About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

You have that looking good with none of the sway-backed mule body drop at the front of the cab. No doubt as a long term owner your oldie will be onto it but for yourself, be watchful of the left side wheel nuts coming loose. Getting water on them crossing a couple of floodways was enough to set them off from dead tight at the beginning of a trip to a wheel coming off after 215 miles on a mix of dirt road and sealed road but mostly sealed road. The front wheel began to rumble and fortunately rode on the Warn hub into the moment I halted when it popped off and the front dropped. Four of the rear left wheel nuts had also lost tension. Another newer Arkana-bodied Toyota also used to loosen the left wheel nuts. There would always be one or two which would snug up when checked. Also watch out for an internal rust in the hollow ends of the track rod and drag link. There is a sort of collar rot happens inside where the ball joint threads reach inside the hollowed ends of the drag link and track rod. Maybe the steel was better on the 1980s vehicles but on a 1967 FJ45 I had, I got a decent scare when I saw just how thin the metal had become from rust. Water gets in through the slots under the clamps.

I‘m following your videos for some time since we have also built our Troopy over the last few years, not yet finished. love your yellow FJ beauty, great job, what you both have created and achieved can‘t be expressed in simple words 👍👍 if you plan to take the loved yellow FJ more often down the beach, think about having a good rust protection for the frame inside and outside and the chassis, it pays out quickly. we did the same for our Troopy, since it was completely unprotected inside and outside undebody. you‘ve spend somuch effort, time and money in your beauty, would be a pity to have rust in or on it... looking forward to following your future adventures ! cheers guys 👍

But it handled well... Have you been able to work out the economy of the engine yet? Both on sand and road? Is it the normal 90 Litre tank you have on Dimples? So looking forward to your next video guys... Take care
