A Rodeo in Mickey's Hot Tub

[fitchhollister]

You're doing it wrong! :-)

[Operationsheep]

You have ballsss

[xionicwaste]

why did you run it backwards?

[mmbantz]

@xionicwaste because we had already come around on the trail, with a sight-seeing rig right behind me. just decided to make a left and drop in. it's an obstacle - no real forwards or backwards to it...

[JeffieRitchie19]

5 people drive jeeps!

[2008nismo]

So did it come with a moonroof?

[mmbantz]

@2008nismo Yup, stock moon roof on a '93 Rodeo.

[2008nismo]

@mmbantz that sucks :( mines a 91 and no moon roof lol

[lhrado]

nice :-)

[mmbantz]

@lhrado thanks :-)

[IdRatherBeOutRiding]

What do you do when it gets completely stuck in the hole?

[mmbantz]

@IdRatherBeOutRiding winch out?

[bdg909]

i liked how the guy stood in front of the truck wavin him in ,good stuff

[NemoPhotoInc]

sounds like u need a pthfinder. * Squeak,,,,squeak*

[mmbantz]

@NemoPhotoInc i've actually since sold the rig and gone on to an Xterra. i don't need a unibody 4-wheeling rig (like the more recent pathfinders) thankyouverymuch

[BubonicPlague88]

@mmbantz That's why I like my Amigo for the trails. 5-speed, manual lock hubs, D44, Fully boxed frame, short wheel base, lol. PERFECT rig for playing in.

[BubonicPlague88]

I agree with bnsdesign, the other way is freaking nuts. Scary though, dropping at such an incline. ;) I give him balls for that at least

[benjammin8807]

i have tht exact rodeo except i dont got a sunroof thts not fair!!

[bluejacketsman86]

that was good work on behalf of the driver and the spotter. and the killer Isuzu of sourse :-)

[chomas001]

nice...Climbing removed the 4WD and stayed only in 2wd ... is that correct?

[mmbantz]

@chomas001 Nope - I came in unlocked in the front (rear Detroit, front D44 with an ARB) and engaged the ARB to climb out since I got off-line a little bit. Keeping everything locked going in puts way too much stress on every u-joint you've got...

[freddymink]

Wow!

Isuzu are a legendary cars, i have a trooper 88

[noeltheshemale]

Ha ha! " The other right". Amazing. never knew rodeos were that capable. What was that buzzing sound right before he made it up? Air locker?

[utahstixx3]

what year is your rodeo?

[TheZipperMuffin]

@utahstixx3 95 roughly

[foftviper]

damn... thats all i got to say lol

[betito1030]

Hey were did you get that front bumper? and how much was it?

[Balowin]

Where ccan you find lifts<brush guards and shit for a 97 honda passport?

[MrPrecisini]

Nice drive !

[samnelso]

People who use 'right' and 'left' need to start using 'driver' and 'passenger'

[VindicatedNinja]

"A little right... more right... your other right..."

[chomas001]

@VindicatedNinja jaja



[bnsdesign]

He went down the hard part and up the easy part....it's all backwards!  It's totally different the other way around.

[mmbantz]

@bnsdesign what wasn't too clearly shown in the video was the moment the rear axle left the ground. so... "easy" could be a relative term

[sweepfire4000]

is the engine stock?

[metroII]

Nice!!!

[samisim0]

nice...

[NHsk8r74]

Love it!!!! I got a 94 Passport, mildly modified, and she's done some things people can't believe. Of course I'm running out of zip-ties and duct tape to hold her together LMAO

[GRIZZLEYPRODUCTIONS]

that was sweet!

[godzillaisnuclea123]

get a landrover

[mmbantz]

Right! While I've always wanted an old-school 'Rover to wheel, I'm seriously lacking on enough tools and electronics experience to keep it running to the mailbox and back.

Thanks for your awesomely helpful comment!

[strofimios]

+100000000000

[zjbeast]

@mmbantz Get a toyota prius lol

[mmbantz]

@zjbeast ...uh, sure? or something?

[brent1100]

haha shit man thats crazy

[dinan776]

very nice job...i remember when i did this in my jeep...it was so exciting!

[sherman4970]

Nice job in a nice truck!

[campcraft]

Nice job!!

But you ran it backwards

[DJWYTEBOY]

how did yyou lift it?

[mmbantz]

long story short: cut off the front suspension down to the frame rails, put a '75 wide Dana 44 Chevy axle in and an '84 14-bolt Chevy in the rear. 100% homegrown lift...

[DJWYTEBOY]

what year is the isuzu? I got a 95

[lorenzo816]

you should get on Planetisuzoo bro. Join us.

[4x4Explorer]

that exit had me going there... didnt think hed make it

[mmbantz]

If you notice, I had to stop to engage the front locker.

But made it. :-)

[4x4Explorer]

sweet dude.. ive got a 92 myself.. tons of torque on low end.. auto also.. where does yours idle at? mines doing a good 500rpms.. kinda rough.. any ways to adjust idle?

[ivynenaacd]

Por eso amo mi RODEO!!!

[yvat2001]

fucking bad ass passports are the shit

[bachkrabbler]

I think there is no more IFS in the front!

[Philscbx]

Nicely Done. And no body scars.

[mlokoby]

hey how did you lift this i have the same year and the front has tortion bars did you use coils or just a big body lift

[sneider17]

rodeo rulezzzzzz!!!! =)

[naruto90123]

automatic's rule not manual

[sneider17]

automatic is for NOOBS

[MoabLOC]

never seen it done backwards like that, nice job man. especially in an isuzu.

[codeone1287]

my dad (dan MICK) was the first to do the Mickey's Hot Tub and in reternd named it. some one would have done it eventualy. and named it somthing else

[offroadranger4x4]

what mods do u have on your rodeo?

[spudz101]

WOOOW!! AMAZED

[gorillahumpr]

Check out my passport jump vid. Click on gorillahumpr. Passports are far tougher than people think.

[TDFlyboy89]

omg! I have a '95(.5) passport (same car) and I felt proud when i saw this.. and a little amazed that your stock spare tire holder could hold that big of a tire.. most guys have to get one custom made.. Good job though man!

[ir0nmaiden13]

that's pretty sick. I'm buyin a rodeo wednesday, 32 inch offroads on it, and a 3 inch body lift.

[RikLUV]

This is Nice

[acousticfunk]

I never knew a rodeo could do that, is the lift a suspension, body or both? either way whoever did it is an artist

[charjohnnie]

that was so good, is that because it is a isuzu rodeo?

[lukosrage]

Thats Insane, and cool.

[mikeinwaikato]

Good one, and a LWB too!

[samvoiceman]

NICE JOB MAN!

[preidstar]

Brutal!

[campcraft]

You went in the out side and out the in side! Try going the opposite direction!

[bdrunner89]

x2, but that's a fairly wild wall to drop down if you ask me. I've been in that tub a few times.

[rusty2407]

that is sick, where did u get ur lift kit?

[mmbantz]

Funny - someone asked me that once. "Lift kit" doesn't even begin to describe...

It's all 100% custom. You can see pretty much all the gory details at:
