Decided it's time to sell the troopy. My use case changed a bit and I'm not using it as much as it deserves. I'll post an ad soon, but interested parties can reach out in the meantime. 1988 Trakka - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1988-trakka.1210933/

Great thread, thank you, but pretty scary. I hope I never have to do body work on my rusty troopy. Where would you stop?

Made an oil filter wrench

I need 2 new batteries for my Trakka Troopy, 12volt with a 12HT. I have a solar panel but it's not wired to anything. I know very little. It's my understanding that ideally, I would have a starter battery and a deep cell house battery. But without the right charging system in the car, it won't...

Smash and grab last month. @ofer bruhis to the rescue! I asked where to order new glass, and he said he had one 7 miles away, but he didn't know which side, and told me to come by the next day after work. Fortunately he had the correct side, and I installed it the following day. Less than 3 days...

I think it was the steering ball joints, but there could be more. I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer that. After giving up, I wanted to get the same roh wheels but shipping wasn't worth it. And if I had to choose again, I'd try to get the roh wheel and not have the spacer. If I ever wear out...

USW-70-5860 Wheel, 8-Spoke, Steel, White, 15 in. x 8 in., 6 x 5.5 in. Bolt Circle, 3.75 in. Backspace, Each (Mfr. #: 70-5860) and had to use spacers to match the offset on the old wheels,

No, and after a second wheel developed a leak in the same spot, I gave up and painted 5 new white wagon wheels.

Reminded me of this 14 year, 76 page thread on a 914. Will he finish the car before you finish the thread? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=278488f8b0413005ed928a3798f424d6&showtopic=84842 Sorry for the hijack, stuff like this makes the internet great.

I just discovered this 10 year old thread. The suspense while reading, will it be finished by the time I end page 5? NO! I don't have the patience, eyesight or dexterity to do what you're showing us. Thank you. Fantastic work, but hurry up!

Quick trip to the sierras off highway 4. Saw this "4Runner"

Mount Adams in Washington. Lunch break, the cocktail table is one of my favorite features. Overlooking the Klickitat River at a turnout, met a local with an FJ60, didn't catch his name, he said he'd look me up here.

Went to Oregon the first weekend of May and got snowed on. Chilly night without a heater by lava flows near Bend.

Unlike the Alu-cab pop top, the Trakka does not have a way to raise the sleeping platform out of the way when it's not in use. You can fold the mattress and slide the plywood pieces forward, but it's not graceful. Then I had a flash of inspiration and with old boat parts came up with a zero...
