Sheesh, I was gonna joke about this guy probably being met on grinder and then he turned his head at min 4:40, it’s no question 😶

Tommy is going to be the best.

@@tanner882 Came to the comments to find this

Who doesn’t?

I was thinking that too, he's straight out of top gun

Including the dangling earring 😆

@@ShaunHensley It's not a bad thing. I love the 1980s.

Even has the right watch. 👍

and loving every minute of it. He was awesome.

. . . maybe 1976 🤔

​@furyroad7565 agreed, 70s right down to the led watch

I thought my phone was glitching to an episode of Miami Vice.🤣

Ya, he’s pretty cool

Ricky Springfield is definitely a buddy of his!

Rex Kwon Do

Don't forget to stomp the groin!

"GM transmissions... are bulls••t!"

I thought it was Ted Lasso?🤷‍♂️😅

Yah that fake fur on his lip needs to go

For real. And he really knows his stuff. First the Russian guy and perhaps an 80's rocker reviewing cars. Crazy quirky concept but takes absolutely nothing away from the core of the TFL line of programs. This dude was on it. Well done!

Absolutely! Character for days! That chest hair!

I thought 70s porn 'stache, bear skin rug chest hair, choker gold chain and single dangling ear ring off his right earlobe he would look great popping out of a Delorean pipping the Miami Vice intro music for a TFL Classic intro.

LOL LOVE IT

Agreed. That guy was on it! Tommy has also become a great host. He's come a long way over the past couple of years.

I wish I loved the smoothness and confidence.. unfortunately it's become somewhat of a contagious trend, and often causing problems when it continues. When you call someone on it, others bring in another trend -- calling any realism "negativity"-- and away they go. From suave know-it-alls to "fake it til you make it" young overnight-experts who love to say "no worries!" even after they've screwed up YOUR day.... this guy seems like one of the nicest and most polite, but it reminds me of how often the confident smooth people have really caused me some serious problems and wasted time. It's a con, but they've conned themselves into believing their own expertise so that perceived innocence keeps feeding itself and more and more like the style. Meanwhile when they're wrong, it's even harder to detect or suspect, so you go further down the road with bad information. This guy is right about a lot of it, but not all. When it's somebody doing that through real estate, your finances, or your health, it can ruin your life. Sure, everyone is wrong from time to time, but the confident ones are the worst when trying to figure out when you need to stop listening to them. Most of his info is straight up internet reads, so that' fine but that's also why it's so ready and easy... which means he didn't live it yet. For example, Isuzu wasn't doing all that bad, and though yes, competing with Jeep etc.. is difficult since it's against established American brands that could build better or worse product and the name itself will give fair advantages... it was Consumer Reports that hurt Isuzu them most. They erroneously did an unfair test assuming the Trooper, the Amigo's night sister, would tip over more easily though slalom tests. Isuzu took Consumer Reports to court and actually successfully sued them, but the damage was done. Once everyone heard it was dangerous, sales dropped beyond what they could survive on even with the competition already there. The truth was the test started the turn for the poor trooper late after the cones, making it look terrible and out of control. They do look like they might tip easier (than say a 4runner or Explorer), but they actually didn't. Still, most humans are too lazy to look into the correction, so Isuzu suffered and pulled most of these tough little SUV'a and the Trooper out of the U.S. Too bad, because with some polish, they could have been a nice alternative. They were lower cost, and though not as reliable as Toyota, they easily held up with the other IF you took care of them. The Trooper models hold more cargo, and though later ones are too heavy to keep up off road with the Amigo, will still surprise most with what they can do. A '99 I've used would gobble up twisted trails (at times steep enough so I couldn't see anything but the sky) with no problem.

I sold mine one of my biggest regrets

Not very build-able, I owned one. All of the aftermarket parts are no longer available. That lift he has is literally 1 of 2 options. Still very fun, I wish I would have kept mine.

They’re really capable especially in 2 door form.

Holden Frontera in Australia. The Rodeo was a pick-up here.

@KAG no he doesn’t

That stick version is the Holy Grail of these cars.

who?

what?

@@rottieshepcalibre9156 Jeremy Clarkson, are you new in the automative world?

Yeah, I had an OCD twitch when I saw it too. :)

The Amigo was my dream vehicle when I was in High School…..

He did throw a football over those trees off camera.

@@79thump8 Unlike Uncle Rico, this guy probably did make state.

😂❤

I had no idea the moon roof came off like that 😲 can't wait to check this out!

I can't stop laughing at this comment. Well done!

don't be mad that he stole your girl in an 80's movie

Butt pirate!!

Yes, good eye... looks bent also.

@@thomasrossi31 Haha,...I only spotted that because I just replaced those links on my buddy's car this past weekend :)

As far as frame rust is concerned, I recall reading a Rodeo forum post back in the day (I owned a 2001) that the Isuzu frames were overbuilt and could rust for decades and still be perfectly strong. The body could be a different story, however.

@@rheteric Hahaha,... all I know is that my Isuzu did rust away totally in about it's 3rd or 4th year ( different owner suffered that loss ) . I 'got rid' of my truck by trading it in as quickly as I could, once I saw the rust start. The owner was one of the sales reps at the dealership where I traded it, he told me that he bought the Isuzu for an old beater to get him fishing hunting in the back woods, as long as it would run.

I have a 94 twin cabin Australia, they are everywhere here, they were called a Holden Rodeo as Holden was linked with GM.

Do they disappear from the rust?

I think they're hard to find because they didn't sell many and it was 20 years ago.

95 Rodeo was my first car. Loved it! Until a guy in an S10 sideswiped me and totaled it :(

@@dnlcast2 No mine doesn’t have rust, but there are nit many places that snow in Australia and so they do not put salt on the roads. It does get down to below 0 Celsius where I live and lots of rain.

I get the impression he has better taste in music than Dangle

LT Dangle meets Disco Stu

Needs shorts.

I have never had to add a quart to ours between oil changes in 20 years of service.

@@brianmartin1139 you were lucky then. My trooper ate oil like it was its job, i did a timing belt and it started knocking just 10k miles later (at 215k miles). Sold it back to the original owner for parts (isuzu nut), great truck but not as easy to find parts here

@@BullittKid08 Which engine did you have. They put a2.8 L Chevy engine in them for a while that was horrible. I had an S10 with with it. Later Troopers had the 3.5L. Isuzu engine.

@@brianmartin1139 it had the 3.5L it was a 1998

Just replace the PCV valve every oil change and make sure to use all synthetic and you're good as gold. Had several Troopers and a Vehicross with the 6VE1 and never had a problem with oil consumption.

I believe it was 2000+ didn't have this issue. answers are on planetisuzoo forums.

Putting your “bottom on the driveline stalk” is exactly what I figured you Toyota guys do.

Very cool! I also have a 3rd gen. Is yours the Limited model? any issues with the push button engaging?

There was one of these in my town with a color shift paint job when they were new. Loved that thing

@@graumail Nice

I own a 99 vehicross...i love it, it's my daily driver..

No they aren’t, the new ones can do so much more.

Make a video and post it here,seriously. I just put in a starter on mine and to celebrate I'm watching Amigo videos. There aren't like this one around.

@@TheVintagesteal In due time i will be posting about my build. Just bought it.
