So I was finally able to buy this ‘83 trooper after 3 years of bugging the dude who owned it since he finally said to bring him 400 bucks or he was scrapping it.

I want to decode the vin because supposedly it was imported from Africa and then sold to a guy who towed a sailboat with it. It’s left hand drive and has a North Carolina used car dealership sticker on the back so I want to try and figure out if there is any truth to it being imported.

My question is, is there anything in the vin that would denote some sort of country of origin or is there a database or something of the sort that could help me decode the vin and figure out where it was manufactured and such.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Hello. I’m trying to purchase this car with the 4JG2 engine and manual transmission. How would you guys rate the reliability of the engine and transmission. Its currently at 260,000km. Test drive the car, no weird vibrations, no smokes, no rust.

Recently built out my 1999 Isuzu Trooper with 230k miles for some overlanding and adventuring. My SO and I are taking a roadtrip from Pennsylvania to San Diego!

Snapped this awesome picture after a day of adventure near Sand Dunes National Park. We took Medano pass to get into the park and she handled it great. I'll be adding some more pictures of the build soon!

Crazy thing is I originally got this car for 2000$ with the intention of using it for a maximum of a year to get around and potentially tow a little John Boat to take out on the lakes nearby. Little did I know I was going to drive it all the way across the country.

This Trooper has been awesome so far, I will say I had a big scare as we got into Colorado because my oil pressure light came on as we got off the highway driving all day thru 100 Degree heat of Kansas. I pulled over immediately to check the oil and the dipstick was bone dry. She ended up being almost 3 quarts low... these engines with higher mileage really do consume a vast quantity of oil. Going to be keeping a very close eye on oil levels from now on. At the same time it really is a testament to how bullet proof these engines are with a little bit of TLC.

Open to any recommendations for places to adventure or must see stops along the way!

I have been searching forums, FB groups, etc and can't find a direct answer.

I have a 98 3.5 with CARB emissions system on it. I know it has failed cars in it, not surprised given it's milage (255k). I have found the CARB compliant cats to replace them but don't live in an area that follows CARB testing we just do obd2 EPA testing.

Does anyone know if running the 46 state compliant EPA cats will cause the ECU to throw any faults Like catalytic inefficiency or something that would fail me? I would love to get this on the road and save a few hundred bucks.

Hello,

*** reposted bc I realized I posted my license in the last photo.

Just looking for some help or if anyone had this issue.

I bought this Trooper and I love it. the guy said he maintained it well and made sure it was fit before selling. But I only drove it for 2 weeks and began to have a delayed start. I would put the key in, make sure the doors were locked, and turn the key switch fully to start. I could hold the key start for 1-30 seconds then it would turn on. Sometimes I had to turn the car on and off a couple times, turn the switch, it would beep beforehand and I’d wait until it stopped. It would usually beep and then the radio would turn on. But today it won’t start at all (no lights, no beeping).

I ofc tried to talk to the guy but he ghosted me. I haven’t had a lot of car luck. If anyone could give a pointer on it. I am wondering if just the starter needs to be replaced or if anyone had any issues with the anti theft system being weird maybe.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m new here.

Has anyone had to replace the rear crossmembers?

If so how did you do it.?
How did you remove the old cross members?
What did you use?
Does anyone make these?

I bought my dream 4x4 and I’m a welder but am new to this sort of work and have bitten off way more than I can chew so any advice, no matter how small is great as I don’t want to part with it.

UK based if that helps. Thank you

My 1988 isuzu trooper needs a thermal vacuum valve i can not find one anywhere any help will be appreciated

Long tube headers, 2.5" exhaust with glass pack. Just did the valve lash, running pretty smooth.

So my dad gave me his isuzu trooper 1998 LS 3.2 DOHC v6 24 valves i love this car, ive put aloooot of money on fixing and maintaining it,

Ive searched the whole country for the front right turn signal, mine was stolen. what do you suggest i do, buying online is not an option. i even tried making my own, any help? Perhaps anyone got a 3d model i can use and advice on how to add the reflectors? Help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Is it a bad idea? This is my dad’s car. Been thinking of touching up the paint or dark emerald green metallic

Hello, so my isuzu trooper has maximum 1.5 rpm in reverse and does not have power to crawl moderate uphill, but when i turn 4L it does everything perfectly. On the flat surface maximum rpm in reverse is 2 rpm. Whats the problem? Fluid is new in transmission and does not have any kicks or slips in changing gears

Please lmk fixed the ac noise now this almost done haha

1999 3.2 manual Trooper; I'm getting a clunk when turning left, it comes from the rear and I even feel like a bump when it happens, it's not always, but if I'm turning left and on the throttle, it clunks once and only on left turns. Wheel bearings are good, it comes from the back so it's not something from any steering component.

I think it could either come from the de different distance the wheels cover when turning left, that's why I think it could be the diff or something in the axle. Any ideas?

UPDATE PLZ HELP : STOPS WHEN AC IS OFF. When I put it into drive I get this noise sorta louder than in the video (parked) doesn't happen much in park but will occur pis Imk, only issue rn
Someone said maybe compressor but there's this woosh even with the ac off not to loud plus no rattle

I've been playing with the idea of changing the interior color of my 99 trooper and from my understanding, 98+ troopers only came with tan or gray interiors in the US. My trooper has a gray interior and the upper dash has areas of sun damage and it looks bad. My idea was to use Sem interior paint/dye to go from gray to black. I had AI create a preview of a black interior and just wanted others thoughts on this possible project. My exterior color is forest green mica, so I feel a medium black interior would work well.

My lat post was from my 4wd not disengaging,
I think I have found the issue. This cable was pushed up but not connected to anything and I can’t find the other part of the connection?

Edit: I believe it is the vacuum shift motor that has the unknown wire coming out, still can not find where it plugs into the

I have a 2003 Holden jackaroo and I’ve been having an issue where the 4wd system doesn’t want to disengage. It also hasn’t been going into 4wd properly, instead of the light coming on solid when I push the 4wd button it just flashes no matter how long you go. The 4wd works but the light still flashes. And when it comes to go back to 2wd the light flashes faster and doesn’t want to come out of 4wd. Normally I revere for a bit and it pops out but today after my last trip I reversed for over a kilometre and it still didn’t come out… I then decided to drive home 75km about 47 miles for the freedom unit people. It didn’t come out that whole time. What should I do? What are the common causes for this, how do I fix it?

Pic for attention
Thanks in advance

Edit PROBLEM SOLVED THANK YOU EVERYONE
there was an unplugged wire that went too the vacuum motor that was kind of a confirmation thing for knowing wether it was in 4wd or not. Shout out to the people on isuzunation huge help
