Talkin to the local dealer today and they told me that the F'terra is being
discontinued because the plant in Indiana is now soley owned by Subaru and
thats were there made. They are also dissapointed as the F'terra is begining
to sell well...
Also the Jackeroo may still live yet.... As GMH own the Jack design, name
and rights to build the vehicle, they are looking to manufacture a new
updated Jack in Thailand in the same plant as the RA Rodeo. Same running
gear but updated body and interior. It all depends on projected sales and
exports...
Just some info!!!!!

True, its getting a little long in the tooth. They need to totally change the look. But as long as its an Isuzu and its called a Jackaroo, Ill be happy.
Though it would be hard to imagine a Jackaroo without that classic boxy look! :wink:

Couldn't agree more with MIB, look how many of us no longer own Frumpterras.
They should never have been allowed on the market in the first place.

If they are gonna keep building Jackaroo's.. someone needs to tell Holden/Isuzu to consider beefing up the stock suspension in the front. Our work Jackaroo has only done just short of 26,000 and the shocks are already well worn... could always take it out of the budget and go for some OME Nitrochargers, doubt it would be approved how ever :(

So what sort of conditions is it put through? I think that a lot of vehicles have stock suspension that isnt up to the mark for serious offroad work... Definately worth hitting up the boss for some OMEs or Ranchos!
