Yeah, it's looking better than I thought without the 2-tone. It especially will with the lift and new tires.

If I ever have the funds/time to build a street Trooper, I might elect to ditch the 2-tone. I do like the idea of looking like a stock sleeper though.

Still in paint shop!

Paint and wheels look good. No lift yet right?

No lift yet. Springs in box still.

Test fit bumper, need to clock winch before I install it. Might be a few days before I get too it.

Looks so good. Getting me excited to start working on my winch bumpber!

I need to know they will work out for you so I can sleep at night. It's been weeks....







Just kidding.

It might be a week or so before I get to shocks and springs. Tires last.

Winch was a bear! Had to notch the top of the bumper for the gear switch.

What trail are you going to do your shake down run on?

probably a local trail up here in the state park. I might go to Moab in a few weeks.

I might be there at the end of this month. Let me know if you go and we'll see if the timing works out. Unfortunately I've had zero time to put into my Trooper since last Moab trip, so I won't have any cool new goodies. I've had a winch sitting in my garage for the last two years waiting for me to build a winch bumper, for example.

Ok, shocks and springs done. Here is the rest!

They are out of order but you kind of get the picture, about a 2 1/2 inch lift with the new springs and torsion bar crank. Now I just need to do the alignment. I can’t believe how much better it rides with the new shocks and lift. This is so much better than my jeep wrangler I’m mad it took me this long to get into an Isuzu. What an unfortunate demise to an excellent truck. I wish they still made a simplified version of these troopers.

Heater core failed. Rock auto one ordered and seemed to fit. I payed a guy to do it. No time to do it myself. AC leak is next but may wait till spring.

Your trooper is looking great! Love the wheels, single paint color, and bumper. My only issue is with that grill! Not a fan of the chrome plastic with the million little slats. Just doesn't fit with the truck. I removed my from my 2nd gen trooper since it was cracked, and honestly think it looks better without a grill than what was on there. I'm going to try to make a cool custom one. Low on this list though.
