Bigger Gas tank!!!
I'm sick of my (now) 14 gallon tank!
I second that one. My '02 RS came stock with a 15.x gallon capacity. For whatever reason (suspension clearance?), this was reduced from previous years 17.9 gallon tank. If not a tank replacement, a bracket that would allow me to hold a 5 gallon Jerry can (or two) on the back spare tire mount would be nice.
Some smurf'd CV's and diff drop bracket's are high on my list when I decide to get more serious. I'd also like to see a solution for putting manual hubs on the '02 and newer Rodeo/Sport's.

http://www.4x4mountainsport.com has 5.13's and a speedo gear that can adjust to many different tire sizes.
When I pulled up that site, the Isuzu link just went to some pictures, the Accessories link listed tires, wheels and lights only...

I think the best is to email them, their site has changed since I last ordered from them.

alternator relocating kit
How about a relocation bracket for the alternator to move it up under the air intake on the right side, then turn the stock alternator position into a “York” style mount. And of course make it for the 3.2/3.5’s. I would imagine the same setup would work for all the 2nd gen troopers, 2nd gen rodeos, and V-cross.

How about someone take a field trip to iceland. And get a deal going with them to scare the POOPOO out of some of the HEEP guys. I me get the flares in stock state side, Get there gearing, get there SAS plans and make a kitwith steering figured out and easy to get the rest of the toys. Like the ALLpros for yota. Come on guys. I know mountain sports would love a few g's a month in business. OR heck steal there plans and molds and mas produce. OK I didn't say that last part.

These are all well and good ideas people, but when it comes to actually laying down the cash for these items, if they aren't less than $100, the isuzu community doesn't have the best reputation for sustaining a niche market for isuzu products.

Based on who's stats?
Go call TeraFlex. When I talked to them about their plans to discontinue the t-case gears, the guy assured me they weren't going to because of the demand.
Talk to Matt Brown or Joe Darlington, too.
Maybe it's a chicken-before-the-egg sort of thing. If there were more products for Isuzu's, more people would buy them for wheeling and modding. I know I got pretty pumped when I first saw Calmini's web site...

I seem to recall dozens and dozens of emails going out to the OX guys, as far as I know, I am the only IFS isuzu with an Ox locker... interest fell apart after I got mine installed. I still swear by it though, I love it!

It becomes hard to suss out the true reason behind low market -- for instance, in this case, is it that Isuzu owners are cheap, or that other solutions exist that are more attractive? Tough to say -- and please don't hear that as a slam to Ox. I've met their staff at SEMA, and watched them handle a staffer's issues with his Ox in a straight-forward, above-board professional fashion -- IMHO, they handled some of the initial bugs that they had with a handful of lockers by responding well with support and improving the designe for ALL of their lockers (not just the few with problems).
Back to discussing what I'd like to see vendors produce... a hydraulic-assist kit (hoses, cooler, steering box, ram, and brackets) for an Isuzu would be quite nice, and would probably generalize nicely across most Isuzus with the standard center-link, with only minimal mods required to fit an SAS that uses the Isuzu steering box.
It would also be cool to come up with a somewhat affordable means of fitting locking hubs to late-model Rodeos that use the splined-and-nutted CV. This could get costly fast, tho.
