1986 Isuzu Trooper 2 door with 2.3 liter 4 cylinder with 5 speed manual. Paint in decent shape, no dents, rust. It has new shocks, tires, and front suspension parts. Interior great shape, 172,000 miles & runs great.
I've been pondering on CJ5 or Isuzu Trouper for a year. The CJ's I ran across have been butcher up or engine transplants. I wanted something stock, but with some modification's "I" would do as of suspension upgrade nothing too extreme, carb change to a Weber & better exhaust. My old Cali hunting buddy had one & it was a reliable good hill climbing offroad rig. I like the idea of only a 2 door for the fact of a short wheel base. I like the idea of carb'd motor for the ease of working on it.
Has anyone have any experience with the Trouper as of a overland rig?
