GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!
I found that mountain sport site...and talked to Reynir Jossen he has sets of 5,38:1 R&P gears for the Isuzu 10 bolt in stock for $285.00 and $60.00 shipping. The only thing now is does anybody know FOR SURE that the Trooper 10 bolt is the same and the Rodeo 10 bolt?......GOT TO BE DEAD SURE! now the only bad thing is the deal with TERA, I would love to support a deal here in the U.S. but since this posting not alot of support has been shown by others. I know its the holiday's and all so i'm taking that into consideration for the lack of response. Just thought i'd pass along the news about "mountain sport" and let everyone know where they can get a good set of gears.
this was the email:Hey Guys,

Let me first off say, "what you are doing to the Isuzu Trooper is
AWESOME!" If I had the money I would love for you to build that new 44
you have on your web site for me in a heartbeat! Please keep up the
GREAT work. Well why I'm writing you is to find out if you can help me
with a problem I'm having. I wrote you a couple of e-mails a few days
ago and called trying to find out if you could or would sell me a set of
your 5,38:1 R&P gears for the front axle of a Isuzu Corp. 10 bolt? You
are my last hope. Some friends of mine on the OutdoorWire.com Isuzu
forum told me this is the place to go. I own a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4. I'm
looking to set it up with 35" tires. I wanted to get the max power back
to my engine once those big tires are on. There is no one here in the
U.S. that makes an aftermarket R&P gear set for the 10 bolt. I have a
Dana 44 in the rear and can get just about any ratio for that. I've been
told I need to match ratio's front and rear. I did the math and 5,38:1's
are what I could really use. Most of the guy's I know did an IFS to SAS.
I really don't have that kind of time and money to take on that task. So
when I heard you had the 5,38:1 ratio for the 10 bolt in a trooper, I
did some research and have been told that the Trooper and Rodeo 10 bolts
are the same. Finally a point in my favor. Only drawback is I couldn't
find anybody here to help me, even the dealers couldn't help, or didn't
want to help? So I guess I'm asking is, is it possible for me to
purchase a set of gears with that ratio from you? Please let me know
either way so I may continue to search if you cannot help. You can
contact me by e-mail, fax or phone at the following:

Thank you so much for taking the Isuzu to new heights. Its good to know
that somebody else out there really knows what these things are made of
and are willing to take the challenge to make them even better.

Thanks again,

This was the reply:

Hi James.

I am glad tha you liked our Troopers.
We have modyfied allot of Troopers from 1998 -2001 on 33",35" and 38" tires,
but only 1 on 44" tires.
That is my personal car, 2000 model and I have travell allot on it.

If you are sure that the gear set is the same in front of the Rodeo and the
Trooper
I have it avalable on stock
The price is 285 USD and shipping with UPS is around 60 USD.

Hope this will do for you this time.

Best regards,
Reynir Jonsson www.fjallasport.is www.4x4mountainsport.com

OH YEAH.......now don't get me wrong.....this is my back-up plan. if we can get TERA those deposits....I'm keeping it here. Never hurts to have a back-up though...
Food for thought.
