I love it. I'm from the land down under I've being working on one for last couple years to get on the road after I purchased it. Working on the house it had to take second spot which has pissed me off. I only get to go home every 2nd weekend, I'm so close just need to do some rust repairs now. The mechanic side I've already sorted. If I could take 6 weeks off work I would have it done. I luv the pop up roof. Anyway nice rig
Any chance you could give me an idea of what the bad weather bed setup looks like? I'm intrigued by the panels coming down to make a bed, and interested to see how that would work, especially with the bench seat in the back. We're in the process to do the same, also leaving that same bench seat, and juggling ideas for a bad weather bed. We also have a poptop btw similar to yours. Thanks a lot in advance!!
FFS, it's not emooo, it's emu. Can you guys in the U.S. actually get it right ??? An "Emu" is a bird that is native to Australia (be it a pain in the arse!) it is on our coat of arms & part of who we are, so PLEASE ....... pronounce it as it is spelt, with the "U" (I can't see oooo in there)
At 8:25 I notice the factory steel bash plate protecting the transmission/diff is missing in this build. My 75 series troopy has this. You guys planning to fit a custom bash plate?

A thing of beauty mate. Great troopy....
Hey legend, I see you arent stickered up. Take a photo of your rig and send it to join Troopcarriers of Australia group, if you havent already. cheers
Cool rig, lot of work there,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice cruiser, Just get a 4inch stainless steal snorkel fitted, the one that's fitter will leak where it is joined if you go under water.
Gday from Australia! This is a very schmick build :)
Excellent! Thank you

That turned out awesome Carl !!!! Looks great :)
Glad you enjoyed this! More coming.
Beautiful car mate!
BP-51 shocks? I thought the bp-51s wouldn't fit the older models? Do you have any specifics, I'd love to put some under my 75 series Troopy.
Awesome rig, hopefully going to see it at the NWOR this year! What flares are those? Looking to source some for my 75 ute. Cheers.
Yep, will be there!
Great build! Where did you source those flares? Thx
That’s Awesome!
Thank you Matthew!

How did you connect the LED lights in the bumper?
Who did the body restoration work?

That is a sweet truck, looks better than Andrew St. Pierre Whites troopy!! Wonder how much money is in it? I'm guess North of $80k
