ive been driving 4x4s for a few years now and they have all been vauxhall fronteras up untill now. but i got my self a trooper a few weeks ago from a buddy. the truck used to be a race and rally rescue ambulance for my local off road club. with stretcher and medic gear in the back. since it was retired all the interior has been put back to stock. and all the medic stickers have been removed leaving a lot of scratches i think they must of used a wire brush to take them off
. but ive managed to buff the most of them out using t-cut and lots of wax. 
hes a 1993 trooper 3.1 turbo diesel known as tonka
body has been lifted 1.5 inchs
torsion bars are wound up 2 inchs at the front and fitted +2 pro comp es9000 shocks
the rear is awaiting a set of +2 spring spacers so that i can get the +2 shocks fitted
the tyres are 33x12.50 on 15in wide offset rims.
it has a custom front bumper with winch mounts for a south down removable winch and the front crossmember has been totaly rebuilt.
this list could go on for days
. but heres a few pics for now.

no matter what age the car/truck is it must perform as a factroy fresh car would. also all mods get the once over. as for the crossmember it got put to the test just the other week when i had to pull my pals 7.5 ton horse lorry which was loaded with 4 horses out of the mud after it lost traction on a steep hill. was abit scarey but at least now i know the weilding is up to the job lol
