Maidment78 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Oh and does anyone know a good place to get a half cage for the boot of the Trooper, want to be able to get the dog and other stuff in there, like a pram, shopping, picnic basket, mother inlaw without worrying that th pup might get squashed going round a bend.

snowz Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 i have a SWB 3.1TD had it nearly 2 years, put MT tyres and 2 new batteries and never let me down. what engine, hope its not the 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidment78 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 It is the 3ltr! bought it off ebay for £800 as it had a blown engine, got it home and realised it was just the injectors and the last owner did not really have a clue. Called Izuzu and it was under a recall and they did the lot for free and she runs sweet now, when she blows (I know she will) I will rag out the 3ltr and fit the 3.1 as that was the origional plan but lets see how long I can keep her running. Oil and filters every 5k and a wing and a prayer and she should do ok for a few seasons. Only issue is because she is so tidy and no dents the wife actually like the thing but as per a coment earlier I might get that green paint out,,,, oh and lose the rear wheel cover,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maidment78 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Mud! Can not do that, just painted the wheels black,,,,, Seriously though the General Grabber AT2's on and they are so cleane I wince when I look at them. Weekend of mud. Just did the Cam belt for this and I have to say it has to be the easiest one I have ever changed (out of the two I have done,,,) Will let you know how I get on with the conversion if and when the 3ltr does blow.
