It may be too late to get the drop brackets from DOR. It seems that Joe is closing up shop...Read it here! . Joe did a lot for the Isuzu community and hopefully will return!

Sad news, indeed

But it looks like Joe still has a few sets - so if you really want them, you'd better call him SOON!

SPAZZ makes a good point. I did the axle drop so I wouldn't have to keep doing the CV's. Once youre in there to do the CV's the axle is only a 4 more bolts (granted they are big and tight) so you might as well go for it. Or.. once you're in there redoing the axle, you might as well grease up and boot the CV's one last time. Plus, dropping the axle in a shop is alot easier than replacing CV's on a trail 300 miles from home.

A FYI addendum, I'm pretty sure Alaska VX ended up with Randys (Coach) not quite finished VXV8. FWIW

I can't wait to see that beast come to life one of these days.

208 is Idaho area code??? Darlington is on East coast.

But, I heard he gets the brackets modded or did from a guy here in Boise

Darlington is located in NC, but I think the number Joe uses is his cell phone, which could be an ID area code.

Hello everyone been a while. I had the drop brackets installed and while they do definately save some wear and tear on CV's I am still going through them. I am sitting about 3.5-4" higher and I have been thinking for a long time I need to back it down a bit and just trim more to make things the way I want them. If I was to do it over again I would go 2-2.5" of drop, that makes the crossmmember have to drop more as well but you will still have a TON of clearance.
