In December 1981, the UBS-1 Jackaroo Four was presented as a three-door off-road vehicle with all-wheel drive and a separate frame. It was built by Isuzu in Japan and sold outside of Japan and New Zealand as an Isuzu Trooper. There were two levels of equipment: Standard and Deluxe, the latter was created by the additional package V9K .

There was a choice of two four-cylinder gasoline engines with a displacement of 2.0 liters or 2.3 liters and a similar diesel engine with a displacement of 2.2 liters. In each case, the engines were combined with a manual four-speed gearbox.

In 1982 there was a small facelift and the Jackaroo continued to be built in this constellation until the beginning of 1984.
