Isuzu Trooper - Desert Exploration 

There's something about these trucks I missed...the simple yet elegant box styling...and the name Trooper. Wow!

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.

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.

This vid is great just goes to show you dont need a modified rig to get out on the tracks

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!

Ohh, the sound of this flute always hits a soft spot..

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.

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.

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!

I have a 2003 Trooper LS 3.1 Turbo Diesel....best Diesel motor ever....no oil burning nothing....

nice vid cody

nice vid!!!!

i wish it had better gas mileage so i can daily drive. this is a beautiful utility at an excellent price

you got one new subscriber haha nice video mate. year 2013 what cam are you using to film this video?

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?

I just cranked my torsion bars.

Did they sell these turbo diesels in the US?

i have the trooper 1999 its good truck

افضل سياره شفتها في حياتي دق وبس

i have this car and its the best :)

what year trooper is this and what options?

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

What year and model was the Jeep those springs came out of?

Where is this video being shot?

Ho much prac

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.

Where is this?????

Does your 3.5 burn oil?

Пиздатая у меня всё таки тачка

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

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.
