The long wheel base is called a Holden/Isuzu Frontera. It was available with the 2.6 or 3.2 petrol engines both of which were 6 cylinder variants and possibly the 2.8 diseisel turbo.

The Isuzu Trooper is called Jackaroo in Australia.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

From 92 to 95 all the Fronteras here had leaf suspension and rear drum brakes, then from 95 on they all went coil suspension with disc brakes all round.

The A series continued to 1998 when the B Series new shape started to appear in the UK.

I think the confusion is the A series had both coil and leaf suspension.

Hope this helps bud :D

Sounds like its the same as the USA, Frontera's (Amigo-SWB and Rodeo-LWB) there they didnt get coil rear ends until I think 98' on, which would be the new shape.
