- My 4x4 Camper set up done on a DIY budget.
Holden Jackaroo (Isuzu Trooper) 3.1 Intercooled Turbo Diesel • 2"lift on 32" x 11.5" mud terrains on 16" steel rims • 2.5" straight through exhaust • Turbo and fuel boosted to 14.5psi & max EGT 500deg
Any questions just hit me up in the comments, cheers!
I have since purchased a second Isuzu Trooper (holden Jackaroo) with a 2.8 - 4JB1 swapped into it, might have to do a video on that set up soon. - Авто та транспорт
Thanks for this! Love driving my trooper, and have been looking at doing this sort of reno on mine for a while.
Love your set up.
So cool, love the updates. Yeah, I'm like 3 years behind but thanks for another great video,
Thanks man, have since purchased a new one. Might have to do a video on that set up
Nice set up thanks for sharing.
well done mate, got some good tips for my jackaroo
pretty kool ... got the same trooper same color too
Nice gives me hopes for my 88
nice setup man. You have given me some good ideas for my jackaroo.
+Douglas Hammond thanks mate, no worries. Give us a yell if you need any help or info :) Also if you're on facebook check out: facebook.com/Holden Jackaroo/Isuzu 4x4 ...lots of good info and ideas on there
Hope to have these mods soon
Hi?
I love your isuzu camper set
Could please get the sketch diagram of the bed and it's dimensions. I would like to set up the same in my isuzu bighorn.
Regards
Vincent
Funny thing is I own that car now
Is it still kicking? It had 525,000kms when I sold it
good job
Very impressive indeed. Subbed
I have a 1993 TROOPER with 120,000 miles. Body looks used, but interior is still good. The older it gets, more little things break or fall off. I have the under powered gas engine popular in the U.S. at that time. But, I love this vehicle, sits high off the road, 4WD, and plenty of room in the back for camping equipment. I would like to modify it for off-road use, like yours, so that I can sleep in the back. You have given me a lot of ideas. What changes did you make, if any, for shocks, springs, etc. so that the vehicle could take the beating of rough roads. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
r g Hey mate, i have added 2" rear springs and front and rear shocks, then just turn up the front torsion bars to suit. That combined with some decent offroad tires and you'll get where you need to go for sure.
Great!!
mint as set up man love it
Thanks mate, have since resprayed it in a gun metal grey scratch proof paint, so looking much better now
+Gibbet Hoskins sick as man should make a new video
+Darius Goss will do man
+Gibbet Hoskins cool man
it is a very god thing to do with your isuzu
excellent bugout rig
Cheers mate 👍
I first read, burnout rig, and thought, wth. 🙄😂
THANK YOU FOR SHARE DETAIL VIDEO ON SETUP ON 4X4 AS ONLY WISH FURTHER TRAVEL TO PLACE IN BEAUTY PART OF AUSTRALIA
Esta muy bonito
Hey Gibbet...What an awesome cheap camping set up, well done bro! My flatmate has same 4wd and has the near same set up by following your instructions..even the curtains which is brilliant idea (that keeps the sun out at 5am when you wanna have a sleep in till 7am) `Instead of the foam matteress, mate has a double air mattress from the tv infomercials (those ones with inbuilt pump self inflating ones for $100)... its far more comfortable with more room than another mates 4wd with his set up which has all the fruit! AND..all he has to do now is pull up...move couple things around.. and hes ready for the night.. and he also added a drop down table to the back doors....now hes laughing! Hey...how about more vids with follow up to whats been happening? cheers!
hey man thanks, yeah i'm all about the budget lol That's awesome that it inspired someone to do similar! Sounds great would like to see your mates set up. I've since resprayed the rig with gun metal hammertone for $200, came up pretty good. I'll have to do a vid to show you how the respray turned out. Cheers!
Been looking at picking one of these up because they seem so much cheaper than everything else like a surf is nearly double the price
Skid up Light up The 3.1TD goes well and is reliable if you can find one without too many kms, stay away from the 3.0 they are a nightmare. The petrol models are powerful but chew fuel.
Gibbet Hoskins I ended up picking up a 2.8td with 235km for $1500 solid front and rear diffs and it's a manual lotus edition on 31" muddies as well and I couldn't be more happy with it
Love this trooper, wish we had diesel
G'day mate. Just a couple of questions. I'm trying to get a roof rack for my daughter's 2000 Jack and they keep saying you can't.
How did you get yours to work.
Also is yours a petrol or diesel.
Ours is petrol and they are saying you can't fit a snorkel to a petrol
Thanks for your help.
Great rig by the way
Wondering if you could help me. Where did you get yr weather shields from cos it's so hard to find accessories for the jackaroo. Great video. Thanks👍
Hi mate I got them at Auto Barn for $45 a few years back but unfortunately they don't sell them anymore. I also need a new set as I broke one of mine and unfortunately the only ones i could find online were ridiculously expensive
Hello there
Love your trooper, are your tyres size a 265/75/R 16 without wheel arch flares?
Yes which is basically a 32" tyre on a 16" rim without flares. If you have flares a 0 offset fits perfectly on a trooper.
Is the mattress on a board support right through or is it on the folded seat only. Also did you make our buy the pull out storage at the back.
I have a board that slides forward and rests on top of the seats. Sliding up the headrests to their highest position helps hold it up.
Nice set up. I'm going to do that to my trooper. Would have liked to see how the board goes over the back seats. Is it hinged to be able to use them when not camping?
chris youmatzo Hey mate no it's not hinged, it just slides forward then locks in using a special cabinet joint, there are a number if ways you could do it. I didn't hinge it because when you flip it over it would hit the roof
Gibbet Hoskins right on. I did see your other video some time after there you pulled that apart and showed the biscuts. love the simplicity here. I will be making one soon. thanks!
Great setup! Where did you buy the spare-tire cover?
Filip Sundquist Hey man you can find those and similar on ebay
Wish we had the diesel here in the states. Only need to what few more years for the 25 year import restrictions to be lifted
Yeah these engines are good (3.1 4JG2) 92-97 This one has almost 500,000kms (310,000 miles) and still going strong. The later model 3.0 diesel (98 onwards) is problematic though, better to stay away from those.
Thanks for the heads up. Have you ever seen the two door version? If so can you comment on its cargo area. I am wondering how much space you lose for the advantage of short wheelbase.
Ephraim Duran Yeah I've seen them their cargo area is pretty much the same as the LWB but you obviously loose the rear seats. As someone who's owned both I personally like LWB better. SWBs are prone to roll overs, bumpier ride and less cargo area, In most cases LWBs perform better, especially steep hill climbs and declines, which are where most rollovers occur. I definitely get a lot of use out of the rear seats in terms of space and the ability to take extra passengers and obviously the bed.
Isnt the diesel that came in the trooper the same as what they put in bobcats here in the states??
Hi mate, I got a 2000 jack, was thinking of doing the same bed draw set up, does the bed fit with the driver and passenger seat all the way back?
hey mate, yeah my double foam matress fits fine with the seats back when driving. But when i sleep i put the seats slightly forward as otherwise my feet just touch it, i'm 5'10
I like your setup brotha. Does arb sell that bumper without the push bars on top of it.?
Hi Mate, I don't think so, you could always modify one though.
I don't think so, but could always cut them. Sorry for the late reply, my youtube channel has been playing up for some reason
nice setup, where are you from? do you need those tires to go on the beach. how did you keep the matress level with the seats I have a 98 4x4 thinking about doing the same. cheers
+Aaron Osborne hey mate, the seats fold down flat 90 degrees and the rear draws line up so that they are the same height, and I have another piece of board that slides forward and locks in to hold the front of the mattress up. If you look at my videos I have an older vid that explains it better. Although I have since updated it to use a different locking system, which i had custom fitted. A simple biscuit joint style works fine though.
+Gibbet Hoskins sorry forgot to answer your other questions. I'm from Byron Bay area, and no you don't need tyres like that for the beach, those particular tires are actually suited best for mud. Any tire is fine on the beach as long as you run approx 16psi to get bigger more flexible footprint. Full tire pressure (35-40psi) doesn't go well in soft sand and you'll likely get bogged. Also good idea to get a little air compressor to air back up when you leave the beach as driving on road with low tire pressure can heat up and damage the side wall of your tire potentially causing a blow out.
mate I'm in Byron too and just picked up a very tidy 2000 jackaroo. your vids are giving me some great ideas. cheers cob
Hey mate I have the same car just in short wheel base and I have the same rims what wheels do u run on them
+Jack Haley Hey mate, I run Dynastorm Mud Terrains 265 75 R16 which is basically a 32" x 10" tyre (with about 2" lift). Although I previously had 32 x 12" on a 0 offset rim (different rims) and they handled much better as it had a slightly wider stance and obviously wider tread, I would recommend those. After these tyres wear out I will be going back to those for sure.
Would you happen to know where to get a replacement jackaroo grill at a decent price?
Txace Tech Hey mate, wreckers would be your best bet or ask on the Holden Jackaroo forum on facebook
I would try the wreckers or ebay
also are you able to sit up without bumping your head? thanks
+Aaron Osborne yeah it's not too bad, I'm about 5'9" and I can sit up ok to read and stuff. My head does hit the roof if i sit tall, but it's not an issue.
budget and arb bumper, aftermarket snorkel and more... xD
ARB bumper was bought second hand for $500 AUD, snorkel ebay $129AUD ...vehicle purchased 2nd hand $2500AUD ...Lights are ebay and all mods were done by me. Most expensive mod was lift and tires at about 2.5K ...I'd say that's pretty budget.
I bought my car in pristine condition, top trim (LSD, all electric, sunroof etc etc) and 2 sets of new wheels for around 1300$... Opel Monterey 3.1tdi (Trooper 3.1) but that price for ARB its amazing, we want that prices and cheap stuff in EU xd
Where did you get the screen for your window
Alexe Carrion I got those at Supercheap Auto mate
Hey mate, Supercheap Auto or Autobarn stores in Australia (size Extra Large Square) If you are not in Australia they are called window shades or window socks and you may be able to find them on ebay or local auto stores. I found these, (they are not the exact ones I bought, but look like they would do the job. www.ebay.com.au/itm/2x-Universal-Car-Window-Sox-Sun-Shades-Socks-Rear-Side-Seat-Baby-Kids-Protection-/122471623930?_trksid=p2349526.m2548.l4275

@@gibbethoskins8621 did any problems come up?
Lovely content! Keep up the good work. If you have a second go have a browse of my page 😃🤘
The 98 diesel 3L turbo is a piece of shit.
True story, this is a 94 - 3.1 not the 3L time bomb.
