The regulars on this forum probably remember all of the threads I've posted in the last year. You know, the threads where I post a link to a truck on craigslist, ask about trucks, brainstorm about what kind of truck I should get, then never buy anything. This would happen once every month or two.
Well, not anymore... because I'm the proud new owner of a red V6 1991 Isuzu Trooper XS!
My parents had given me permission to get another car, but we had no idea the right one would show up so soon. This mint (save for a few dents and a worn drivers seat) Trooper was parked on a corner only a few miles from GRM World Headquarters. It's completely rust free, there isn't even any on the (original) exhaust system. It runs great, the four wheel drive works, and it fulfills all my needs: carrying stuff, towing stuff, carrying people, and carrying mountain bikes, all while bouncing down a wooded trail! 
Of course, it also goes down the highway much more comfortably than anything else I own. It's even got ice cold ac and the big tire package.
So, naturally, we bought it and it's mine!
It's still at the detail shop now (I know that isn't GRM, I'm very sorry), so you'll have to wait for pictures. In the meantime though, here's one that looks exactly like it:
What does the peanut gallery think? Any known issues? Anything I should change/upgrade? Can these really clear 33s without a lift?
It was a tough truck and did some good/light offroading and camping trips down dirt roads. I sort of did not my friend getting this truck because he got rid of a minty, loaded '89 Acura Integra to get it. Not a choice that I would have made.
My buddies also had stainless steel lower body protection panels like this:
We put little white crosses on the front fenders and the rear tailgate and the red and silver looked like the Swiss-Army-Kife Edition.
This was back when everything had and "edition" and things like the Eddie Bauer Edition were real popular.
