Just wondering if any of you guys are near me. Would love to get together and talk troopers over a few cold ones or coffee. My trooper should be back on the road next Wednesday. Anyone who wants to get together post here and we will figure out a location and set a date.

Congrats! How much of a project is this Trooper?
I've got to get back on my Rodeo project and with the weather hopefully turning cooler (and me not having to keep other vehicles here running) I can make some progress.

Body wise its in descent shape the thrust bearing is shot but I was planning on using a 2.6l block the clutch is brand new installed by the mechanic I bought it from.

Definitely some elbow grease required, but the Gen 1 Troop is my favorite style.
Made me pick through my Rodeo project and try to remember where I left off.
I was working through the battery tray and power harness mess.
The Rodeo has a Trooper V6 and so the guys that swapped the engine took some liberty with authenticity.
A new positive cable assembly is around $150 (OEM) and the new neg harness took months to deliver.
My plan is to add an auxiliary pos block for accessories (if the need arises).

I *really* need to clear out my garage and roll the Rodeo in there... yeah right.

Is anyone around six mile, SC? I have a lead on a 1st gen there and would love someone to look at for me if possible. I live about 4 hours away and will buy you a beer or a meal for your help!

I'm in with about another 2-3 members who would probably show up also.

How's the progress going?
I'm about done with the electrical work under the hood of my Rodeo.
Next big task is doing something with the ancient sun roof. It is gonna to lose the old mechanisms but, I am inclined to put a slightly bigger pop-up type in.
(I hate sunroofs BTW)

If y"all can wait until it gets a little cooler in late September, I'd be down for that ride. From the videos that I've seen, might have to bring along some gold panning equipment. 8)
