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.

Japan may aid carmakers facing U.S. tariff threat
Wed, Sep 12 2018TOKYO — Japan is considering giving carmakers fiscal support including tax breaks to offset the impact from trade frictions with the United States and a sales-tax hike planned for next year, government sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Going into a second round of trade talks with the United States on Sept. 21, Japan is hoping to avert steep tariffs on its car exports and fend off U.S. demands for a bilateral free trade agreement that could put it under pressure to open politically sensitive markets, like agriculture. "If the trade talks pile pressure on Japan's car exports, we would need to consider measures to support the auto industry," a ruling party official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the matter. The auto industry accounts for about 20 percent of Japan's overall output and around 60-70 percent of the country's trade surplus with the United States, making it vulnerable to U.S. action against Japanese exports. Japan's biggest automakers and components suppliers fear they could take a significant hit if Washington follows through on proposals to hike tariffs on autos and auto parts to 25 percent. Policymakers also worry that an increase in the sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent planned for October 2019, could cause a slump in sales of big-ticket items such as cars and home. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has twice postponed the tax hike after the last increase from 5 percent in 2014 dealt a blow to private consumption, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy. To prevent a pullback in demand after the tax hike, the government may consider large fiscal spending later when it draws up its budget for next year, government sources said. "One option may be to greatly reduce or abolish the automobile purchase tax," one of the government sources said. The government is also considering cuts in the automobile tax and automobile weight tax to help car buyers, the source added.

Junkyard Gem: 1994 Isuzu Rodeo 4WD
Tue, Feb 28 2023After a decade in which Isuzu-built Chevrolet LUV pickups, Isuzu-engined Chevrolet Chevettes and Isuzu Geminis with confusing "Opel by Isuzu" or "Buick/Opel Isuzu" badges, Isuzu finally began selling Americans its vehicles with Isuzu badging in the early 1980s. There were Isuzu cars, sure, but the P'up pickup and (starting in 1984) the Trooper SUV showed that Isuzu was likely to rake in the most yen by selling trucks on this side of the Pacific. The three-door convertible Amigo appeared here in 1989, but it was a little too small and silly to sell much among the suburban-commuter set. For the 1991 model year, a five-door Amigo sibling showed up: the Rodeo. The early Rodeo is getting quite rare today, but I was able to find this fairly clean '94 in a Denver-area self-service yard a few months back. These trucks, which were based on the same chassis as the P'up (known as the Isuzu Pickup after 1987) sold well in Colorado. You could get the first-generation Rodeo with rear-wheel-drive, but the four-wheel-drive version made more sense if you wanted to slog through snow and mud in the Rockies (or just feel safe when crossing a parking lot dusted with the white stuff). This truck has true four-wheel-drive, not what eventually became known as all-wheel-drive, but at least the higher trim levels had automatic locking hubs instead of the manual sort that forced you to stop and kneel in the mud to switch. Americans loved automatic transmissions nearly as much in 1994 as we do today, but they cost a lot more relative to manuals back then. This truck has a five-speed manual. The MSRP on this truck was $19,249, or about $39,075 in 2022 dollars. If you wanted it with an automatic transmission, the price went up to $20,349 ($41,310 today). The air conditioning in this one cost an additional 850 bucks (1,725 bucks now). The engine is an Isuzu 3.2-liter V6, rated at 175 horsepower. This truck was built at Subaru-Isuzu Automotive in Indiana; Subaru eventually bought out Isuzu's share of the joint venture and now only Subaru models are built there. Just to add another manufacturer to the mix, Honda sold rebadged Rodeos with Passport badges (and rebadged Troopers as Acura SLXs). This one was well-cared-for, looking clean for a machine with close to 200,000 miles on the clock. We can assume that some costly mechanical ailment finally sent it to this, its final parking place.
Junkyard Gem: 1998 Isuzu Oasis
Sun, Jun 16 2019When I'm crawling through a big self-service wrecking yard (as I do at least once a week) in search of interesting discarded vehicles, the top of my "look for" list always includes weird and obscure examples of badge engineering, the weirder and more obscure the better. So far the Nissan-made Suzuki Equator has eluded me, but I have managed to shoot such junkyard badge-engineering oddities as the Mitsubishi Precis (Hyundai Excel), Acura SLX (Isuzu Trooper), Saab 9-2X (Subaru Impreza) and Saturn Astra (Opel Astra). Isuzu's dire need for a minivan in the late 1990s led to a deal with Honda to sell the first-generation Odyssey as the Oasis (even as the Trooper became the Honda Passport). Few bought the Oasis, but I found one in a Denver yard a few months back. Pure Honda throughout, down to the VTEC badges on the engine. This is the 2.3-liter F23 four, rated at 150 horsepower for 1998. Sold new in Denver, will be crushed in Denver. Though Americans bought many a Geo or Chevy built by Isuzu during the 1980s and 1990s (not to mention the big-selling Isuzu-made Chevy LUV truck of the 1970s), the Isuzu brand never really caught on over here. By 2009, Isuzu was gone. The first-generation Odyssey was well-made and efficient, but it was designed for the Japanese home market and thus was too small for most American van shoppers in 1998 (most of whom were moving to SUVs around that time, anyway). You could fit a lot of people and gear in this small-footprint machine, but that was more important in crowded Japanese cities than in sprawling American suburbia. Collectible? Not at all. But an interesting piece of automotive history. I can't find any Oasis ads online, so let's watch a JDM commercial for the first-gen Odyssey, featuring the Addams Family.
