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.

Awesome rig guys, can’t beat a troopy for a self contained tourer, they are just awesome. If the finances allow it at some point, chuck a turbo on the 1hz, just a little bit of boost and you won’t know yourself! I’ve got a GQ patrol set up as a tough tourer so I can’t fit as much gear as you guys, but I love doing the hard tracks so a troopy wouldn’t be for me.

Literally have the same set up with the alu cab stuff but will be changing out my alucab 270 awning... with a better one, it sagged within a month of use. I do like the set up inside as well, will need to get something professional done for mine. The side doors I looked up Alu-Innovations and they sell versa boxes for the side doors (or just make your own). Will be getting that camp cover bag thingy been looking for one of those. Love the set up gave me more ideas.

Great set up 👍 What sort of price were the seats? I need something like that, cheers
@itsJackandMegan 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate. The seats are around the $4500 mark for the pair new. But if your lucky you could score them secondhand for around $1000-2000

Did you have to get engineering certification from DOT WA? The front passenger side in the troopy would've been a 3/4 bench seat. Got a 1995 75 Series RV (10 seater; 3 up front, 3 across the middle and 4 at the very back on 2 side facing benches. Looking to do what you've done, i.e. 2 aftermarket front seats from Stratos.

@@eaglen00b hi mate funny you mention that. The seats are all fitted properly with proper adaptors ect When it went over the pits for the alucab conversion nothing was said so I kept it that way. Engineering the seats will be on the cards later down the track.

I’m not 100% sure mate but we use it everyday it’s one of the best modifications to the car we have made. Can’t find any info online to in regards to weather it’s legal or not.

Hi, I’m retiring next year and my wife and I were wondering what drone and editing program you use so we can make some videos of our trip around Australia for my daughters and grandkids of our travels , any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks Laurie and Sabine from Darwin 👍😃

Hi how you going mate. We use a program called premier pro. With a bit of KZfaq tutorials you will be a pro in no time. Mavic pro is what we use for our drone setup but would recommend the newer mavic pro 2. They have inbuilt sensors so it makes it pretty hard to crash. Thanks mate enjoy.

Nice setup but how do you get out, e.g. at night to take a pee with the LH side bench all the way up to the small door? You have to open both doors to get out, don't you? I am working on my set-up and want to keep that bench 30/40cm short so stepping out via the small door only is doable.. Your idea?
@itsJackandMegan Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching mate! We use the toilet down below at night so no need to get out. But if we wanted to get out it’s very easy we just open the small door and jump out. Plenty of room to squeeze out without having to open the big door
@Eastbound Жыл бұрын
@@itsJackandMegan ok thanks. I also noticed that your opening latch on the small door is gone for the benefit of the storage room in the door. How do you open it now from the inside without the latch.. ?

I will add if you can give a rough $ for everything. I'm watching your video, then I have to click a link or Google search to find out $. Just mention "it's around the xx$ when we bought it".
