Really digging my Trooper. Pretty solid for a rust belt rig. Only have 2 trouble spots, both in tough to repair places. Any suggestions how to handle these spots to stop things from getting worse? Repairing it is most likely out of my league and too expensive so I just wanna delay the...

Got new tires mounted up today and absolutely love them!!! Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 265/75R16 - and they are awesome!!!! Tested out their “snowflake” rating badge right away in this awful snow we’ve been having and am wayyyy more impressed than I expected! Can’t wait to try them out off-road in...

Got a build page or anything with your Trooper specifics? I'm just starting getting my '02 Trooper into shape - new rubber going on tomorrow!

Awesome, glad you got it! Seeing that makes me SUPER jealous...!!! Have fun planning!!!

That's what I figured it was, wasn't 100% sure though. Thank you!

So I'm changing the fluids on my '02 Trooper and the manual says to use 80W-90 GL-5 LSD in the rear, and 75W-90 up front. However, I can get it cheaper if I run the same front and rear, and am wondering if it's safe to do so? I'm a big Lucas Oil fan and they offer a dino 80W-90 and a...

I was just out there a few weeks ago, and was shocked to see that around Furnace Creek I had service (have AT&T and it said Off Network) with 3-4 bars of service. That's really limited though and not many miles out of there service disappeared. DV is HUGE so it's hard to say what's available in...

I've been jonesing for a true rig (not the Dodge Grand Caravan I've been rocking for a few years). When the van died, I had to get something quickly and it couldn't be more than $2000. I found the 2002 Isuzu Trooper, checked it out, and offered $1800 and that's what I've got - for now. I'll...

Driving it 5 times round trip between Kodiak/Anchorage/Juneau to/from both Michigan and Virginia. I've traveled it round trip 6 different times. Twice in the winter. Once by Ural sidecar motorcycle. The other 3 times in various modes of transportation. Length depends on where you're starting...

Looks awesome so far!!!

2005 - Kodiak, AK to Sault Ste. Marie, MI (4,600 miles) with a 3 year old. 2007 - Sault Ste. Marie, MI to Juneau, AK (3,000 miles) with a 5 year old. 2012 - Kodiak, AK to Grand Haven, MI (4,300 miles) with a 3 year old and a 10 year old. Each one was an adventure...but both times the kid(s) did...

Love it, nice job on the truck!

Really hating that special "discovery" of hidden rust on a new (used) rig...!

Just a few from my 14 years in Alaska...

Thanks for the replies. Thinking of maybe fall of next year making it happen...side trip to Death Valley...then road trip back to Michigan!

No inspection at all here in Michigan! Thanks for the info though, that’s all good to know! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

In the next 12-18 months I'll be in the market for a newer model rig, and am already looking at a 4Runner or Tacoma as my platform to begin with. I don't wanna buy new, and if you've ever been here to Michigan, even vehicles just a few years old already show signs of cancer. I'll have enough...

I'm sort of an old-school guy when it comes to documentation. I much prefer paper in my hands vs reading on a screen. With that in mind, is there any way to print off an entire post thread all at one shot? Anyone know? Thanks!

I grew up in TC - what year did you graduate? Class of '90 here.
