After market stuff for Isuzu is very rare in Malaysia but still can source out from Thailand. What i did with the injector pump is changing the pump diaphragm and a bigger spring. I can tweak it up without any thick black smoke coming out from the exhaust.

Flairs are still available for LWB and SWB here. It cost RM900 for whole sets.

I need to know what's the small mirror on the left hand mud guard? Seems the Japanese imported vehicles have them.

My wizard has one further back, its so you can see the front corner of the truck for parking etc and so I don't run over small children
