Owner: George Reiswig For some reason, Jeepers tend to laugh
at me when I show up at a difficult trail. I bought the Isuzu Amigo
new, based on how well it performed in the offroad tests that the
dealer didn’t know I had done. It came with 31x10.50 tires,
which have since been replaced with 32x11.50 BFG Moab MT’s. I
have also added a Warn 9000 winch...overkill, but I got it used for
$300. To keep up with the winch, I added a second battery. Shortly
thereafter, I figured out that an alternator from a Renault
Alliance would fit nicely on the AC mount, so I now have two
electrical systems, which can be switched together in parallel if
needed. Other modifications include (I’ll try to remember
them all):
 Crawling up a rather steep boulder field in
the Jones Creek OHV area, near Portland, Oregon. Crossing Jones Creek, in the Tillamook State
Forest, Oregon. Pulling out a stuck CJ-5 seemed to make my
truck feel better...maybe it made up for being laughed at by
Jeepers. I had to drive through the mud and around the Jeep to get
to this point. This is me starting into the mudhole where
the CJ-5 got stuck. Before the lift....yes, I got stuck on this
one, but it was the only challenging obstacle in sight! "Honey, can
I afford that lift now?" Gotta love body armor that
works!Back to The OFF-ROAD.com Features PAGE Brought to you by The OFF-ROAD.com WEB PAGE |
