#1 of 421 My 'vitals' by bluedevils Dec 21, 2000 (5:10 am)
I'm not quite sure of this forum's intended purpose, but I'll give some info about me.   98 Trooper, Red Rock Mica monotone, Performance Package (similar to current LS model), bought as corporate vehicle with 7,000 miles in Oct. 1999. Now at 38,500 miles.   Previously owned 96 Trooper for 11 months. Bought used at 27,000 miles, totaled at 51,000 miles. Loved the truck. Truck was totaled in a t-bone collision (I hit a Cadillac STS at 40mph; his fault).   I live in the southeast Michigan area. Use TOD quite a bit (it was not standard in 1998-- included with Performance Pkg and Luxury Pkg but not available on Trooper "S" model). Do not use 4WD Low since I don't take my beautiful vehicle off road.   Thanks to the folks at Edmund's for establishing these more convenient areas for us to share info and opinions. Also thanks to paisan and everyone else who worked hard to make this happen. Now if I could just figure out if the new software has a feature similar to the Placemarks from the old version...

This area is the "general" discussion area for Isuzu stuff. Glad to have you on board. I've started using the subscriptions to keep track of all the discussions I'm involved in on here, it's actually working nicely. You subscribe, and then you can go to the message center and it will list the first message of each discussion you are subscribed to and you can click on the link to go there.   -mike

Well Let's see, I owned a '97 Rodeo before my current '00 Trooper LS. I loved the Rodeo, but the Trooper is far more refined. TOD rocks!   I also have an '88 Subaru XT6, a very strange vehicle in looks and mechanics.   I'm in the NY/NJ/PA and Upstate NY areas.   You can see my Trooper and some good links http://www.iace.com/ia/trooper   -mike

Hi, my name is Rick. I have a '99 Amigo with quite a few mods. I purchased my Isuzu after checking out some of the other Isuzu boards and finding out what a great bunch of people own Isuzu's. Isuzu makes a darn fine vehicle to boot.   Rick C.
#5 of 421 Join the club by david55839 Dec 21, 2000 (7:05 am)
Thanks to all the great advice and fun discussions on the Town Hall and other boards. Thought I'd join the owner's club. I'm David from Milwaukee and have been relieved I have 4wd in my 2000 LS Rodeo these past few weeks with up to 30" of snow! I've replaced the shocks with Monroematics to improve the ride, and have installed a Calmini Hi-flow air intake for a little more power. Isuzu has agreed to replace my Bridgestone Duelers with the new Michelin Cross Terrains to deal with the highway vibration. It's great to communicate with other owners. Thanks for creating this club!   David
#6 of 421 My Info by lovingpc Dec 21, 2000 (11:18 am)
Hi, I'm Andy, and I am a trooperholic (the owner of a '00 Trooper Ltd). I opted for the 2wd model as I don't offroad and we don't get bad weather too often in Middle Tennessee. The added cost, maintenance, and potential breakage was another decision factor to go 2wd.   I bought it for the capacity (passengers and cargo), power, and quality. I wasn't seeking a "pretty boy" suv that I would be afraid of getting scratched. I do think the Trooper is a great looking SUV, though. I love the view of the road, the handling, and the ride. I hope the owners club is a better forum than the old message boards.
#7 of 421 My Info by viktoria__r Dec 21, 2000 (11:23 am)
I live in Chicago area, have 2000 Trooper S 4WD, TOD, bought in Oct 2000 with 8900 mi. Currently 11700 mi. Happy to have it with all this snow we've been having! I have never owned a truck before. Traded a '98 Accord V6 coupe for Trooper - nice car, but insufficient room. Bought Trooper because of promise of reliability, 4wd, room, and, of course, price. Did not make any after-market modifications to my Trooper.

#9 of 421 My trooper by gpm5 Dec 21, 2000 (2:33 pm)
I have a '99 Trooper S 4WD TOD automatic, that is black with gold/silver trim and has a grey interior. The black trooper definitely looks cool and gets a lot of looks and comments. I bought it from Torrington Hyundai Isuzu in Connecticut with 16k miles and was told it was an Isuzu rep/cooperate vehicle. This truck runs like a champ. I now have 19k miles. I have added the 2000 grey floor mats (now dirty) and the 2000 cargo mat. I have installed the hidden hitch together with the hoppy converter for towing. I have taken this truck off-road in a way that I could never have done with any other vehicle that I've ever owned, and I have already traversed some very steep terrain and large rocky terrain. I plan to take it through the snow to get to the slopes when the powder is fresh and use it for camping and off-road adventures. Its been great in snow and ice. My 3 boys love this truck.
#10 of 421 Trooper LS by grucela Dec 21, 2000 (4:06 pm)
My name is Marcin. Live in North Augusta SC. Waited for months for a silver LS 4x4, no luck. So got a 2wd. Great vehicle, its my third Isuzu. Had a 91 pickup, then a rodeo. These vehicles last a long time. Hope to see Isuzu get involved with this board, maybe some cool parts like the countries have for the Trooper/Bighorn/and other names.
