Have you regretted selling your trooper wth 4jx1 engine?

[GTi]

Status symbol, probably no. For some, it's just one crappy smoke-belching SUV. Never looking at the fact that it was priced at 2M.

Anyways, I often drive one. Skyroof. Quite fast. Comfort is good. And the ruggedness of the exterior is great. Plus, it's not a commoner like the Pajeros & Patrols. Yes you see troopers around, but not as common as the said two.

Haven't took it off-road though. Although I think it would do good with No doubts.

Crappy smoke belching SUV? Hindi naman ganun kalala. Nung una lang naman mausok pero mawawala kaagad.

Off road? 4x4 po ba sa inyo, Sir Renzo? Hindi pa ako nakakakita ng Skyroof 4x4 ah. Pics please?

I guess im one owner who has no regrets selling my Trooper. I bought it new in 2003, sold it 2007. No accident, everything was working, well taken cared of, regular PMS, seats were like new, but signs of its sickness was showing. Good thing it was covered by extended warranty with a written letter to IPC.

Sige maghanap ka ng Skyroof na 4WD.

Kasi alam ko wala eh. Sa local version.

Pareho kami ni Renzo. Pati color.

Pwede naman mag offroad ang 2WD diba?

Ah so hindi siya kasama sa flaw.

Kaya pala mas madami sa trooper na local ....

May overheating problem din boss. Yan common problem ng mga JDM bighorn at trooper dito na nakikita ko sa mga shop. Hirap din ayusin because of the parts availability issue.

Kaya nga nagtaka ako kung paano nagkaroon ng 4WD na Skyroof when he mentioned na ineexpect niya na magaling offroad ang Trooper niya. Ikaw ba nakapag-offroad na with your Trooper? Kumusta naman?

LSD ang trooper. Basta ako, raw speed ginagamit ko dyan. Ayun, yung rear fog ko, nayupi! haha

Hi Everyone,

For those who sold their isuzu trooper with 4JX1 engine (between years 2001-2005 i think), have you ever regretted selling your trooper?

The reason im asking this is that im kinda regretting selling my 2001 trooper 4x2 last 2009. When i sold it, it had a lot of problems already like side mirror folding mechanism already broken, antenna is stuck and not working anymore, a lot of replacements needs to be done on suspension because it was never been changed since Day 1, leather seats peeled off, etc...im also worried that the fuel injector issue might come out again..

Pero kahit nabenta na yon trooper ko for 1 year, parang nagsisi tuloy ako ngayon. Dapat ata pinaayos ko nalang sana... Kasi kahit papaano trooper padin yon, and ka-level padin niya mga Pajero, Patrol, Prado, LC...and i could not afford the prices of Pajero, Patrol, Prado, LC today. Kaya parang nagsisisi tuloy ako...

What do you guys think? Thank you!

Sir may i ask you coz i have the same problem now.
my first mechanic told me that the problem is the ecm or computer box. He even tried to use another ecm from another trooper (4jx1 too)and my car runs well after installation of the new ecm. However, dahil di ako masyado kumbinsido coz my trooper is still running though there are instances na namamatay pero hindi madalas, i tried to consult another mechanic and he advised me to change the engine oil, oil filters, fuel filter & air filter. Sa ngayon mejo ok na but im still afraid that the ecm might be the real culprit eh mejo mahal yun at wala ako pambili hehe.

when parts start getting difficult to find, it's probably time to sell the car.
unless, there is a special reason why not.
