As always thanks for watching,
Cheers
Holly & Matt
The decals are spot on and a very nice touch, makes it unique. I would be happy to own it, great job so far.
Mark and James of Rapid Power are absolute gentlemen... great choice there, they know their stuff...
They have been great to deal with. Good to hear you've had a good experience with their products.
Looks great and the mods are sensible and reliable, should have this for many years of fun touring and just doing stuff. Love the front bar, looks light but strong, hopefully you will never need it. Enjoy and keep the updates coming
Yep I hope we don’t need it either!
Fantastic rig mate 👍
The troopy is looking amazing!!
looks bloody gorgeous guys hands down one of the best looking troopys iv seen, 😀
We think so as well! Very happy so far :)
Lovin the decals. Troopy looks great!
The sound track is dope
very comprehensive build, it will be great to see your lived in experience with the new and enhanced rig.
Can’t wait to travel in it!
@@OverlandTravellers are you going for upright or conventional fridge?
@@MrGgraham76 going for an upright right at the back so it’s the first thing we can open
Epic guys! It's come together so well. 🔥
Cheers guys we think so as well!
Absolutely stunning. I love the stripes. I had them on my 61 and plan on putting them on our 70 series as well.
Yeah the more I look at the decal the more I like it
Everything look Beautiful
Happy Easter 🐣 🐇 Troopy looking awesome 👌 love it 😀 😊 Greetings and cheers, Mate 🍻 from south africa 🇿🇦
Matt thanks for the update 👍👍👍
That striping is schmick mate, damn good choice, sets it off nicely..
Such a GREAT build, which I could purchase one here in the States.
I've never heard of Headspace Campers before. But I've just checked their website and the product does look good. Though not much information and/or photos of the interior of RT conversion. I can't even see a single photo of the bed raised from the inside. They need more videos on the product, and how it works. Is it just like the Hercules or Kronos on how the bed operates? You guys should offer them your services on how they can improve their website and the marketing of their product.
Yep thats the plan mate I will be doing a full walkthrough and I will get plenty of great images for them on our trip soon!
Bit fancy compared to the old Hilux mate. The stripes are the icing on the cake.
Looks good, will need to unlock a few more horses from V8 to get the best out of it. A tip for your rear bag is we cut the top of a plastic jerry and fit it in there, it keeps it clean and easy to lift out to empty. Not sure how big yours is but something to fit in there is the go.
Good tip we will look into that, also we already have a tune done…. Probably the best mod so far it’s a lot nicer to drive
@@OverlandTravellers They are under tuned but with a tickle they are good, Thanks
It's coming along nicely. It's a shame you're no longer getting the roof conversion done by Project Overlander, as I was looking forward to what that looked like. At the moment, out of the ones commercially available, I like the Alu-Innovations the best. I like how the profile of the roof when closed, slopes slightly down at the front (following loosely the original roof profile).
It is a shame but glad we have an amazing option with Headspace campers if you like the profile of the Kronos you’ll love the headspace conversion, it looks amazing.
@@OverlandTravellers I've never heard of Headspace Campers before. And I've just checked their website now, and their Troopy roof top conversion does look good. Manufacturers of roof top conversion products for the Troopy should consider incorporating aluminium channels (ie. extrusions etc) that run along the sides (on both upper and lower sections) of the roof top conversion. That way you can mount accessories (ie. roof rack cross bars, awnings, en-suites, shovels, etc). like you can on RTTs.
@@fatmanoverlanding yep it’s fully Aussie made as well. They have the option for roof rails to be added :)
Thanks for the ideas. We just got a v8 24 model and loving the ideas and businesses you're putting forward.
Nice! With the facelift?
Oh guys, it’s looking so good. Absolutely loving this build. Also keen to see what you think of that head unit 👍👍.
Yeah we have had a bit of a go with the head unit, still figuring everything out but Apple CarPlay is verrrrryyy nice to have
Decals are Spotty Dog !
Dalmatian
I wish this was my vehicle
you should do a meet up at Project Overlander when you are there one night
We have do that before there! Maybe when it’s nearly done we will do one :)
Awesome ❤👍
Я не люблю Тойоту. Но совсем другое дело Ленд Крузер 70, настоящий мужской автомобиль , сердце замирает от одного вида.
70 крузер Супер!!!!
Looking good
Thanks 👍
Ahh mate, forgetting to fit a towbar is like forgetting your bags when you go grocery shopping 🤦♂hahaha
I forget bags pretty much every time
I'd put Dana 60s with lockers front and back. And why didn't you take spare wheel bearings?
So amazing... looking awesome. 315/75/16 tires?
can you build for 3 persons seats and sleeping
Awesome😂
What flares (black) are installed?
What year is this troopy?
Did the difference of size in the aftermarket alternator pulley affect the fitment and tension of the serpentine belt?
How’s the head to unit now that you’ve used it for a couple months? I also have to have Apple CarPlay.
Going good, a little slow to connect to a phone but a big step up from OEM. He has a new one out with a better processor so should be faster :) Defiantly worth it
First mod I did was replace the alternator with a Terrain Tamer air cooled sealed unit............no power your going nowhere.Must do mod,much more important than the wheel track issue .
Yep its certainly something to consider if you're touring. I agree it is more important than the track correction
Do you really need 35" for your content style ?
They’re 315’s…. And nope absolutely not, in fact I’d tell most people shouldn’t get them for a troopy….. but I love the way they look so much I’d do it again. Besides that our main travel buddy adrian has the same size so we can share spares. Also a few people I know have the same size on their 70’s and they really rate them. But mainly I think they look good.
After Basic traveling in you Lux und 45 your 78 is absolutely over eqipped and will be too heavy.
Yep can’t wait
What’s the tire size ?
315/75 R16
'overland'...... that aint aussie, thats murica talk
What should we call it?
@OverlandTravellers should call it fkn strayaaaaaa 4x4 haha only joking !
Sheesh that’s tuff
