Am I doing this right? I’m new to the internet, I hear it’s a fad and will pass. Anyway, while I hear they have the internet on computers now, I’ll post some pics of my new to me money hole.

I’ll update as I fix her up.

A surprising amount of people can't post pictures, so you've got that going for you. Welcome. What are your plans for that Trooper?
ive ordered a new ARB winch bumper, literally the last one in the country. Stuck in customs cus Ausies. New poly rope winch. New paint, all black no gold. And these wheels, haven’t decided tires yet. And tint windows.

It is true that only recently (compared to the age of the universe) computers have been able to access the internet, you seem to have adapted to the new technology nicely.
Yes, technology is cyclical, I’m an investor in pagers. They will come back in style. When smartphones get passé, I’ll make millions.
I like those wheels. I recently saw a 2.5 gen Trooper with color matched fender flares and bumpers and it looked like a Subaru Forester.
Change of wheel already, found these and picked them up for $400 with half worn tires.

Any interest in these? Set of 5, 4 with new tires, less than 500 miles on them.

Ah yes the dinner plate wheels. Where are you at and how much?
Cheyenne/Denver. $500? I have no idea what they are worth.
what do I have here? I don’t see G80 but it has limited slip.

All Troopers with the G80 tag came with a rear LSD, but for whatever reason some Troopers with the rear LSD didn't get the G80 marking. It also could have easily been swapped in by a past owner. I'm assuming you jacked up the rear to verify both wheel spin the same way when they aren't on the ground. Here is a link so you can see what the rest of the option codes you have mean: 1100 Isuzu Option Codes
I haven’t physically jacked it up and checked, but we’ve had some really snowy and slick days and I can definitely feel it breaks both loose and does not do peg leg burnouts.

I did look up the rest of the options, that’s really cool that that guy put all those together. I’m kind of upset at myself for not being with a trooper sooner. I wasted so much time and money Onto previous jeeps. This trooper is going to cover all those bases and be 1/3 the budget.

Welcome to the site. At $400, I'd say you stole those wheels, I hope they fit! :D

Now, about the witty part. I'm still looking for it. ;)

I guess they are a rare Tacoma Texas edition wheel? I got a find one more for the spare, I will probably end up doing new powder coat in a dark bronze. I think I’m going to go with those miles star Patagonia MT tires. This is not a daily driver and I think they look really cool.
Got the new wheels installed, front hubcaps don’t fit over the auto locker hubs. But they look good. Now for tires. Also, poly rope winch showed up.
What's the duty cycle?
I’ll have to look it up lol.

I realized I haven’t washed it yet, and it sat on this back water lot for at least 3 years.... so I washed it.
I can’t wait for new paint and the ARB bumper!

Is this your first Trooper?
Yes. I’ve had J**Ps before LOL, this is my toy. I have a 2018 F-150 and wife drives the X5.

oh, the duty rating on the winch is 5%😮🤣🤣🤣 glad I didn’t buy it to make money! LOL
I was only asking because the guy I bought my Trooper from lived up in Greeley and I wanted to make sure you weren't him.
Where are you. Was yours like this? It’s a 5speed with 200k. Runs great! It did 80 mph from Casper to Cheyenne (180miles) on half a tank!
