This Trooper is a lot of fun to drive, and runs strong!  Drives smooth for big tires, no weird alignment problems.  Wheels are aluminum.  Body has no dents but some rust spots.  Actually, after I bought it, I realized the roof rack was secured to the roof by sheet metal screws & o-rings and nobody took care of keeping them tight to seal out water and on some screw holes, they rusted into some big rust spots.  I patched them with some galvanized thin sheet metal & silicon.  I planned to clean and weld the holes up, but never got around to it.  I no longer have the roof rack.  Because of slow leaks to inside, the carpet was mildewy so I removed it.  After I bought it, the headgasket blew out so I replaced it with a used engine which still runs relatively strong today.  This year I replaced the catalytic converter with a brand new one, so it passes smog easily.  Fairly new cap, rotor, plugs, plug wires, PCV valve, oil filter, air filter, etc.  The driver's side door lever (inside) broke recently, but still works.  Front window has original crack (one long one) which I never fixed/ never seemed to bother me for an old beater truck like this (doesn't inhibit driving view at all).  Replaced water pump with a new one last year, so no more leaks!  Also replaced both upper & lower radiator hoses. I replaced the A/C compressor last year too!  Heater works well.  New OEM rubber shifter boot.  Has an older Sony CD player stereo, CD player skips a little, but stereo sounds nice via Aux input or FM radio + Kenwood 6x9 speaker boxes.  Lightly tinted windows.  Driver's side rear-view mirror has mirror-glass missing, but I have the replacement mirror-glass for it.  Mileage estimated.  I'll try to find more pics to post.  This truck is about 30mins away from me at my mom's house.  It served me well, moving my stuff around in it's big cargo space and keeping the rain off my stuff.  It's really an extra 'fun' truck I had for a long time, but I don't seem to use it too much anymore so I've decided to sell it.  I've only actually took it 4-bying once on the lame Big Bear auto trail, so not a lot of 'real' 4-bying action, mainly used it for cargo transportation (back seat folds down for even more cargo space).  I don't know what else to say about it. It has chrome trim.  The tires still have pretty good tread.  Its a 1991 so you can't expect it to be the best, but I took pretty good care of it to keep it running well.  You'll have to do the same.  In this year of Isuzu Trooper, the standard engine was a GM V6 3.2L which was a very popular & well designed engine for it's time (the 80s, heheh!).  This means it was the same engine used on Chevy Blazers, S10 pickups, etc.  Very easy to find if you needed parts or replacement.


Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Isuzu Ascender

Sun, Mar 18 2018

We know the GMT360 platform best as the basis for the Chevrolet Trailblazer and GMC Envoy, but there were four additional trucks in the GMT360 family: the 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, the 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, the 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, and the 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender. All these trucks were more or less the same, but the Isuzu is by far the rarest; I searched for a junkyard Ascender for months before I found this one in Arizona. Exact production figures are tough to find, and some will tell you that the Saab 9-7X is even more rare. In wrecking yards, though, I see SaaBlazers pretty regularly, but it has been like pulling teeth to find an Ascender. Perhaps the Saab name adds more value than the Isuzu name, when you're searching for a used SUV. Isuzu dealerships in the United States sold Ascenders until the fateful day in 2009 when the company packed up and left the country. Had the Daewoo brand stuck around in the United States past 2002, we might have seen a Daewoo-badged GMT360 as well. Ascenders were built in Ohio and Oklahoma. This one, photographed in Phoenix, came from the latter plant. Most of the GMT360s could be had with various flavors of V8 engines as optional equipment, but nearly all of these trucks came with the Vortec 4200 4.2-liter straight-six. My 1941 Plymouth project car is getting one of these engines. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Honda Passport 4WD

Sun, Nov 20 2022

The suits at American Honda Motor Company must have spent the bulk of the 1990s tearing out their hair in frustration as their rivals raked in big money from the sales of ever-more-profitable SUVs, even as American car shoppers lost interest in sedans and hatchbacks. Oh, sure, the Civic-based CR-V appeared here for the 1997 model year and sold well enough, but the lack of a larger SUV pained Honda more with each passing year. With the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot not ready for showrooms until the 2001 and 2002 model years, respectively, some stopgap had to be found. Isuzu stepped up and made a deal with Honda: the Rodeo would get Honda badges and become the Passport, while the Trooper would show up in Acura showrooms with SLX badges (for the 1994 and 1995 model years, respectively). Here's one of those Passports, found in a Denver-area self-service yard. Things got even weirder in the Isuzu/Honda world around the turn of the century, with the Honda Odyssey getting Isuzu badges and being sold as the Oasis. Fast-forward to 2009, and the only Isuzu-badged vehicles available new here were rebadged Chevrolets: the I-Series pickup (Chevy Colorado) and the Ascender (Chevy Trailblazer). The Passport name has some interesting American Honda history, stretching back to the first Honda vehicle sold here (and the biggest-selling motor vehicle in human history): the Super Cub. American Honda Motor Company couldn't use the Super Cub name on our shores, because Piper Aircraft had been selling a small plane called the Super Cub since 1949, so the motorcycle was called the Honda 50 over here. Eventually, this bike got a 70cc engine and became the Honda C70 Passport, sales of which continued through the middle 1980s. That means the Passports sitting in your local Honda dealership right now got their name from a one-cylinder motorcycle. General Motors has a Passport connection as well; when GM created the Geo brand to sell rebadged Isuzus, Suzukis, and Toyotas in the United States, it created a marque called Passport to sell the Daewoo LeMans as the Optima in Canada (all the other vehicles sold by Passport dealers were Isuzus). So, Honda's need to offer SUVs in its American dealerships led to an arrangement with GM-connected Isuzu to sell these trucks with a model name bearing links to both companies. So much history in the junkyard! Just as Geo-badged Toyota Corollas (mostly) got Delco radios, so did the Passport get Honda radios.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum CL Sedan

Tue, Oct 16 2018

After a not-so-successful run selling Opels in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s, The General looked to his partners in the East for the next round of low-priced GM-badged imports. There was the 1985-1988 Chevrolet (Suzuki) Sprint (which later became the Chevy/Geo Metro), 1988-1993 Pontiac (Daewoo) LeMans, and a bunch of Chevrolet and Geo machinery based on the late-1980s Isuzu Gemini. Here's one of the first of those Isuzus: a 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum CL sedan, found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. The first model year for the Spectrum (sibling to the U.S.-market Isuzu I-Mark) was 1984, and these cars wore Chevrolet badges through the first part of 1988. At that point, GM decided that its Asian-built imports would belong to the Geo brand starting in the 1989 model year, so 1988 models can be either Geos or Chevrolets, depending on when they were imported. Most Spectrums (Spectra?) were hatchbacks, so a 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum sedan is now one of the rarest 1980s cars sold in the United States. This is yet more evidence that rare does not equal valuable. The interior looks non-thrashed, and the odometer shows a startlingly low reading for a 30-year-old Japanese car. The buildup of rodent bedding in the engine compartment suggests long-term abandonment prior to the car's final ride to this place, possibly dating back 20 years. In keeping with 1980s design trends, the HVAC controls show vivid pink and blue colors, and the option to direct air at your feathered hair or your high-heeled boots. Perhaps the members of Poison owned this car. Most Spectrum buyers would have been too cheap to get air conditioning or an automatic transmission, but this car has both.
