Acura Gave This 1997 SLX a Modern AWD System and a 350-HP VTEC Engine
For those that are uninitiated in the world of 2nd Generation Isuzu Troopers (and shame on you for not being!) from 1997-2000 Honda badge engineered the highest trim level Trooper (the SE) as the Acura SLX for the US market. They are pretty damn rare, something like less that 7,000 sold in the US (that said, I've stripped parts of at least two at the junkyard).
The jist of the article is that for this years Radwood in LA (Radwood is awesome, everyone should check it out!) Acura decided to take an SLX and totally redo it with a modern drivetrain out of a MDX. Perhaps not the most robust upgrade to keep the SLX as a true off-roader; but pretty damn cool.
