A buddy of mine had a 87 Trooper project that he didn’t get very far into. He had just started rehabbing the fuel system and when he ran into parts availability problems it just kinda got pushed off to the side and more or less forgotten.
Yesterday he mentions in conversation that he’s thinking about getting rid of it so naturally I jumped on it. Well now I have a 87 Trooper. I’ve been missing a old school SUV since I sold my FJ80 so I’m pretty pumped. Now I haven’t even laid eyes on this thing in better than a year and I didn’t pay it a lot of attention then.
Right now I know I need fuel tank vents and grommets, maybe a new fuel pump assembly, and starter (I think the starter was why it was originally parked).
For now my plans are a good baseline with all new fluids, belts, hoses and a good go through on the brakes and suspension. With a little internet research it looks like the fuel vents and related parts are going to be super hard to find so if anyone has a good go to for parts please let me know.
I’ll post some pictures as soon as I get out to his place to go through the truck.
