I retired my 92 Rodeo this weekend and brought home a new '93 Trooper. It came with the original window sticker, and Isuzu calls the color "Cranberry Mica" or something to that effect. My kids have already dubbed the truck the "Purple People Eater". It's a super-clean, bone stock, 1-owner, 100k vehicle and I already love it.

My question: Is the 2nd Gen Trooper a clone of the Rodeo/Amigo/Pup under the skin? What things should I look for on the vehichle? Trouble spots? Also, what easy and economical upgrades should I first consider?

I will be looking to sell the Rodeo shortly as well, but I will post that in the proper forum.

THANKS!
