The air-box was the first thing done about 18months ago.... It does help for LPG but also allows fitting the 3.1 snorkel easier.
There's more... _________________ Frank |

Twin battery setup is new and the black bracket....
Its my new 90A 3.1 diesel alternator mounted on the top of the engine
Hopefully this will stop the failed alternators I get every time I go offroad! _________________ Frank |

Quick update -
Took the trooper laning in the lakes this weekend and the new alternator works great - even when wading
The 3 wire alternator is easy to wire in as the colours of two wires match and the third wire is a sense wire that goes onto the battery terminal. The voltage is much more constant - doesn't seem to sag even with everything electrical on. I am yet to test it with my winch but am hopeful I will get much improved performance! _________________ Frank |

Seriosly toying with the idea of a V6 as a play truck ... especially as I have a complete V6 compatible multi point LPG system in the garage.
This looks like a good modification to make. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

The V6 is good and reliable off-road (I haven't had problems with it apart from the alternator) but it is a bit heavy on fuel. My single point LPG works OK - it would be nice with a multi point as you suggest
They are cheap too as nobody wants gas guzzlers anymore _________________ Frank |

Yeah ... been looking. You can get them for sub £1000 in fairly good nick. Insurance ain't bad even with modifications. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition
