Sometimes, it’s impossible to put into words the impression that something leaves on you.
One of the very first vehicles I encountered at the SEMA Show was also one of the most unexpected. Parked almost directly beneath the monorail track outside, right on the corner of a group of cars, was a 1993 Isuzu Transporter.
For the briefest of moments, in my jet-lagged state, I was transported to Daikoku PA in Yokohama, Japan, such was how visually loud the transporter was within its surroundings. That’s saying something at SEMA, too.
The custom work beneath the lairy wrap has been well documented by our friends at Stanceworks, but it is considerable and certainly not accidental.
Its ground-scraping clearance is courtesy of Air Lift Performance’s 3H system, which automatically compensates for the load on the rear when a rogue 3S-GE-powered Hachiroku is loaded.
It’s difficult to put into words how something like this can make you feel. I mean, it’s a recovery truck, and it’s not something that I ever would have even considered before as even an option for a project.
But it’s these crazy, somehow humble builds, that inspire the most. While there isn’t much depth to this, I feel it’s just something that I had to share before heading back into the mayhem.
Let the hunt continue…

Ah! That's why you wanted a link.
Great photos Paddy!
YOU'RE WELCOME
Thanks!
don't know how to feel
Wow, i love it!
I need to find those spikey lug things for my camper.
I can imagine both of them stuck on speed bumper...
Ah, the Isuzu truck is LS swapped now, too
Not swapped - those Isuzu trucks came originally equipped with LQ4. Essentially a lower compression, iron block LS2.
It was swapped, because
1. LQ4 is from 1999 but that generation of NFR already end around 1995
2. he purchased a LQ4 + 4L80 & swap it, it's on his IG

"But it’s these crazy, somehow humble builds, that inspire the most. While there isn’t much depth to this"
Depth to the build or depth to your coverage of it? I am just asking for clarification because I think there is a lot behind this particular build and what he achieved.
The coverage, certainly not the build!

Now that's what's up. Saw this as I was driving to work, great shots!
all the metal work on the truck was done by Bob Grant at his shop Grant Kustoms.
Been following the owner/Builder, Myles, on instagram for a while, amazing build!

this definitely needs its own article
I feel like i'd love this at 20. Now i'd just be embarrassed.
I'm in my 40's and would drive this all day. I love the work done on it and man you sure could make some money picking up and delivering cars. New style Uber!
