Our take on a Toyota Troop Carrier Overlanding / Touring Set up.
After years of trying to think how we can make this Troopy our HOME on the ROAD, this is what we have come up with.
We understand that everyones requirements are different but for us, we couldnt be more happier with how the troopy has come up ☺️
We will be on the road touring Australia for 7 months for the very first time.
Please consider subscribing to follow us on our journey.
If you enjoyed this video or have some thoughts on how we went with the set up, feel free to comment as we love hearing feedback.
Thanks for watching 🤙🏽
Cheers,
Ben & Lyds

One thing you could improve. Put a shelf under the toilet to create storage and raise it to the top of the cabinet. Remove the cover and you can use it in place instead of trying to lift out a heavy toilet.

Toilet in its sealed bag gets pretty close to the lid anyways mate. I think I’d rather do my back in than poo in the troopy 😂😂 I see where you are coming from though mate. Cheers for the idea and for watching the videos 🤙🏽🤙🏽

You pulled off a couple of savvy design features and it all looks great, seems like it will be really functional for you. Your finish is the best I've seen for a home jobbie. Well done.

Awesome conversion. Love the idea of the pull out table, would never of thought it could work at that hight bit it looks perfect! One idea could be to increase the hight of your 12v cabinet at end end to give you a bigger level platform at the same hight of your fridge. Thanks for the video! Heaps of great ideas 👌

Well done,, looks great...how do you insure your troops or what insurance would you recommend?

@hookin 24 күн бұрын

Thanks mate, had it insured with nrma but when the overall cost increased the only person who I could get to cover it was club 4x4. Pricey, but piece of mind knowing that it is fully covered of all expenses 👍🏼

Nice build! Was wondering about the latch behind Lyds' right shoulder and whether that's an aftermarket add-on to hold down your roof top or whether it came with your rooftop?

Hey mate, thanks for reaching out. That’s the factory mulgo latch mate. Good thing, no external ones that break all the time 👌🏽

Great Video !!! Question? How do you connect the Cupboards that you take out once you are finished and want the back seat in. Did you just screw them together or bolt down to the Floor...Cheers Guys!!

@hookin Жыл бұрын

Hi mate, thanks for the feedback. They are bolted into the holes that secure the seats and also bolted together. So yeah just unbolt them from each other and then remove the bolts holding them into the floor. 👌🏽 hope this helps ☺️

Hey mate ,love your fitout. What materials did you use

@hookin Ай бұрын

Hi Mark, nice to hear from you again mate. It’s a mixture of form ply, marine ply and just that laminated Bunnings pre cut timber sheets. I don’t recommend form ply at all. It’s a very basic form of ply and not really suitable for this application. I was just drawn to it due to its texture. It worked and it was fine but I would use something different if I was doing it again.

@markdoyle3762 Ай бұрын

Have been watching your walk through vid of your fitout build. Think you used precut for draws and Vertical outside plates? and marine ply for draw sides and walkway walls? Was form ply for base?. Ps nice fish 🐟

How do you find the Engel Combi? What temp is the freezer on the get about 2 degrees in the fridge? Cheers.

@hookin Жыл бұрын

Pretty much flat out, -17 or something not really sold on it. Would be better having two thermostats and controls I think. But it’ll probably never break so 🤷🏽‍♂️

@outdoors5352 Жыл бұрын

@@hookin Yeah I've heard some similar feedback. I've got just a regular Engel 40 litre and been happy with it, but was exploring fridge/freezer set ups. I'll probably stick with the 40 though. Like you said, it'll last a long time. Mines already 8 years old so far, fingers crossed for another 8 at least.
