Drop kick the golf ball as well and seal up the snorkel (safari it minimum) good buy, look fwd to see what you turn it into. Battle of the Troopy’s you’ll need to do a Troopy trip with Andrew the Troop master now, you Torbs and Andrew that would be trippy🤪

Ronny St Pierre Dahl? In all seriousness though… a brilliant buy. I’ll be watching the build process on this one carefully as a pre-DPF, V8 Troopy is my dream vehicle. I understand the reasoning behind the vinyl floor mats. But as the current owner of a 105 with hand winders… maybe you could do a conversation from a GXL for the door cards and power lifters…

Legend! Mine's a 2019. It's a huge blank canvas - glad you are giving it some time to get your head around the fitout. The trick I think is to keep it lightweight so you get a much more capable vehicle. The tall skinny tyres are the go and don't bother with a roofrack which is a lot of weight up top to bugger up the centre of gravity - already has huge storage inside. I have flexible solar panels on the roof - mounted to Rhino tracks.

Brilliant! Great to see your passion for the 70 series and of course the troopy. I’m over in New Zealand and considered the troopy a couple of years ago but went with a new 2021 76 as I’ve kids and didn’t want to cut a door into the side of a new troopy. Probably the first thing I’d do with your troopy would be to black out the windows to give privacy in the back when sleeping in it and to stop prying eyes. Can’t wait to see where you go with it and what you do with it. Happy Easter indeed 👌🙂

Stick with skinny tyres for the Troopy. They look perfect with tall, skinny tyres (225/95R16 or 255/85R16). No need for huge, wide tyres for an overland and tourer vehicle build like this. Just adds unnecessary weight and leads to extra stress on components.

Had a 92 Troopy with 1HZ - gave it an OME suspension, rear air locker, 32 x 11 x 15 BFG muddies. Also added Mercedes Benz bus mirrors - bloody beautiful! Went 400,000k before I sold it - still think I should have kept it... it was terrific. Went all over Oz and the only thing that went in 10 years was a fuel solenoid. BTW - Nissan rear pull bracket fits perfectly in the troopy chassis - bolt holes are alrady pre drilled - and makes a great recovery point above the towbar.

Saw the interview with 4xoverland. Why you didn’t take a Iveco Daily 4x4. Yes it is much bigger than a Troopie. But much more comfortable for 3 persons. You may see, at your Alaska trip, you spend a lot of time inside because of bad weather. Shipping in a Container is possible wenn you have a popup roof. I prefer Ro-Ro, ist easier and doesn’t need so much preparation. Costwise, vom Australia to US, it should be cheaper cause the ships are almost empty on this route

He will. My wife & I joked that he’ll spend at least another $100k on it to satisfy his OCD. Lights, oh there will be lights... Lights on it, on top of it, under it, in it, in the wheel arches, in the grille, on the side, bam bam bam, lights! Then there’s the epic 12v work he’ll have done to it. Rack systems that he’ll fit, ditch then fit replacements. The rear cargo space will have extensive work done to it then will be face lifted 3 times afterward. Then the main interior will be face lifted twice. It’ll get a custom exhaust & unique bar work. Brush bars fitted then removed. Then another bar fitted. Another extensive set of recovery gear. This car will cost an absolute fortune but I suppose the ammo’s there for another 50-100 Ch7 & KZfaq videos and that’s what it’s all about in the end.

Ronnie - go the skinny tyres. They look so cool. Easier to miss the potholes. The 225/95r16 Dunlop road grippers are great. I see too many troopies with huge tyres that are heavier and then need a rear bar. No need and makes opening the rear a pain.

Great build quality and you can get it in either the dual wheel carrier or wheel and Jerry format. Australian designed and made too!

Well I can respect your choice here. I do quite like the Troopy and really look forward to seeing what you do with it. As for the "Feeling" you vehicle part, I know exactly what you mean. There is a connection between a driver and their vehicle that many would never understand, A point where you hear a sound or feel a slight vibration and know that is not normal. That vehicle feels like an extension of yourself and that is exactly how I feel with my Pajero. I would love to see it turned into a mobile home sort of rig with a bed and everything in the back. Ive done that with my Pajero and absolutely love it. So simple and easy when out on trips but with the Troopy you have so many options and so much space to work with so I am excited to see what you do.

Hey Legend stoked you joined the club! First thing would be changing the rear springs to parabolics. Completely changes the vehicles handling and comfort. It’s like getting a coil conversion. You won’t regret it. Especially on the long trips. Speaking of, invest in some good seats. Xr6 seats are popular with the huracan adaptors. The factory seats will give you a back injury after time 😅

Welcome to the Troopy club :-). A roof conversion is probably the best you can do. But check out carefully which one you choose. I decided to go with an individual solution because in bad weather conditions the possibility to sit upright without opening the roof is a big plus. Also a suspension upgrade is a must have, the original one is too soft with all the mods…. I’m doing my build also step by step, so I know exactly whats need to work better on the next trip. Have fun an I‘m already looking forward hearing about your ideas and thoughts. Keep us updated! Cheers mate!

I’m super keen to see how you fit your troop out, especially if your going to accommodate more than 2 passengers. We currently have a 11 seater 09 model, with three kids its hard to know just how to set it up to accommodate for comfort on long trips etc. I’ve removed the rear two seats and put in temporary draws with a walk way down the side to the small door. Have toiled with the idea of a forward facing seat in the middle so the rear can be really decked out but the access via front pass seat brings back memories of two door jeeps/zooks.. a third door is out of the question for me.

@RonnyDahl I think the 11 comes from middle seat at the front - common feature in the african bush 😁

Since you want to leave it on the East get a rtt and keep the seats or a similar setup as a lounge room/kitchen. Doubles up as accommodation for mates and is a life saver in the rain.

Great, It feels right Ronny, The Hilux didn't feel right for you form the start. Very excited to see it moving forward.

Well done Ronny! Best thing you have done in a long while, was worried when you started that hilux. Can’t go past a 70 series !

Great choice and a great platform. I can see genuine excitement from you. Just remember it's not a ute. Both utes and vans haves advantages and disadvantages. Best thing about a troopy is that you can throw your shit in and use it right away and lock everything up without any mods. Happy Days.

At first I thought the infamous Mr White might have been bending your ear but when I heard your reasoning behind the choice it totally sold me on the idea, good solid thinking. Looking forward to seeing Ronny's take on the Troopy! Look at that space in there! You could fill it with so many expensive whatnots and doodads! Awesome :-)
