    UPDATE!!!! The prototype is finished!!!!

    Well folkers, I am EXTRA pleased to say that my idea DOES work as promised!!!!

    Take a look at the snpshots...they speak for themselves!!!!

    Both pics are with swaybar removed....However i will snap a few more with the swaybar re-attached....

    Here is the flex BERFORE the Mod....



    And here is the flex AFTER the Mod...




    There is a BIG difference in the way the front suspension works, now...The front will now "stuff" one wheel into full compression BEFORE the rear is at max artic....THIS IS A HUGE BENEFIT FOR ALL IFS ISUZUS....

    The front now articulates BETTER than a live axle would (up to the point of suspension travel limitations)...Thats right, I said BETTER than Solid Front Axle....

    Heres Why it works...

    In the pics, as the front climes the obstical, the drivers side Torsen bar is now transfering the extra preasure (from compressing on the obstical) to the other sides Torsen bar...the Passenger side now has nearly double the spring rate as the Driver side....

    And of course, it works the same way when the other tire (passenger) climes an obstical, too....Kind of a self-leveling system...also, this puts a WAY more even amount of ground preasure on BOTH the front tires at all times!!!!

    For street use, I am incorperating a removable lock-pin that will revert back to OEM style opperation when in place...remove the pin, and it articulates like the best of em!!!!....

    I will be making a kit, avaiable soon for ALL isuzus! (Kits for other torsen bar vehicals will come later!)
