The one thing that I can attest to is the great seals that Isuzu puts in the drive train components. I may have tried to sink a trooper in the ocean. When my buddy started to pul it apart to dig all of the sand and salt water out of the axles , they were un touched and good to go. That was one of the best worst trips, still miss those days.

Sounds like a campfire story if we have ever hear one. Thanks for sharing about the seals!

That beauty needs a "mid/long travel" IFS suspension under it! Im a huge Isuzu fan. I own a '98 Rodeo, and wish these were more popular in the offroad community because they are unbelievably capable and overbuilt! Great job on this VX and thanks for putting it out there for the world to see. ❤❤❤

That rig is cool as hell! And I've been a gear head my whole life and have never seen an Isuzu nerd! Awesome 🤘

There are a few Isuzu 4x4 nerds in Japan. I meet some and they have interesting take on things. Let’s not forget the truly crazy guys in Thailand. DMax diesel mania! You never forget them once you see them!

As a Jeep commander owner who has done tons of trails i can relate to a lot in this video. The commander is the bastard child of the jeep world and has almost 0 aftermarket support. BTW I have always liked the Vehicross but I'm one who like to do things different.

Should l consider a VehiCross with 146,000 miles?? I drove it, it rides and sounds great, l know I'm gonna have a lot to do..timing belt, sensors, bearings, fan belt..on and on.. l am in love with VehiCross, this one is 6-7 on a 1-10.. no oil leaks, knocks or weird noises..seems pretty solid, 99 silver with red/ black interior.. l will likely only trail ride here in Florida with it, im a little nervous about the milage..what do you think???

If you are comfortable turning wrenches then it’s a no brainer. If you aren’t comfortable turning wrenches then you should consider how the potential mechanical expenses fit your budget. Good luck 🍀

Do it. All these engines burn oil but they are otherwise pretty reliable. I have been looking at them across the US. I could get a clean ~150k mile for 6-9 grand all over the united states. That seems to be what you would be paying no matter what. I saw one for 3, and it was worlds away from the ones for 6. Horrible. I see black and silver as my only color options. The only red, and yellow one in the whole US were both twice as much at 12k and 13k and both had 200k miles or close to it. I would really love being able to find a white one. I ride a motorcycle as my primary always have. Only owned 2 other vehicles with 4 wheels and i plan on this being my 3rd.

I’d like to some “junkyard engineering “ and check if any of these Isuzu parts fit Xterras. Yes I said it. Just to check it out.😅 if something is bigger and better why not?

Nice! Watch the video to the end and it has the contact info for the owner, he can help you a ton. Also, check out this Facebook group: facebook.com/share/g/eaBcuYBVQSNXCSx1/?mibextid=K35XfP
