I sold my first 'zu so I could buy something to tow with. I ended up with a full size Bronco and I loved it.
I always regretted selling the old Trooper (1990 that sold to Rip De Lips several years back, now I believe it belongs to Paul Evans...)
I finally had the opportunity to get another Trooper... The unfortunate part is that I have to start modding all over again, while the great part is that I got a newer one with a more powerful engine. I have noticed that the prices of the parts has shot up a bit, making it no less expensive to lift a trooper than any other truck. Last time it was easy and cheap... Oh well... such is the way of things.
The other negative to me selling the '90 is that I no longer had a need to come to this site, so I located one for the Bronco. I met a good group of guys there and got involved in some wrenching and off road rides, but the group over here seems to be a bit more closely-knit. Maybe it is because we have an interest in an unusual (albiet very capable) brand of trucks, where the Full Size Broncos are a "dime-a-dozen" breed.
After a long hot summer of wrenching on the Bronco and over 3,ooo in parts and services, and after step tubes, lift and larger tires, I happily sold it and jumped at the chance to have my very own 2G Trooper.
The Bronco and I logged many a mile together, and I shall miss him, but he did go to a good home where the new owner will take care of him. I can always find another one later. Next time, I won't sacrafice my Trooper to get one.
It took me several days to re-find this website. I found several others, but none begin to compare to this one!
Now... Having said that... I need to start scraping parts together to lift my '94. This time I don't have to fool with motor changes and TBIs and seventeen other mods to try to squeeze 3 more horsepower from a weak- <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> motor!
So in summary, the new Troop would have to really become a dog of a truck before I would give any consideration to selling it.
So now... Let's make the Trooper in the right picture below look more like the Trooper in the Left picture.
