    Yah, sure, you betcha then there doncha know...that's us in the Nort woods of Minn-E-Sota.
    The whole thing was last minute on my part, didn't know that I was going until the night before.
    That's Jims bro, Mike in the white Jeep. We're still workin' him, trying to get him to Moab...

    After seeing/riding in, a Trooper with Joe (who posted the vid), he's giving serious consideration to Isuzu ownership.
    Both Steve & Joe have Trooper RS's (really short), which the VX is based on, & they're both locked front/rear...
    Let's just say that Mike was impressed...
    That long hill climb that I came up is called "ski jump hill", as usual, pics don't do it justice.
    Last time I tried it, I took a strap & some body damage...
    Too bad the vid didn't show my "victory dance"...

    Dub, I would say we need to put together a pot to come up with lucci to get some body work done for ya.... but I am quite sure on your way home from the shop you would find another backwater road to try out and do it all over again, heh.

    Yeah...you're probably right...

    Though I DO have a brand new from Isuzu passenger door shell in my inventory...

    She'll be back in the straight metal again some day...with a suitably outlandish paint scheme...

    Still workin' out the details in my brane...

    They’re rare, but you can get them here. This is some info I found.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    You know, everytime I start thinking of buying another truck to retire my VX in the garage, I just stop, and tell myself that the only TRUE option for me is another VX.

    Its fun to look though.

    Alaskan's talk like that because a lot of them moved there from Minnesota. Seriously. I read it on the internet so it must be true...

    Yeah, Ski Jump is a long, steep, loose climb...if it is wet you probably won't make it. It was fairly do-able that day.

    Nice to see the vid caught me not noticing that big rock right in front of me at the top...

    Yeah, I have to say, after seeing BigSwede's red Trooper this past May, I have been keeping an eye out for em. I have seen 2 or 3 LS Troopers here in Reno and I actually have taken a liking too (for whatever reason) the Dodge Raider/Mitsu Montero. There aren't two many around, but nonetheless they have that same cool short wheel base look...





    I could definitely get down in one of these rigs. I like them because they are a little bigger than the Samurai's yet still small and capable looking. Seriously, I don't know how people wheel in big pickups...

    Anyway, cool vid, but you can keep all that mud!

    Me too...I had an 86' full size Montero with V-6, right before I bought the VX.
    Great truck, well built...burned so much oil it looked like a misquito fogger...
    Since owning the Montero, it is always interesting to sit behind a Mitsu in traffic & see if it's burning oil...by my estimation, it's about 4 in ten that are.

    Come to salt lake there’s Dodge raiders all over the place. I have a 91 Montero that likes to burn oil when it’s idling. I hate that V6.
