It's getting to be that time....

A few weeks ago I picked up a 99 5MT Trooper that had been wrecked, but with an intact drive train.

I started working on taking the Trooper drive train apart last weekend, but I thought that I'd start with getting the interior stuff squared away since the interior is semi-apart for an alarm install. The goal was to get the slave cylinder, the clutch pedal and the brake pedal in. After some wailing and gnashing of teeth, it was done this past weekend.



Good news: the brake pedal is considerably smaller, so you're less inclined to step on it accidentally. The bad new: you'll be drilling and cutting the Trooper bracket to accommodate the VX b/c bolt holes don't line up, and b/c the Trooper bracket juts out too far past the dash support beam.

Hmmm... I thought Greg said he used a Rodeo brake pedal assembly on mine and it bolted right up.

I'm trying to use everything Trooper, I'm not planning on buying anything else. I'd like to see how far that mindset will get me. Looking at that pic he showed, it looks a bit different than the VX unit.

I got it to fit, but like I said, I had to mod it a bit. No harm, no foul, I like a challenge every now and again
