I've never been down that far, but a few connections for you: I only know two mechanics in Baja. Monchi in Punta Banda (near Ensenada) and Alfein in San Felipe. Both build/mod/fix race trucks and are top notch mechanical wizards and could do a transmission swap. I know of a body shop in San...

Meet up this weekend? I'll PM you.

That would be great. Seat belts? I'm down in the central valley, not too far away.

Nice. Does it line up with the troopy mounting points?

Would a rear seat from a '74 fit a '75 troopy? Mine is an RV / 6 seat configuration but I'm missing the forward-facing rear bench & seatbelts.

I don't suppose you happen to have a forward-facing seat? Mine has the RV 6 seat configuration but is missing the rear bench. I don't think I can install these without custom mounts (unless you happen to have the wheel well mount points?). I don't think I'd get seat belts with side jump...

I'm looking for a forward-facing rear seat with rails and seat belts for my hzj75 troopy. It's got the 6 seat RV configuration, but I bought it without the rear seat (had a custom storage shelf/bed built into the back). I can see mounting holes and the VIN plate shows it should have a 6 seat...

It's so shiny. Need to get some mud in there, stat!

Wow. That's sharp. :beer:

I want to make it like this:

Roger that. The radiator was recently re-cored. I'll check on the fan clutch. Not sure if I can get a pyro fitted on this trip but it is on the project list.

Ok, here's my wish list: Trakka or Alu-Cab pop-top (this may be bigger than you have in mind) 270deg awning that wraps around the vehicle to create shade Screens for rear windows A hatch to replace one of the rear sliders (allowing me to lift it up and open it from outside the vehicle to...

She's at Valley Hybrids getting good once-over before our inaugural roadtrip to Baja. It had a pretty bad fuel leak at the IP, so that's getting rebuilt, along with injectors. It's also getting brakes, transmission/transfer case rebuilt, wheel bearings, and a few other things. This is a good...

Roger that. I'm just getting started looking at other people's builds. I've been watching too much 4xoverland lately.

Thanks. Even an external screen would be an improvement. I'll take what I can get. Do you have any recommendations on things I should be looking for that are easier found in Australia? I just bought a 1990 Australian Troopy. I'm still learning the platform. My goal is to build it up for...
