...exactly where is "Big Rock, Fla" ??

I've been all over Florida and I must have just passed that sign without noticing it! I've been to "Big Hill, Fla" near Orlando, but that was all just "Big Talk" 'cause it was only 12-feet above sea level!

Nice dreams, though!!  

They is not a place i was being sarcastic . just making fun of the rock crawling here in fl. not meaning it's not cool they are some bad trucks. it might have been in bad taste but could not resist them needing some help on a NISSAN story. not every body belongs to a club. to me it turns into politics .and hardly see anthing on nissan and i know theirs going to be some smart a-- remarks about them but im a open minded person i like them all any body that puts as much time and money in somthing  is worth respecting.  

I was being sarcastic too dude!  I live in Fla. Ain't no rocks here!, only at the quarries, and they get picked up and shipped to fancy garden centers accross the country as soon as they're found. There's a brisk business! -  rocks for sale in Florida! Some go for hundreds of dollars I've seen at these garden places.

I can't say much on the Nissans. I got no experience with them, and no one I know owns one (trucks). The only experience I got with Nissan is with their crappy little cars we used as company cars at one place I worked. This was just after they went from being Datsun to Nissan. I rear-ended a flatbed wrecker in the rain one day at 5-mph. Slid right into him when he locked up his brakes in front of me. I was shocked when the hood folded like a taco at 5-mph! The highway cop even said to me " I know you weren't speeding, these cars always fold up like Pepsi cans". I'm just glad I didn't hit anything at speed, or I wouldn't have made it.

I would hope their quality has improved since. I'm not bashing your brand here, just going on personal experience.

We don't have much rocks around here in the panhandle either. just some limestone in the fields and along the river. I don't know to much about the nissan cars. A freind and i  took a old datsun truck and put a homemade body lift and some little 31x10.5's on it . we set the front 2" higher and wheeled it and a toyota for a few years they were alot of fun. I had a 94 hardbody with a trailmaster lift and 33's , 3.0 v6 with a MSD ing. traction bars by trailmaster 4.88 gears . I run dogs for 5 years went just about every where and jumped some small sand hills and the only things i had to replace in 179,000 miles was the upper ball joints and lowers ,a starter. this titan is the 3'rd one if it does like the hardbody and last as long i will be happy. i had a simaliar wreck in a chevett it done about the same as the nissan car you were in. and i hope the little story i wrote to the mag. did not hurt yours or anybody elses feelings. iwas not putting down any trucks .  

There are several Isuzu clubs/forums that I know of, and several of those have active Nissan forums as well.

Probably best known is 4x4Wire.com, and somewhat lesser known is Planetisuzoo.com <yeah, it's actually spelled that way>.

International Trooper Owners Guild was a great site back in the '90's but seems to be abandoned, except for the "for sale" and "wanted" threads, which remain active.  Despite that, there is a wealth of Isuzu tech info there, at ITOG.com.

Europe and Australia have active Isuzu clubs and forums as well, though the trucks are known by different names, such as Opel, Vauxhall, Jackaroo, etc. 

There's also an active Isuzu club in Brazil, which is cool.

OK well here is ours.
