There's new short I recently uploaded. Hopefully I get time to give it more attention/ make another video soon.

I have a ‘91 Trooper and paid $2500 for it. A month later went on a 3000 mile road trip and it was amazing. Even went to Moab and did some level 4 trails with no issues.

Ours is constantly impressing us. We've had it for about 4 and a half years!

I have a 1991 Trooper that always needs stuff done to it. I'm not really a mechanic, but I do it all myself anyway. That said, it's great to watch someone do things I need to do. Thanks for the training video!

The 2.8 V6 is a GM engine using readily available GM parts & accessories. AKA Chevy S10. This engine was used in many GM vehicles, & even jeeps, All using Standard over the counter GM accessories, TBI & ECU... Try to get ANY 4cyl Isuzu parts at your local Auto Zone or Napa. Mine has 191000 miles and still runs Quiet, smooth & Revs happily to 5500. Power Tip, Rod out the Cat & add Cat Back free flow exhaust.Then a high flow air filter & it will spin 31x 10.50 - 15's .( my clutch dampner is weak, so chirping those big tires on asphault is easy) Or, When that 2.8 is worn out, Stroke it to a 3.1 or 3.2 with over the counter GM parts.. Options that you just Don't have with an Isuzu 4 cylinder. Just Sharing PS, Good luck finding a V6 5 speed for sale.

I'm glad to hear this about the 2.8! So far the 2.6 has been great to me, and finding parts isn't too bad, but I could definitely see the GM V6 being better for parts availability.

My neighbor has the 2.6, updated head with a webber, Spun a bearing. the price of a new crank followed by the machine work exceeds vehicle value & his pay check.Too bad, it is a 86 three door..@@skidroseracing

Just a note. Both the 4 & 6 cyl are near indistructable. The V6 with stock restrictive exhaust has no bottom end torque, giving the 4 cyl, the upper hand. However, Let that V6 breath easy & it's a new ball game. In low range it feels like a V8.. I only chose the V6 because in my area, 4 cyl parts are hens Teeth. Plus, The gm tbi & ecu are far more reliable than what came on the Isuzu 4 cyl. I have respect for All running Troopers. Drive & enjoy. I bought my V6 ONLY because it ran & drove Perfect. Too bad it lived outside its whole life & now looks its age, Sad

@@tracydoane4261 After hearing this, I'd definitely give a GM V6 Trooper a shot if I find myself in the market for another one. Thanks for the info!

@tracydoane4261 5 ай бұрын

Those of us with the V6 5speed combo do not part with them. The drivability of the v6 trooper, funfactor & highway hill climbing speed Made me sell my 4x4 Toyota. PS, my daily is a 66 C10 panel delivery 4x4 restomod. My spare is the Trooper. The panel lives outside, The Trooper sleeps in my garage Rebuilt & ready. @@skidroseracing

Do you know of any places that have parts for these, as far as hard to find parts? I have an 89 and can’t find rear taillight assembly. Also awesome video, really nice to see some Trooper action. Keep the videos coming. 👍

@skidroseracing 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! I wish I knew of a place to gets parts like that for these. Maybe ask Trooper Mafia on Instagram. He may know of a place.

Yeah, impossible to find in decent condition or really any condition. These are rare as hens teeth.

5 years I looked for a 1st gen V6 with a 5 speed. Found one near Spokane Wa, In 2020. Ugly. but complete.. Bought it, Did a bumper to bumper running gear overhaul. Still looking for another one just because. Fun driving 4X4 Go Kart. In 5 years, This is Still the only one I've found. Good Luck
