That is very true and that was the point of this post was to get people thinking of where they travel and what they really need for self recovery

This not a comparison of winch anchors or which is better than the other other. This is a short story of a bird hunting adventure that involved winching and 15 miles of drifted in roads in a very remote area of Wy. We left the main road headed for Fenton Pass to chukar hunt. Most of the road is...

This is how I put 2 batteries in my 89 Trooper First was cutting and fabbing a recess in the fender Next build a battery tray and remount charcoal can This does require removing the air intake hose bracket but it can be secured back by the cowling This is about 2" lift

April in Wyoming could be good, the ice can be off of the lower waters (many of the streams are running clear in April) and our run off doesn't really get started until May of coarse this all depends on the weather. The Cody area east of Yellowstone Park has some great potential and caters to...

I liken it to driving a fish bowl the visibility is one of the best in this class of vehicle. The 1st Gen. Troopers are one of the most over looked and under rated 4X4 in the US today, cheap to buy but as capable as almost any thing on 4 wheels.

One feature I really liked on our 2000 Isuzu Trooper was the corner lighting when you signaled to turn a light came on on that side and illuminated where you were turning into. I wanted this on my 1989 Trooper but the signal stat has only one wire which is spit at the column so no continuos feed...

The best rattle can paint I have found is Dupli-Color Engine Enamel, I use it on every thing sliders-bumpers-skid pls and frame touch up. It has good adhesion, very durable and easy to apply plus readily available at any parts store. Dave

In Wyoming a firearm isn't an option in the truck it is part of the truck. I always have a Marlin 1895 lever action in 218 Bee, good for almost any vermin you might run into. If things ever got close and personal I also carry Taurus Titanium 41 magnum, you would more than likely be totally def...

Grand daughters Trooper I fixed up for her, it is on a swing out I later adjusted it to sit straight My Trooper, I carry the mechanism inside. Not a great picture but the jack bar is the green bar behind the license plate

IFS doesn't flex a lot but lockers can even up the game. Dave

There are a couple of things you can do to help get the EGR tube started- first it is usually easier to start the intake end last, leave both ends loose till will started - check that the tube is not hitting something behind the engine- use a very short 7/8" opened end wrench at the air box -...

That sounds like a great schedule, would more than likely meet up at jct Chief Joseph Highway. Although that date is around the time the Sheridan 4X4 club would do the MJT so there would be a chance that I could meet at the secret lake. Dave

That looks like great fun and a chance to travel Utah with some great rigs. I had followed this and even considered coming down but I don't know why I thought my 89 Trooper was not old enough. Next year I will plan on it. I like the aspect of keeping the camping old and simple, I was 2 weeks old...

That is one of the things that makes the Kodiak Flexbow Tent a good candidate for this, once the top is assemble and the perimeter is fastened down to the platform there are only 2 poles to put up which lifts the top and they are on the outside. One other pro to using this tent is you can stand...

LEDs from Amazon with Cree led, some amazing deals and pretty good quality or go LEDs from brand names and spend up to $400.00 dollars a light. Dave

i would say it is worth it the V6 is easy to get parts for and is also easily upgraded.If you do buy it join Planet Isuzu forum, more info than you will ever digest. As for the front fender it is only a shell it takes very little effort or time to change. New OEM parts like headlight and corner...

I have used the same style poles and there is a threaded plastic sleeve that allows you to add paint roller extension handle to it. I used the wood extensions and cut them about 3" long drilled the center, screwed in a lag bolt into the end of the wood and then cut bolt head off. This gives you...

Has any one ever mounted a ground tent to a platform and made it work as a roof top tent? If so do you have pictures or ideas? I have a 9x8 Kodiak Canvas Spring Bow tent it seems completely plausible to mount it on a folding platform attached to a small trailer with just enough room underneath...

Thanks for posting the video, just to clarify what is happening at this ledge, I'm doing it in 2 wheel drive because I was still waiting on a front axle for the right side but I am locked in the rear. Dave

Last minute decision are some of the best. It was great meeting you and wheeling with you, these 1st Gen Troopers are really an over looked gem for 4X4 adventures. Yours in basically stock form did Flat Iron Mesa with an ease that many just wish they could do. Hope to see you again some where. Dave
