Hey Dozer, your Hilux is just so tight!

I'm mad my dad sold his Hilux. He replaced the engine by a 2.8 td intercooler too. Axles came loose from the leaf springs because of the power, had about 180 hp.

Here is my Samurai in action. First clip is on flat terrain through the woods:

Here you see the build of our rear suspension:

These videos are from Inor in France. The terrain is very extreme, especially when it rained a lot. It is located in a clay area so the mud is tough on the flat land but when you go up a hill there it's extremely slippery and dangerous. Sounds like heaven to me.

Nothing like most of you guys, but I've had a lot of fun in the Amigo.
Body repaired, painted, locker is out and it's retired now. Looking forward to this game, should be a lot cheaper to do. LOL
Some in TN or NC, most are from Barnwell OHV in TX.

Here in Belgium the model you have is called the Opel Frontrera and they were the biggest crap off road vehicles you could ever imagine. Gearbox got stuck, motor got stuck, not from even driving off road. They had a lot of problems with these.. Is it the same with the Isuzu's? But I like the model. Does remind me of a Chevy Blazer..

It's 12 years old and still a daily driver, clearly it's not that bad. Not perfect, but hard to argue with it and it's pretty stout for having IFS. As a trail vehicle, we drove it 500 + miles to get to trails, ride, then it would bring us back home. Can't ask much more than that.
Of course, maybe you're generalizing too much, there are of course different years, models, engines etc. but there weren't that many changes during each generation.

Yeah, but you know, Opel = crap, Isuzu = Japanese truck, not bad. My dad drove this one for a year and I drove it for 2 months. I really liked it, it was an automatic, a good heavy truck with a 3l TD and chipped, I guess 180hp.

(not exactly the same but it was modded with bigger tires etc.
