FWIW, I have a '98 Rodeo S that I picked up in July with 48,000 miles on it. I love the truck, espcially now that I have a lift, new tires, and a better stereo. My kids love it, too. They always holler to take my truck instead of mommy's "truck", a '99 Honda CR-V.

Remember, though, that with the 3.2 (and 3.5 motors, too, I think) oil consumption is an issue. It'll need to be checked every thousand miles or so, if not more frequently. I've heard that regular use of Seafoam may be a boon to lae-model Isuzu V6 drivers; it can help remove/ease lifter noise and in one case, I even heard that it can end oil consumption.

Anyway, of course we here are going to recommend that you buy another Isuzu. Why not get a 1st.-gen Trooper, some portal axles, a TD motor, etc. and just go wild? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
