear with 4-wheel disc's, full frame chassis, gear-drive transfer case (with true stick for shifting, no push button crap), surprisingly strong Isuzu 10 bolt front end, 4.30 gears. I was planning alot of mods coming up (tera-low t-case gears, new ring-n-pinion, diff drop, etc etc), but after this weekend I don't think I need them lol. I may add lockers to it and upgrade the cv-axle boots to some Mecatech's. If I keep the 3.2 I think I want to go up to 4.77 gears but I'm thinking either a built 4.3 or even a new Gen III V8 swap in the future, if I do that I think the 4.30's will be fine. I only had to switch out of 2hi to 4lo on a few very steep sand hills on the trail (not seen in the pics).
