Expert Answers about Isuzu Trooper


  • Wiring Needed to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on 1996 Isuzu Trooper
  • The Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 that you referenced is indeed what you need to install a fully functional 7-Way on your 1996 Isuzu Trooper so that you can install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 to power the trailer's electric brakes. It is okay that the wire colors for the included 7-Way connector do not match up to the wire colors used on your trailer. The pins on the connector will still match up to the pins on the trailer's 7-Way connector with regards to function....

  • Solution for Installing Trailer Wiring on a Vehicle with Separate Turn Signals from Brake Lights
  • Sounds like your Trooper has separate turn signals from the brake lights and what you are trying to do is wire up a trailer connector that is designed for combined circuits. This is a fairly common problem and the solution is to wire in a signal converter like part # RM-732. You will wire your separate turn signals to the input side of the box and then on the output side the signals will match what your trailer needs.

  • Do the Yakima Replacement Bolts Come w/ Nuts?
  • Thanks for the picture! The Yakima Replacement Bolts - 1/4" x 2-1/4" item # Y80011 do not come with nuts. However, judging by the parts you have in your picture I think you need the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Yakima Roof Mounted Ski and Snowboard Carriers item # 8830021. It fits the carriers manufactured after 2006.

  • Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket Recommendation for 1994 Isuzu Trooper
  • There is a Surco Safari roof rack option that I can recommend for your 1994 Isuzu Trooper with raised siderails, but the part # SPS4550-1101 is not it. Instead you would want the adapter part # SPSTR100 and Surco basket part # SPS5060 and you would have everything you would need to install a roof cargo basket on your vehicle.

  • Where Does a Trailer Wiring Harness Install on a 2001 Isuzu Tropper
  • Trailer wiring harness # C55339 installs in a factory wiring harness located on the driver's side of the back of your 2001 Isuzu Trooper. The factory harness should be attached to a grommet between the rear wheel well and the bumper on the exterior of the vehicle. It appears that it also could be near or above an exhaust pipe. Since the vehicle is over 15 years old it is possible that the location is covered with road grime and/or is otherwise difficult to see. It may be easier to find...

  • Does Draw Tite #65004 Front Mount Receiver Fit 2001 Isuzu Trooper LTD?
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 65004, is a front-mount hitch receiver for the Isuzu Hombre. It is not suitable for use on your 2001 Trooper. The required installation hardware and instructions are included with this product when it ships new, but we do offer a replacement hardware kit, part # RHK. I spoke to my technical contacts at Draw-Tite, Reese and HiddenHitch and confirmed that only rear-mount hitch receivers are available for your vehicle. No front-mount...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Connector Not Functioning Properly
  • The first thing to do is figure out if the problem is on your tow vehicle or your trailer. To test this you'll simply need to use a circuit tester # PTW2992 and check the various pin locations for function. For a connector that has both a 4-Way and 7-Way, like the # ETBC7, it would be best to check both connectors so you know if it's that circuit or just that connector. I've attached some photos to show what functions those connectors should carry. If all of your tow vehicle connectors...

  • Location of Vehicle Side Connection Point for Trailer Wiring Harness Installation 1994 Isuzu Trooper
  • According to Tow Ready, the connection point is located underneath your 1994 Isuzu Trooper on the driver side between the rear wheel and bumper. The plug is hidden as it is attached to the back side of a large rubber grommet. According to the illustrations in the instructions, the grommet should also be behind or otherwise near the exhaust. I have attached the installation instructions for reference. If you find the grommet but the wiring harness is not attached, it could have fallen off...

  • Bearing Buddies for a Bearing with 1.625 Inner Diameter on a Motorcycle Trailer
  • Bearing measurements have to be as precise as possible so if you are not using dial or digital calipers you will want to get some. But that is only if you cannot read the bearing number on the outer bearing. It should be stamped into the metal of the bearing. The diameter of the Bearing Buddies is its outer diameter where it fits into the end of the hub. It is actually slightly larger than the opening because you need a very tight fit. If your outer bearing number is # LM-11949 then you...

  • Replacement Handle Nut Availability for Trailer Hitch Install
  • For just the handle nut of the trailer hitch part # 75043 that you referenced it would be part # 1332, which is unfortunately no longer available. If you needed all of the install hardware for this hitch you instead would want the part # RHK. You would then need to select the hitch manufacturer and enter the part number in the box and we will ship you out the correct hardware.

  • Recommendation for Mounting Roof Basket on 1989 Isuzu Trooper
  • I may have an option for you, however your 1989 Isuzu Trooper does not have the type of factory raised side rails that are needed to mount a cargo basket like the Surco Safari Rack # SPS5084-1101 that you referenced. We do not currently have a roof rack available that is confirmed to fit your Trooper, however we do have a system that might work. I recommend taking a look at the Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INSD. These feet are designed to mount to a vehicle's rain gutters like what...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1993 Isuzu Trooper RS with Jeep DV8 Front Bumper Installed
  • Do you know the diameter of the holes on the D-Ring mounts that are on the bumper? If so then you could use Blue Ox adapter such as # BX88296 for 7/8 inch diameter if that is the hole size. There are also options for 3/4 inch D-Rings # RM-035 or 1 inch rings # RM-035-1 but you would then have to use a Roadmaster tow bar such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520. If you go with the Roadmaster set up then the tow bar does not come with safety cables like the Blue Ox Aventa LX does. So for safety cables...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver to Fit a 2002 Isuzu Trooper
  • The correct trailer hitch receiver to fit your 2002 Isuzu Trooper is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13098. It's a custom hitch designed specifically for your vehicle. The # 75278 you asked about does not fit your Trooper because it's designed for GM mini vans, like the Chevy Uplander, from 1997 to 2009.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 3500-lb Trailer and 1998 Isuzu Trooper
  • Weight distribution/sway control (WD/SC) set-ups are needed in several circumstances, such as when the trailer's weight is more than half of the tow vehicle weight. This is surely the case for your trailer and vehicle combination so a WD/SC system will definitely improve your trailering experience by taking away some of the vehicle rear-end sag and trailer sway. The key to choosing the correct system is knowing the total effective tongue weight (TW) of the setup. This total TW is the combination...
