White 1981 Troop Carrier imported from Saudi Arabia (clean title) and 163,000 original kilometers. It has a Man-A-Fre 4+ rear bumper, a brand new H55F 5-Speed tranny, a brand new clutch and a rebuilt transfer case. All work was done by Safari LTD in Grand Junction, CO. We bought it from a guy in Grand Junction who was moving to Australia. We have the original back benches, but opted to put in new 5 point harness PRP seats for a comfortable road trip with our two children. We also have brand new tires on it, a pop-up tent and E-z awning, (new windows that haven't been installed yet)as well as brand new seals (all ordered from Safari LTD). I took it apart and went through and cleaned everything (full of sand from the desert) and I've put multiple other OEM parts into it. The only other thing than the seats that is not custom is the headliner which I made a fabric liner for and it really helped with the noise when you are on the freeway. Also, we installed a new stereo. The tub is rusted in the usual areas and I was eventually going to have a new tub manufactured, but unfortunately I won't be able to now. I drive it weekly short distances. We took it on a trip with our kids from vail, co (where we used to live) to oregon and down the coast into cali and back home. It did awesome!! No fluid leaks. Power steering. We took the top off to redo the headliner and re-fiberglassed and gel-coated the entire top again. The windshield does fold down. All new door seals front and rear and have new seals driver and passenger doors that haven't been installed yet. We have two new rear sliding replacement windows. All new locking mechanism and strikes for the door jam. Doors work properly. The door seals are fine and installed..no leaks. No other areas of rust. It's a brand new OEM replacement fender. The mirrors are off because we have two brand new ones that haven't been installed yet. Yes it's an aftermarket bumper and yes it has a wench. The roof tent and awning are in perfect condition. We have aftermarket high intensity headlights, dual battery system and lights, horns, wipers all work. Old man Emu Dakar suspension with a full floating rear end. Front disc brakes and its 5 speed transmission. The AC unit is factory and no issues except it needs to be recharged. Also, I have many other OEM parts that he purchased through Safari in Grand Junction. We paid 21k for it and put a few thousand more into it. Asking $20,000 obo.

Thanks for your interest. I am having to sell (very regretfully) because I am moving and need to scale my toy collection way down. We have brand new tires on it, and it includes a pop-up tent and E-z awning. We bought it from a guy in Grand Junction, CO who was moving to Australia 3 years ago. We only have the two original back benches (Hugh at Safari LTD in Grand Junction did most of the work on this and he may still have the other seats) and we installed new 5 pt harness seats from PRP in the front and a PRP bench in the rear for our road trip so our kids would be comfy. It has 163k original kilometers-2F engine. We drive it weekly short distances. We took it on a trip with our kids from Vail, co (where we used to live) to Oregon and down the coast into Cali and back home. It did awesome!! No fluid leaks. Power steering. We took the top off to re-do the headliner and re-fiberglassed and gel-coated the entire top again. The windshield does fold down. All new door seals front and rear and have new seals driver and passenger doors that haven't been installed yet. We have two new rear sliding replacement windows. All new locking mechanism and strikes for the door jam. Doors work properly. Dual battery system. The door seals are fine and installed..no leaks. Typical rusting in rear tub and some on floor of driver and passenger front. We were going to have a new rear tub manufactured but now we have to sell because of our move. It has a brand new OEM replacement fender. The mirrors are off because we have two brand new ones that haven't been installed yet. It has an aftermarket bumper and it has a wench. The roof tent and awning are in perfect condition. We have aftermarket high intensity headlights, dual battery system and lights, horns, wipers all work. Old man emu Dakar suspension with a full floating rear end. Front disc brakes and its 5 speed transmission. The AC unit is factory and no issues except it needs to be recharged. Loose wire on floor is for the stereo and one of the loose wires runs from the from to the back and is for an extra dome light. We move in 50 days so we would like to sell it before that if possible. Also, I have many other OEM parts that I purchased through Safari in Grand Junction, CO. I just haven't had the time to install them. I will add lots of photos tomorrow including the rusted areas.

Pm'd you first!
 
Your pm box is full. Still for sale?
 
Good luck with this sale/purchase

I emailed/talked to Ross (assuming he's still the owner) many, many times in June of this year in a valiant attempt to purchase this Troopy. I'm not sure why/how, but my purchase offers (97% of asking price) were never addressed and I ended up tracking down another Troopy, which I now own.

I wish Ross and any potential buyer best of luck with the sale.
