Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them

After market stuff for Isuzu is very rare in Malaysia but still can source out from Thailand. What i did with the injector pump is changing the pump diaphragm and a bigger spring. I can tweak it up without any thick black smoke coming out from the exhaust.

Flairs are still available for LWB and SWB here. It cost RM900 for whole sets.

I need to know what's the small mirror on the left hand mud guard? Seems the Japanese imported vehicles have them.

The small mirror helps a lot when taking a parking. It gives the driver clear view from inside the cabin without going out to take a tight parking. ;)

That makes sense, living in Queensland, Australia we have plenty of room for car parks, so they are big spaces easy for parking.

Awesome ride, man! Always loved the 1st Gen Trooper. The brown-tinted glass is rare here in my country. Really cool!
