Good evening all. Hope that you had a great 4th of July. Looking to build out my Troopy (45 Series) to have a kitchen and sleeping area for my son and me to take to BMX races as well as overlanding weekends. I cannot find any threads that aren't 70-series Troopy buildouts. Any help or...

Et3surge, did you ever find the step by step to take the roof off of a Troopy?

Hey everyone. I have looked around and cannot find any Troopy build threads. Maybe I'm missing something but would like to see what mods folks have done to their Troopys. Also, does anyone make rock sliders/steps for a FJ45 Troopy? Thanks!

I'll try to whisper sweet nothings in her ear to see if I can smooth out her choking issues :rofl:. From what I've read the vacuum leak can also affect the windshield wipers (which aren't working either) in addition to engine mpg. Anything else?

Thanks, Brian. Is that hard to do? I'm sure that is a bombshell of a question..... Never mind. Read some stuff here and online and will check the hoses tomorrow.

Thx. 2F. It is dying when I put it back in. Needs to warm up more?

Ok, I just received my FJ45 Troopy that I purchased recently and am a total newb. I pull out the choke/throttle pull to start it and then should the knob go halfway back in for driving? Thanks!

Yes, I am for this one I guess. I was asking questions about the FJ45 Troopy and therefore posted here. Guess I should post in the 62 forum too?

Hey everyone. I just looked back at my post and realized that I must not have had enough coffee when I filled out my profile. My Cruiser is a 1989 FJ62 :). Sorry. Here's my girl. Have pretty much everything inside as original but she obviously needs so body work :).

Thanks dlzadl. I have researched a fair amount on classic.com etc and this one was just sold in Oct of last year for $47,300 and I think they are trying to make a quick profit. Now that sale was on Barrett-Jackson as an auction which we both now depends on who is watching it etc. Any thoughts?

I'm sure you all have seen this one. Other than the price being way to high, what are your thoughts? https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars/1983/toyota/land_cruiser/101417473

Thanks, guys. I would personally want a LHD, gas or diesel and like the 45 series. Would be great if it was restored to some degree. The only one out there right now appears to be WAY overpriced.

Good morning! I am new to this group. Bought a 1986 FJ40 from a friend of mine a few years ago. Interior is pretty nice. Lots of rust on bottom of the doors but I'm going to slowly get to having it redone. I personally enjoy all of the FJ4X models. I live in northern Michigan and am a...
