I saw this question on the LSD thread. Hiniwalay ko lang.

My opinion is "it's not a good idea". Kasi ang resale value ng fuego or isuzu mo (pre-fuego series ba yan) will severely depreciate.

The best bet mo ay to sell it as-is and dagdag ka na lang to get a bago or 2nd hand na tunay na 4x4. Maganda pa naman ang selling price nyan. Basta isuzu pick-up, it fetches one of the highest re-sale price.

However, kung talagang serious ka to do the mods, it would probably cost you at least P15K sa labor. Ang parts depende, kung front IFS like the modern 4x4 fuegos at least P25K siguro ang chop-chop nito na front and rear diff assembly. Kung straight front axle mas mura ng kaunti. Bibili ka pa ng transfer case (minsan kasama na dun sa diff assembly - paki-usapan na lang sa chop-chopan). At least a P50K budget siguro all-in na.

Ang mahirap lang dito ay dapat magaling ang shop na gagawa para properly aligned ang trabaho.

Wala ka pang diff-lockers, after-market suspension and all the other goodies. That's another BIG amount (say the least P45K).

E kung idagdag mo na lang ung P50K sa selling the 96 isuzu mo baka me makuha ka na na better 4x4 na second hand.

Ang advise sa akin nung 4x4 shop na kilala ko, ang okay iconvert to 4x4 ay yung mga sasakyan na pangit na ang resale value....like the 4x2 na mazda B2200 series....murang-mura na kasi ang resale....kaya if you convert it to 4x4 mas nag-aapreciate pa ito kahit papaano.

just my 2 cents.
