After all the woes with my 2004 Trooper Insignia, I finally gave in and sold it ( I did advertise it with the goofy engine ) for £1500 to someone who said they would sort it.
I don't know if they ever did.
At the time , coincidentally, a neighbour of mine was selling his 2009 Toyota Land Cruiser LC4,( Astral Black Metallic )with just 22,000 miles on it, so I bought it. It's a lovely vehicle, but I still hankered after a nice Trooper, similar to my own.
I came across one last week, and it was so nice, one owner, very low miles with a full dealer history( R N Golden ) from new, so I bought it and the Land Cruiser is now for sale.

Nothings perfect, even a Trooper.
It has two faults: The d/s mirror doesn't retract and the coach lines need replaced.
Fortunately, the coach lines are still available from Isuzu but, unfortunately the price has been set by *beep* Turpin in the parts department, but as I want to keep it in it's original condition, I'm going to succumb. |

Coach lines are just standard things ...you can get them from any decent accessory shop or halfords ...best bet is e b a y ....just search twin silver pin stripes or whatever style/colour you want they'll only be a few £££'s _________________ LTM NO.41 |

I've tried them, but they're not quite, wrong shade.
The originals are screen printed as well. |
