simalar question to the one about the mu.
im looking for an afordable 4wd my budget is about 2-3 k.
lots of troopers around for this price but i dont know anything about them
are they any good and easy to do up.
trooper, any good?
Hi guys, new to this forum, but here goes, Troopers here are underrated, I went through a process when i bought my 4wd and yes it is a bighorn, soled as a trooper in Aus and here in NZ badged as a holden, very big in th US and also very capable, easy to do up with loads of parts available.
worth a go, I am enjoying mine!
my first 2c worth.
cheers

I know a guy who's got a MU for that sort of money (I think), if you are interested...
It's pretty standard to the best of my knowledge, 2.8TD manual.
92 Diesel Auto Terrano. Stock as a rock, just not quite as exciting... but I'm working on it.

thanks for the tips.
Hey Fish, I have been using mine for the past 3+ years for the family stuff and of course the occoasional diversions that you do, have fitted auto lokka to the front, suspension lift (shocks and coils), new front bumper and rear, getting side bars fitted as we speak, snorkel, works very well!
check it out
you could also visit the http://www.clubisuzu.com site to see what others have done.
cheers
hope this helps

Steve from this site is using one as a basis for a family 4wd, but he is going a little more challenging and doing a chev swap and solid front axle.
the trick with these is all the front is a little limiting, you can get around that with a locker it depends on how far and how hard you want to go.
good big roomy cab tho and has all the features you want (heated seats etc) great to dry them out after those river crossings (if you trust them).

I was a little supprised thought there may be more 4wd stuff there is but takes a little finding.
Hope noone was watching it
