1989 Isuzu Trooper LS review from North America
"I got a great vehicle for the money I spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake pads needed replacing and I am currently looking to purchase new shocks.
General comments?
I am a first time owner of a Isuzu Trooper and would like any information on what I can do to keep the performance of this vehicle at its top.
Also would like any information on shocks, glass packs for a Trooper (is it advisable), what is the best grade of gas (I use 92 octane), and dealerships that are in Los Angeles, CA. that have affordable accessories and service.
I would like to know if there are any 1989 Trooper owners out there that can give me advice on how I can upgrade/service the vehicle to give the best performance possible.
