Trooper 4JX1 2002-up model

[av8or5]

where are the trooper owners kaya? are they still keeping their cars? the list of owners would be useful with Paul Chua who has a fight against ISUZU Philippines.

the former trooper owners are now fighting in a different battlefield, Toyota D4D naman

I have a 97 Petrol-powered 4X4 Trooper, and so far at 72,000 km, I've had no wallet catastrophe save for the usual "consumables" - battery, brakes, filters and the like. The radiator started acting up last year. Had it repaired and works like new again. The Trooper is one hell of a vehicle in terms of longevity and ride comfort. Dapat lang - it cost about Php1.5M brand new, almost 9 years ago.
Had problems last month with engine stalling. Changed the battery, spark plugs, had the fuel pump/line/valve cleaned, but the problem won't go away. Finally took it to Isuzu Manila, and the problem was a dirty MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor). After they cleaned it, worked fine again.
The only down side of the ride after 72,000 km if the hefty bills at the gas station. I average 4km/liter city driving. My usual full tank now costs about Php3K. Ouch.

sir one of my options din is a 2nd hand gas trooper, napa isip lang ako sa 4km/ltr is this purely normal/economical driving or may halong agressive driving din? Thanks

Bro, 1999 model with 3.1 intercooler turbo sticker at rear driver side tail gate. latest body configuration siya. Singkit at may ilong ang front end niya. But it has a reliable engine. May ABS na rin at dual aircon.

pare pwede magtanong? ano ba yung skyroof? meron bang bighorn na hindi skyroof? sori d kasi ako familiar sa bighorn..pinagaaralan ko pa kasi plano ko bumili...mas maganda ang 4JG2 kaysa 4JX1? salamat

[niwde11]

bro, all skyroof model sold locally are 4jx1 engine. bighorn are converted unit. walang bighorn na lumabas sa dealer dito. well between 4jg2 and 4jx1, nasayo na yan. 4jg2 old reliable, 4jx1 new, crdi, quite fast for a diesel engine, medyo maselan nga lang.hth
