I purchased a 2017 Armada last week with the express intent of building it into a replacement of my 1994 Isuzu Trooper as my backcountry camping vehicle (I think the cool kids call that "overlanding" these days). I knew when I purchased the Armada that options were thin because its not quite a...

I haven't seen many people running an aftermarket rear bumper on their 2nd Gen Armada/QX. I assume that this has to do with the giant integrated town bar on the back. Ideally I'm looking for something like a Kaymar dual swing bumper so I can mount both my spare and a pair of Scepter cans out...

Many of my other vehicles over the years have had ARB bull bars and I'd like to keep that going with the Armada, but since the frame horn is different from the Patrol, I know that there would need to be some modifications to the frame and/or the bull bar. I know people have done this with DASH...

What did you have to do to get the rear bumper to fit? I was under the impression that the Armada/QX with out huge tow bar couldn't fit the Patrol bumpers?

Did they say that they might be working towards making a suspension system that will work?

He did say that it would replace that with a heavier rate spring and shock.

Talked to Nisstec and Calmini today. Nisstec said that they have no plans to have a lift available at this time from DASH, but they are working with them to do front bumpers and skid plates. Hopefully in the next few months. He did tell me an interesting thing, though. As we know Patrols and...

Glad to see the Armada is starting to gain a little traction here. I'm picking up a 2017 SV tomorrow to replace my much loved Trooper that's just getting a little long in the tooth. I'm looking for the same info that the OP is. Just wanting a mild lift to fit a more aggressive tire and gain some...

I just finished reading through this thread, wow! I'm not in the market for an RTT at the moment, but if I were this looks like a great option! Keep up the good work!

You're not the only one! I managed to get a hold of someone at Vertical Scope and they approved a bunch of new posts, users. Hopefully there might be some positive changes coming to the site soon.

I just looked at the pictures... still cool Adam. ;)

It was bought by Vertical Scope a few years ago and has kinda gone down hill since.

I'm a pretty die hard Coleman guy myself. I have both a 1980 425 and a ~1962 413. As long as you keep them clean and maintained, they don't die. I've used my 425 forever and it fits great in my kit. But I recently decided to try downsizing a bit and I picked up a Coleman 442 single burner and so...

Just got caught up on this, looks great!

I installed a 12v outlet in the back of my Trooper next to where the fridge lives and wired it to my battery (through a secondary fuse block under the hood). That way the fridge has constant power, not just when the key is on like the cigarette lighter. All I'm running is an Optima blue-top deep...

I've had the cousin to the Whynter FM-45, the Edgestar FP430, for four years now. Not much difference between the two, different handles and latches, but that's it. Mine lives in the back of my Trooper and has been used and abused since day one and never complained. Sure its not the fanciest...

Not trying to second guess what you've been told from a thousand miles away, but if its a knock from the front of the motor; often times that's the timing belt tensioner. This is a very common issue with Isuzu 3.2L of this vintage and is often mistaken as a rod knock. You should post this over...

I agree with @eatSleepWoof, $50 for a Trasharoo isn't bad compared with $100 for the ARB. I love ARB stuff, but unless these have some special feature I'm missing, it seems like here you are certainly just paying for the name.

Looks great!

Whats wrong with the engine that requires a rebuild?
