WATCH OUT FOR WHEEL LUGS
Ken anderson, 04/15/2003
1992 Isuzu Rodeo S 4dr SUV
after having my beloved Rodeo for 11
years i needed a Brake job so i took it
in the dealer called me to tell me the
Bolts and Lugs where coming off
stripped apparently Isuzu made both out
of Alummion and over time they will
strip each other so when you take them
off they will come off stripped (
imagine having that happen with a Flat
tire on the side of the road late at …
night)

1993 Isuzu Rodeo S 4dr SUV 4WD
I've had my Rodeo for 8 years, it has 192,000 miles on it. My dad wanted me to get rid of it a long time ago and buy something more economical, but I decided I would drive it into the ground, and I'm having a hard time killing it! So far I've replaced the alternator twice in it; it's in a tricky location near the bottom of the engine block so it gets gooked up with anything that drips … on it from above. There have been other minor fixes that can be expected for a 17 year old car, but seeing as I originally paid $5,000 for it, it has been an unbelievable value, and I'm glad I didn't take my dad's advice because I have had so much fun in it over the years.

3rd world tested!

1992 Isuzu Rodeo S 4dr SUV
let's see -4 cyl, 5 speed - drove across the US 4 times (east/west) 4 times north/south, and used as a daily vehicle from early '93-2000. Had 150k miles when moved to central america with it. Abused this perfect truck for 4 years on rock roads and pure dust. SOld it in '04 w/ over 250k miles to a friend who gave it some needed care on suspension and it is still going today! NEVER … failed - can't say enough - only one flaw was the funky wheels - lugs with springs (which one tire shop in florida left off causing tires to nearly come off on highway) - getting flats in central america was no fun having to find those springs/lock washers at night in the dirt !
