“The Isuzu Trooper, with just a little more polish...”

★★★★★

written by lightfoot on 14/09/2005

The Isuzu Trooper, with just a little more polish could have been one of the best SUV's of all time..So close..We (in the States) never had the opportunity to purchase the later diesel's.."They" claimed that we wouldn't buy them...(Must have been the Oil Companies Claim). Just take a look on review sites at the owners ratings of the Trooper's here in the States, that's true to heart Ratings, not just a test that last's a small portion of a day. I have had other Isuzu's and liked them all. I now have one of the last 2002's, sorry to see them go..

“I have a 1990 SWB 2.8Tdi Trooper - she is absolutely...”

★★★★★

written by DieselFaerie. on 12/02/2003

I have a 1990 SWB 2.8Tdi Trooper - she is absolutely amazing. Despite having spent so much money on her, and now she is out of action with a bust front diff, I have very few bad words to say. She's been reliable, totally enjoyable, and is soooo good off road I am stunned. And the engine... is incredible. What more can I say? Rusty and expensive but I love it to bits. If you love it its worth the money.

I have a 1992 2.8Td SWB, it's running fine at the moment with 187K miles.
It needs a new clutch, locking hub, steering box and wheel bearing.
Its white rusty and my beast !!!!
I love it and EVERYONE thinks im mad!!!
Great on the road on off road.
They are less refined than the newer Troopers which makes them more rugged!
Keep on troopin!!

Yes get rid of those Autolockers as soon as you can!!!! Went off roading yesterday and a friend had his hubs break on him... I recommend AVM manual hubs, or given that you're in the US, Superwinch do some as well as Warn (I think)... Do a web search for Japanese 4x4 parts ,I am sure you will find some mail order place that can help you - don't buy from Isuzu!!!
<br>
<br>Have fun and as soon as it starts to be a money pit, sell it! I know from experience and Mikey too!!!!

I have just bought a 1990 Isuzu Trooper with the 2.8 liter engine. Other than it taking almost 12feet for the hubs to lock in, its great. Of course, I spent about 30 minutes rocking my way out of a muddy ditch low in a valley today. The hubs just wouldn't lock in. I guess I'll be buying some manual hubs. Does anybody know where I can find a good deal on parts for it?

Hiya... those prices sound okay, especailly if you're doing the work yourself!
<br>I gotta get me a new caliper - was the one you got new or recon? If new, I'd be interested to know where you got it from! Maybe Milner aren't the cheapest... but heres their details

<br>My email is [email protected] if ya want to talk more, cos we seem to be having a conversation on a public review board!!
<br>
<br>Not sure about rear door other than a scrappy... i have a big chunk angle grinded out of mine to try and stop the rust... it adds character!! :0|

Do you have a contact number for them????
<br>
<br>Just got a new caliper and discs.
<br>The pads fell out the left hand caliper and the caliper wore away the disc and its self.
<br>
<br>Caliper was £120 Discs £20 each.
<br>
<br>Took the gearbox off today... was very easy much easier than working on my mini!!
<br>
<br>I need a new rear door any ideas???
<br>
<br>Cheers,
<br>
