The Isuzu Web Page needs a few good feature trucks. Ideally, we'd have a feature rig from each of Isuzu's major body types: an Amigo, a Rodeo/Passport, a Pickup, an early model Trooper, and a late model Trooper. Its not a surprise that we have plenty of short-wheelbased Amigos featured here, but it is a surprise how few longer wheelbased rigs have reported in. Let us know who you are!

Reader's Feature Trucks

1989 Trooper Sean is building his WomBAT as a sort of everyman's rig, trying to get the biggest bang for his buck without completely re-engineering his Trooper. During the buildup, he's documenting and sharing costs, installation difficulty, and other purchasing considerations, hoping to identify what changes provide the greatest off- (and in some cases on-) road performance improvements. 1992 Amigo Todd drives his 3WD Amigo mostly in Utah. His rig has been a fixture at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari for years, where he's shown quite clearly what few modifications are required to make Isuzus 'wheel hard. 1990 Amigo
Randy is building a pretty non-traditional Amigo, using modifications that are more extreme and involved than most truck owners would be willing to make. There's a question whether any sane person ought to grind all the independent front suspension brackets off a perfectly good truck and then start welding on brackets for suspension from another truck. UZI makes a good feature vehicle because it is so... well, STRANGE. 1990 Amigo
George 'wheels Samson, and this truck gets around, constantly surprising unwary 'wheeler's of other brands. George has built a rig that is quietly competent -- there's not much that'll stop this truck. It was a feature vehicle at ORC in December, 1995. 1994 Rodeo
Dan shows and 'wheels his Rodeo. He's built a beach-bombing fat-tired truck that shows AND goes, taking five people and all their gear off road in comfort -- try that in a flatfender!

General Feature Information

All you really need is a 4x4 Isuzu truck, and maybe a willingness to modify it and document these modifications for the audience at Off-Road.Com. The key ingredient we want to feature is Isuzus that go off-road. These trucks are built stout to start with, but if you do modify them, we'd like to share your learning with other folks who might be considering the same thing. Our goal is to identify what types of modifications work best for different types of four-wheeling, and be specific about what's involved in each modification: the price, the tools, the skills, and the time. Please mail the Isuzu ORC Staff if you have questions or comments about this page or if you want to feature your truck.
