    I had a white 88 (i think) trooper 2. Loved it. put warren locking hubs on it and bfg 31"ats. push guard, roof rack and it looked just like a range rover. went through 10" of snow. finally died trying to get up a clay/mud hill. Blew a head gasket. They all do. But great little rig.

    Been saving up money to throw a new front seal and torque converter in my 01 Trooper's transmission. I paid $1750 for this thing, and It's been a labor of love type situation over the past year or two getting everything fixed up but the TC and front seal. I've avoided videos like this out of pure jealousy of mine not working as it should lol, but this was a blast to watch. I am happy to say that I have saved up the money and I'm getting the work done this Tuesday, so I will be sooping mine up to be an overlanding vehicle as well once that's all squared away. It's rare to see people making content on these things, they're uncommon to say the least. I love mine though, bought it after it was sitting for 8 months. it made it home with all its problems 200 miles over 7% grade mountain highway and only cried for mercy twice.😆 Enjoy it man, these rigs are unstoppable.

      This is just awesomeness. Ya, what people don't know is this first video alone, took me 6 months to make. This was from working a bunch of evenings and some 12 hour days. It takes a ton of time and work and money to make this happen. You get that I'm sure. This is why I was robing parts from 2-3 other vehicles just to try to save some money on the whole thing. Keep chipping away at it. Eventually, you'll have something to be proud of!

      @@TJackSurvival Yeah man definitely, I'm in a FB group for these things where people have helped me every inch of the way. It's been a laundry list but they helped me make short work of it. There are people in my FB group who have entire fleets of Troops that they just pull parts from as needed. Really cool to see lol. I know how that is man, mine has taught me how much money you can save with just a little time, patience, and elbow grease. I'm proud of it alone for the simple fact that it's taught me everything I know about cars so far. At this point I wouldn't feel right giving up on her when she never once gave up on me.
      I threw you a sub, didn't realize it was ACTUALLY you until I checked your vids LOL. Keep up the good work on it man. I know it's not the smartest to develop an emotional bond with vehicles, but I can't help but love these things, and I love even more to see one be brought back from the dead.

    It doesn't matter what body you use. And even axles. What is important that the motor attaches to the transmission and you can weld the driveway or pay to have driveline welded. I love to experiment.

    I read many complaints about 4L30E transmissions in the Trooper, I suppose due to the bigger size and weight. The 4L30E is reliable in the Rodeo as well as all the other vehicles including GM and BMW cars.

    Damn, the whole time watching this all I can think about is how expensive this must have been. It pays to have connections too for a workshop. Where'd you learn to do all this?

    • @TJackSurvival
      @TJackSurvival 2 роки тому +1

      If you do your own labor like I did it’s not bad. The shop owner provided the knowledge that otherwise would have taken me months of digging into old UA-cam videos and threads. Some engine knowledge I picked up from a high school class I took as a kid. Some from helping fix ranching equipment when I was young and some from fixing and rebuilding vehicles I owned in the past as they broke down. I also used to have a jeep I built similarly to this years ago. A lot of this isn’t super complicated and requires experimenting or smart friends. But ya building vehicles is spendy.
