they were very well equipped from the factory too. compare a base model trooper to a base model jeep product of the time period and the trooper will always kick butt! Also fully boxed frame, limited slip, powerful motor. they are pretty sweet!
Cody, Thank you so much for all the great information on your Isuzu Trooper. I worked putting on events for the American Isuzu Motor Crop. of El Monty Ca. We did what we called the Isuzu Lift-A-Truck contest at many car shows and some Muscle Expos. We would remove the rear bumper and add an olympic bar where the bumper would be. The strongmen would like the truck of the ground for time. The winner would get $500 to $1000 cash from Isuzu Corp...... I have owned Isuzu vehicles from Pups, space cabs, trooper's. I now have a 1998 Trooper fro my fitness business. After reading your information on installing springs from the front of a V8 jeep in the rear of my trooper. I will be sending you photos soon. Again thank you! My Name is Mike Glass of Mike Glass Productions(R) Since 1977. I am on face book.
MIkeGlassProductions Glad I could be of help! you should join the group on facebook called : ISUZU TRADER. just serach for it, its the most helpful page ever. i have added another 2 inches of lift to my trooper, bigger tires, winch, ARB bumper, and a snorkel since this video! this is what it looks like currently: ruclips.net/video/cPrXbaHDzo0/видео.html
У меня Исузу Бигхорн в 69 кузове. Дизель 3,1. Сколько смотрю разных видео про этот авто всегда поражает одно. НИКОГДА, даже в самой непролазной грязи или песках или на подъемах НЕТ РЕВА ДВИЖКА!!! Он ВСЕГДА прет на средних оборотах. И только изредка может РЫКНУТЬ как недовольный Лев!)) Обратите на это внимание.
clips from this video were gathered from around Gallup, NM. North of town are the more rocky desert areas. And the areas on the red rocks are east of town near Red Rock State Park. thanks for checking it out!
It's a fun area, There are lots of interesting little places around the southwest. the trooper... is a trooper! it will get through anything! My oil burning problem is getting worse though. I'm starting to see smoke (the CAT is probably pretty roasted). I have 164,000 miles. I'll keep it topped off with oil for the meantime. Considering rebuilding my motor and fixing the issue, or getting a rebuild from a 2002 troop. i just with isuzu got their dang motor right. other than that it's solid!
Mine burns oil too. All Isuzu's burn. My 88 burned, my girlfriends 97 trooper burns, and my 98 burns a quart every 150 miles! the problem is the drain back holes in the rings, the issue was fixed in 2002. there are a few pages on planet isuzu forums with ways to keep your motor clean and try to slow down the burning. nothing has really worked for me though, i just need a rebuild. with more drain back holes! either pistons from a 2002 or have them drilled with a drill press on your current ones.
Cody Shell yea that kinda gas mileage would bother me lol. It’s a beautiful truck though, reminds me of the land cruiser with the shape and size. If it had better gas mileage I would definitely pick one up and keep it for a long time!
No. I used to live in the US but I recently moved to the Dominican Republic. My Trooper was imported from the Philippines. It has a 4JG2 engine. Go on Google and Wikipedia Isuzu Trooper. You'll see all the versions they have.
Looks like a great place for the Trooper. I have a stock '99... interesting beasts aren't they? There are things I want to improve, other things that annoy me about it (or make me worry about repairs, costs...) but damn it surprises me with what it can climb and go through also. Where is this video shot? What size tires? Are you in 4 high or 4 low on the rocks? 4high on the sand?
***** No worries! It gave me about 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. It's cheaper than OME springs! I like them more than spacers because they are stiffer. All you have to do is grind the little pigtails off on the springs. of course the front is super easy to lift. Crank the torsion bars and get an alignment
yeah, it burns a ton of oil. its so bad i'm burning a quart every 125 miles. i'm thinking of getting my motor rebuilt soon. i have consider swaps, but havnt really come across many people who have done swaps.
Freddie Lopez It was a little pricey, $3,000. But that was becasue I kept my old motor (it still ran) the core on that was $500. the motor came with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty. it seemed like the best option
fahad alfahad They are great! If you are on facebook you should consider joining the groups ISUZU TRADER and Holden Jackaroo/Isuzu 4x4 (search those and you'll find them) -- these groups have a lot of good resources and some good people to talk to if you ever need any help with anything.
this trooper is a 1998. They are great trucks. if you are going to get one make sure you check how much oil it burns. mine drinks oil. look for one up to 1997, and a 2002. dont get a 1998, 99, 00, or an 01. bad motors.
Cody Shell not a bad motor per say. any all aliluminim morors go thru oil. my 98 is an Acura slx,,.169k burns 1.5 quarts every 3k miles. thank my friend!
to all of you that use this model trooper don't go over 3000 rpm use no smoke sticky stuff and your trooper will stop drinking oil like crazy you will more or less make 2000 miles and use only 1/2 q of oil
what is no smoke sticky stuff? it's hard to keep it at low rpms all the time, especially with all the power that the 3.5 has. but i have noticed that if you keep it down the consumption is less
im sure its your baby and you didn't want to wreck it but ill tell ya you can absolutely burn things down to the ground (metaphor for recklessly driving like a crazy person at unsafe speeds) and they don't give one singular shit. on my may long I spent the weekend at the bogs ripping through 4 feet of mud, scrambling up steep loose gravely hills, burning 100+ kilometers an hour over sand dunes, smashing my own path through tight forests, sending it over huge jumps and at the end of it all ramming mercilessly it through old camping trailers and boats at a local dump and it still refused to die. it was one hundred percent stock. just saying dude.
There's something about these trucks I missed...the simple yet elegant box styling...and the name Trooper. Wow!
they were very well equipped from the factory too. compare a base model trooper to a base model jeep product of the time period and the trooper will always kick butt! Also fully boxed frame, limited slip, powerful motor. they are pretty sweet!

This vid is great just goes to show you dont need a modified rig to get out on the tracks
Ohh, the sound of this flute always hits a soft spot..

i wish it had better gas mileage so i can daily drive. this is a beautiful utility at an excellent price
At the worst I'll get 12 mpg, at best I'll get 19. Not the worst but could be better. Adding manual hubs to the front end helped my mileage the most
Cody Shell yea that kinda gas mileage would bother me lol. It’s a beautiful truck though, reminds me of the land cruiser with the shape and size. If it had better gas mileage I would definitely pick one up and keep it for a long time!

I have a 2003 Trooper LS 3.1 Turbo Diesel....best Diesel motor ever....no oil burning nothing....
the best engine
nice vid cody
I just got a 2000 trooper its a nice suv other than it burn oil like a mofo. Anyone know how to fix this issue
Looks like a great place for the Trooper. I have a stock '99... interesting beasts aren't they?

you got one new subscriber haha nice video mate. year 2013 what cam are you using to film this video?
What year and model was the Jeep those springs came out of?
came out of the front of a 99 grand cherokee i think .
Cody Shell Thanks for the quick reply! How much lift did those coils give you? You recommend going that route instead of using coil spacers?
***** No worries! It gave me about 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. It's cheaper than OME springs! I like them more than spacers because they are stiffer. All you have to do is grind the little pigtails off on the springs.
of course the front is super easy to lift. Crank the torsion bars and get an alignment
nice vid!!!!
Does your 3.5 burn oil?
yeah, it burns a ton of oil. its so bad i'm burning a quart every 125 miles. i'm thinking of getting my motor rebuilt soon. i have consider swaps, but havnt really come across many people who have done swaps.
Cody Shell don't go over 3000 rpm add some no smoke sticky stuff add drop in k&n filter and it wil serve you for long time
I put a re-manufactured motor in it over the summer and doesnt burn anymore! haha.
Cody Shell how much for the new engine?
Freddie Lopez It was a little pricey, $3,000. But that was becasue I kept my old motor (it still ran) the core on that was $500. the motor came with a 3 year unlimited mile warranty. it seemed like the best option
Did they sell these turbo diesels in the US?
I just cranked my torsion bars.
what year trooper is this and what options?
i have this car and its the best :)

Where is this video being shot?
i have the trooper 1999 its good truck
this trooper is a 1998. They are great trucks. if you are going to get one make sure you check how much oil it burns. mine drinks oil.
look for one up to 1997, and a 2002. dont get a 1998, 99, 00, or an 01. bad motors.
Cody Shell not a bad motor per say. any all aliluminim morors go thru oil. my 98 is an Acura slx,,.169k burns 1.5 quarts every 3k miles.
thank my friend!
Where is this?????
north west New Mexico, near a town called Gallup. Specifically north and east of Gallup in this video
Ho much prac
to all of you that use this model trooper don't go over 3000 rpm use no smoke sticky stuff and your trooper will stop drinking oil like crazy you will more or less make 2000 miles and use only 1/2 q of oil
what is no smoke sticky stuff?
it's hard to keep it at low rpms all the time, especially with all the power that the 3.5 has. but i have noticed that if you keep it down the consumption is less
no smoke oil treatment on google use cheapest it works and under 3000 rpm is must
i will look into it!
im sure its your baby and you didn't want to wreck it but ill tell ya you can absolutely burn things down to the ground (metaphor for recklessly driving like a crazy person at unsafe speeds) and they don't give one singular shit. on my may long I spent the weekend at the bogs ripping through 4 feet of mud, scrambling up steep loose gravely hills, burning 100+ kilometers an hour over sand dunes, smashing my own path through tight forests, sending it over huge jumps and at the end of it all ramming mercilessly it through old camping trailers and boats at a local dump and it still refused to die. it was one hundred percent stock. just saying dude.
