I currently own 1995 and 1996 Troopers and am looking for something newer/fresher and wonder about the Axioms. The pricing of used ones seems very reasoable but are they off road capable like the Troop? Anyone move from a Trooper to one?

I know pretty much nothing about the Axiom but here's a link from Planet Isuzoo that shows one with some mods and some wheeling pics. Looks capable to me.
I have sat in one and drove it around camp site. They are really nice vehicles.

Somehow i don't think that link will do him much good, as the Axiom in ther is a R/C model <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

From what i've heard they're pretty good, had the chance to drive around in a 2004 DI 4x4, I must say I liked it a lot and wouldn't mind having one my self (thats If i don't get ahold of a V6 5-speed 4x4 Amigo/RS or a VX first <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />)

Axiom frame and suspension are very much the same as Rodeo's ones. And I must say that stock-to-stock, Rodeo's suspension articulation is not as good as stock Trooper's suspension articulation. You definitely need some upgrades to Axiom to make it as capable as Trooper off-road.

From my point of view, a 2002 Trooper would be a better buy than Axiom, unless you need that exciting 3.5DI engine in 2004 Axiom.

Oh come on, it's the ONLY thing I've ever come across about the Axiom being modified. It looked pretty cute I thought <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />
