Buying a 1988 Isuzu Trooper

Buying a 1988 Isuzu trooper, doing a little work to it, then driving it fun places.

Andrews definition of "That looks factory" always cracks me up.

Saw a comment mention how nice it is to see "normal" people. Couldn't agree more, just people being people, no fake awful personalities, no playing up characters for the camera. Love your content, man, keep it up!

As I'm from Estonia, there is a huge off-road community I used to take part of. Main brands that won stock class races was either short Troopers, Samurais or LCruiser 70-s. Environment is harsh over there and they really stood out. Even MB G class often proved too heavy. Nice gem, looks like new!

That last recent time I saw Andrew this happy is when he hired people to dynamite that hillside and it literally came out as gravel. He walked up with a huge grin on his face and was very pleased with the outcome. We get a kick out of seeing him appreciate even the little stuff in life, along with his dogs. I hope when I am 90 and he's in his early 60's that he still makes video's!

That rebar chassis is a thing of beauty.

Only Andrew could make a feature length film about an old Isuzu and we will watch it happily.

These Isuzu’s are one of the best kept secrets of 4x4’s. Incredible quality .

These videos are getting better and better. Having Sam around to help with recording is giving us camera views and angles we probably wouldn't get if Andrew had to do it alone. Great job Andrew and Sam! Thanks for all you do to bring us these videos.

It seems that in too many cases the vehicle manufacturers have really fallen away from the notion of building reliable transportation with the driver in mind. You are very fortunate to have located that Isuzu Trooper in such good condition. I can see why you would want to hang on to it forever. Great video Andrew!

[fimeca]

andrew and Samantha you give us happiness a joy of living in your way which is the right one...
for me, just look at your dogs who are very happy by your side. I love your videos and seeing you restore the 1988 ISUZU 4x4 with talent and all its magnificent plans in the woods or the forest with magnificent fall colors, it's great
well done

I don't think there is another youtuber who can do an hour and a half video on a 33 year old used car and have me hoping it won't end. Not a big deal to upgrade a new snowmobile for 10 grand. To be so excited about the an old SUV. I love it. I had a trooper in the 1990s. Great rig. Was great as a 4 wheel drive/snow rig. Also very comfortable as a daily driver. Thanks for another great video

Much as I really enjoy Andrew’s videos I do miss seeing him work on customer’s projects as he used to do .

Something Andrew has uncovered that other YouTubers haven't... The Grill crushing part of the video. Others would edit it out for time or to create a simpler story, but Andrew knows this content is why we are here. He doesn't need to worry about the algorithm. Cheers Andrew.

Andrew showing us his rebar frame replacement while us here in the UK can have our vehicles declared unroadworthy for having an empty screenwash bottle!
Imagine turning up at an MOT Test with Andrews old Trooper, I think they would need to refill the printer halfway through printing the failure report.

Nice to see that you are sharing your life with someone special to you.

[AlexTWOI]

Oh boy I’ve been looking forward to this one! No other Youtuber can make an hour and half long video which I’ll happily sit through and watch the entirety of! The organisation and passion this guy has for content filmed across a long period of time is impeccable. You’re a legend Andrew 👍

I'm amazed you found one in such pristine condition. If I remember correctly, I had to come to a stop to engage the then come to a stop, shift the gear out and reverse 4 or 5 ft. to get it out of 4WD. 1987 Isuzu SpaceCab P'up 4 X 4 which had an angled roof to allow for more headroom when using the jump-seats. The truck was a head turner because it was unique. Thanks for making a video including the new Trooper. It brings back memories when I was young and life was "no engine light" 😉 It is healthy to reminisce. The campsite you created is heaven. You work your butt off and you deserve all the nice things you can make/do to balance your down-time/playtime. Thanks for sharing the more personal parts of your life.
There is another one in Kennebunkport, ME. Low miles, just in the event that you accidentally trash this one. 💥 (explosion emoji)

Troopers are the best! I have a friend that has an old one, no rust. Engine is blown 😬 Might dive in and make it a project. Restore to its original beauty.

[jenniferhallam]

What a great video! Burn piles, fixing car stuff, watching Blue grow up again, doing cool things and going to cool places. Grand fun, thanks Andrew and Sam!

[timooten]

Love watching new videos from Andrew, and I love the fact the dogs are involved in everything. Love Cody and Blue, and I miss Levi!
