Dont quote me on that <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> If you look at the front suspension it will look very familiar. I dont know who actually builds it, probably GM. --Dave 1999 Rodeo LS 3.2 4x4 5 Speed 32x11.50-15 BFG T/A KO on US Wheel 94 series 3" Lift - Rancho 9000x Rear No-Slip Locker Flowmaster 50 series SUV 2.25" There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." - Dave Barry Re: Isuzu / colorado?

I test drove a Colorado, Canyon, and I 380 they are the same. I noticed no Difference in ride quality, Power, Room, everything is the same Isuzu just put their Emblems on it and changed the interior just a little bit in someways. Other than that they are the same. 89'Isuzu Trooper LS 5 spd 2.6L 31" Big O X/T's 15x8 Eagle 058's K&N Filter w/ Air Box Mod 2.25" DynoMax SuperTurbo PolyUrathane/Indy4X Bushings Suspension/ FrontEnd Tech/Hunter Certified Alignment Tech.

GM put their ugly front end on it and their drive train though. Then isuzu changed the badges back to isuzu. --Dave 1999 Rodeo LS 3.2 4x4 5 Speed 32x11.50-15 BFG T/A KO on US Wheel 94 series 3" Lift - Rancho 9000x Rear No-Slip Locker Flowmaster 50 series SUV 2.25" There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness." - Dave Barry Re: Isuzu / colorado?

Maybe I'll drop in my trusty 2.6L and then it'll have a little more of the Zu in it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the input, keep em' coming...
