Greetings,
Finally, an Isuzu site where I can catch up on the latest Trooper Gossip. I owned a 2WD Amigo that I bought from a friend in Idaho for $300.Igave my steal deal to a fella that needed a ride in the worst way. Last yearI picked up a 92 Trooper LS in Portland for $2200. Really like it so far - handles great - mileage, not bad for a 3.2 4WD, Lots of cool gadgets on it - pretty innovative actually. 168K, been steadily fixin' the "check engine" light stuff. Want to snorkel it & lift it for off road. I am a little disappointed that it can't be body- or suspension-lifted due to being an automatic. I was told that I can go to larger tires on the stock rims and that will give me "some" clearance - not sure what that corellates into in inches. If anyone knows of a lift kit that can go on the A/T Trooper, I sure will appreciate the info.
