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.

Could this Isuzu Mysterious be an affordable 90s gem?
Tue, Mar 21 2023The Isuzu Rodeo holds a special place in rad car fans’ hearts, as it was the basis for another beloved off-roader, the original Honda Passport. The five-door Isuzu SUV lasted here for several years before being discontinued in the early 2000s, but the automaker sold funky two-door body styles in other markets, and one of the now-legal imports has made its way to Cars & Bids. Though our version had the somewhat mundane “Rodeo” title, the SUV was known as the “MU” or Mysterious Utility. This Japanese-market version comes with a 2.8-liter turbodiesel and a five-speed manual transmission. This one has around 121,000 miles and looks in decent shape. Interestingly, the two-door MU almost has a Mitsubishi Pajero Evo vibe, with its beefy fender flares and cropped, lifted body. Amazingly, the auctionÂ’s statement that the SUV is barely modified is accurate, as its only upgrades include a new stereo and those funky gold wheels. The Mysterious has drawn several comments, mainly from curious observers asking questions about a vehicle theyÂ’ve never seen. One wondered whether the MysteriousÂ’ top is removable, which unfortunately is not the case. Some versions, including the Isuzu Amigo, which we got, came with a removable soft top. One commenter noted that the tops donÂ’t age well, so the hardtop is likely the best choice for a 31-year-old imported SUV.  Though many JDM vehicles from this era are sometimes exceedingly difficult to import and equally expensive, the Mysterious sits at just $3,500 halfway through its auction. ItÂ’s got all the hallmarks to be a Radwood-ready bargain, too. The bright red paint and gold accents give it just enough flash, and versions of the diesel engine are still in production in China, so it might be somewhat reasonable to find parts.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Chevrolet Spectrum CL Sedan
Tue, Oct 16 2018After 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.

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Isuzu Ascender
Sun, Mar 18 2018We 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.
