Trooper in Action (pics inside/merged threads)

[20vanda01]

Guys, I haven't really seen a trooper in action specially on offroad. Can someone share pics on this? Local or abroad trooper in action. Am planning to get a trooper for both offroad and city driving, kaya lang nagdadalawang isip ako sa capability ng trooper sa offroad kasi ala pa akong nakikita kahit pic man lang. Dito na lang sa Diesel club, parang walang trooper owner na sumasama sa mga offroad. Siyempre dala dapat niya ang ride niyang trooper.

We own a Trooper '97. Nadala na po namin siya twice sa Sagada via Bontoc-Banawe road and Halsema highway. Maganda ang performance niya. :wink:

Troopers have a larger following in the U.S. Daming nag-ooffroad na Troopers doon.

Try the Isuzu section of www.outdoorwire.com

roydok, at least meron nagte-testify na ok ang perf niya.

sir otep, i'll visit the url, thanks. by the way bat kaya mas maraming followers sa US (for instance) dahil ba gas powered dun ang trooper?

Hmm... naalala ko bigla meron nga palang old trooper model used for offroad sa pbase ko, :mrgreen:

But I know this is not the version you had in mind: Old Isuzu Trooper

the Trooper does not have a center diff. lock, kaya siguro po no one uses it for extreme off-roading, siguro for rough roads lang siya pwede...

Mas established lang ang Isuzu brand sa US. V6 din naman ang Montero doon, eh. Underdogs ang mga Montero dahil mahina ang Mitsubishi marketing. Halos wala ding aftermarket ang Mitsubishi. Yung Trooper lahat ng products meron. Rock skis, diff locks, you name it they have it sa mga shops doon.

Iba kasi ang principle ng 4WD system ng Trooper. It does not need a center diff lock. A Pajero has a center diff lock so you can still run in 4H kahit sa paved road. Off-road, you have to lock the C/D, eliminating any 'differential' effect (essentially, you just turned off the C/D).

iba rin naman yung 4wd system ng later troopers sa US... yung TOD system that is effectively full-time 4wd...

sir otep, kung walang C/D ang trooper ibig sabihin ba nito di p'wedeng mag 4H sa pave road ang trooper? I think i need to learn more on this toy (trooper), any web again to visit and leanr on this? thanks ulit!

Kung TOD (torque-on-demand) ang 4X4 system mo, you can drive it in 4H on paved roads (check mo kung may nakasulat na "Torque on Demand" sa 4WD indicator. It does not need a C/D but can still run on pavement because it works like the CR-V system in a different orientation. When the rear tires slip saka pa lang magpapadala ng power sa harap (sa CR-V, FWD ang default mode). Also, you can set the TOD to deliver power to all four wheels on command (you can't on the CR-V).

kahapon sa offroading sa hi peak, may 3.0 dohc di 4x4 trooper na kasama. malakas ang makina but i think there were a lot of stuff hanging a the bottom kaya parang d ganun ka galing sa offroad....just my opinion....

[pinoy99]

Here's a good write-up on how Trooper handle off-highway stuff. .

[kimpOy]

look at the flex on the rear tires


apologies to brugtek of isuzuproboards20

[Ungas]
