1986 Isuzu Trooper II review from North America
"Best Thing to come out of Japan since Godzilla!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other from the normal wear and tear items
Alternator at 25000
Starter at 32000
Head Gasket blew at 70000
Seats, Cargo, Door Panels replaced at 100000
A/C compressor died at 120000.
General comments?
This is the first 4x4 vehicle I bought and it has turned out to be the best ever. It still runs great though the paint job is showing it's age.
If I knew how good this vehicle was going to be I would have bought two back in 1986 and stored one for later use.
