  • Welcome to BLC Project: Isuzu | The Shakedown
    We bought this 1991 Isuzu Trooper to modify into a budget off-road vehicle to take us to remote fly fishing destinations.
    Our first fish to target: Native Cutthroat Trout in Idaho.
    For our first trip we wanted something to test the truck without getting too serious as we needed to put it through it's paces. This spot in Idaho was the perfect choice to head to and paired with the grasshoppers that time of year it was a no brainer!
    Tell us what you'd like to see us do with this Trooper! Where should we take it and what should the next upgrades be? Comment below!
    Like the Isuzu project and want to see more? We made some gear featuring the Trooper! 100% of profits goes to producing future BLC Project: Isuzu films. www.bluelineflies.com/

    I found your channel through Overland Journal. I am no kind of fisherman but I am a car nut especially when it comes to 4x4 offroad overland vehicles. The Isuzu build got my attention. In 1990 I worked at a Pontiac/Isuzu dealership in Honolulu. I sold these Troopers and was very impressed with the simplicity and utility of these rigs. I couldn't buy one at the time but was always planning on building one as an overland rig. My plan was to do the GM 3.8l V6 swap. You guys did a great budget build. You now have a new subscriber to watch your new rig. Who knows, I might be inspired to take up fly fishing!

    Great video as usual guys!! For a minor Steve has the best beard going!!! You need to work that into part of your merch since beards are the race. Great truck rehab and a trooper!!! Could have went a little heavier tougher guy on the front end, maybe get a winch on there especially if you guys are going to overland!! I would recommend mounting a good Jack and shovel on that bad boy and some tow hooks, light bar on the front of that basket to light the way. Great fish man they were pigs!!! Love getting away from everything and blue lineing!!! I have to say I miss the school bus adventures and the old crew but I get it people go different ways in life…. As long as you keep adventuring it’s good for us to watch!!! You guys always put out great content, excellent editing funny videos but why does Adam always drive?? Lmao!!!! Best of luck guys!!!! You should do a subscriber contest and take a sub fishing with you on each trip!!! No one is doing it, be the first!!! Cuz I want to roll with you boys just once in my life!!!!!
