well for the first comment way back in jan. I did make it all fit lol that wasnt the problem. Really what it comes down to is some of the choices I made wasnt the best and your right, the isuzu's are bullet proof for the most part. I currently drive a 1995 Isuzu Rodeo as a daily driver but also take it wheeling. I am selling the trooper though for the last guy that made a comment. I am selling it cheap as well. If your interested in it, send me a e-mail at gsxr_man_19802000@yahoo.com and we can discuss the actual price in private. Thanks all

Quite the project, I had an 86 white, trooper II identical to yours. Thought this was my old friend when I saw it. I swapped in solid toyota turbo axles, cross over stearing and had the original motor/trans rebuilt. With the proper gearing (5.29s) and 35"s it was pretty strong and took a beating (I was 17). They seem to hold up better the lighter you keep 'em. Not the best hiway vehicle with these modifications tho, 65mph was "interesting." That 351 could fix that though, haha. I hope it all works out for you. Love these trucks, if it's ever for sale let me know. Good luck to you.

What made you think a 351M/C6 would fit in an Isuzu Trooper? You problem is you're trying to stuff 10lbs of "stuff" in a 2lb bag. You can MAKE it fit, but that don't make it right. Stick with something that doesn't require cutting the truck in half to make it fit. All that stuff you threw to the junkman, you should have kept it. These are bullet proof little vehicles and you sure don't need 3/4 ton Ford running gear to keep 'em that way. These things have 4.55 gears stock, lock up the axles and toss a 2.6L in (which bolts right up by the way, and its a Chevy/Isuzu) with a manual tranny and call it a day.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There are so many highway bound posers that never go off the pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in Iceland is really refreshing.

It is fun to read about other people's Offroading adventures and also learning from the up and downs of their adventure!
