    Airline Rail Semi-circular

    gkanai, I apologize, but what does living in a major metro area have to do with being able to to register a VDJ? I live in Saitama, had my truck imported from Dubai last yet via PUT DEPOT in Sagamihara and had no problem getting it registered. Now if you are referring to how much it cost me...

    Airline Rail Semi-circular

    We tend to head up into the mountains, like the Nikko area and I have to do a lot of down shifting in order to make it up the steep roads here. I’m often in 2nd gear even with that big V8. On regular roads it’s easy going. I don’t drive fast, but traveling anywhere on regular roads it takes...

    I knew they were strict and like I said, if I had clearly known beforehand, I would not have imported my truck. We were planning to stay here quite a bit longer, but circumstances have changed. Are you happy with the stock motor? In all of the reviews that I have seen or read, the engine is...

    Airline Rail Semi-circular

    I completely forgot about Japan 4x4. Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, that 25 year rule is silly to say the least. We're planning to ship it to Mexico and then travel the Americas in the next few years, if everything goes as planned. I've been told that I need to put the truck in my wife's name...

    Then perhaps you should try ordering a Trax Table from QuickPitch. Maybe easier than South Africa. I didn't want to deal with anything that I may have to do any heavy maintenance on since I live in a house that doesn't have a place to park a car. That and the fact that I wanted the V8 diesel...

    Bing173rd, Do you have a Troopy? If so, where did you purchase it from? I purchased the Trax Table from South Africa. You can forget trying to purchasing anything from Australia. I've tried numerous items and they just don't seem to be interested in shipping anything overseas. However, I was...

    Hoser, I'd say your Japanese roommate is pretty much spot on. I've been here for 20 years and I'm ready to leave...but stuck for the time being (job). Tired of the socialism and all that it entails. Bling173rd, I don't understand your question. What does "IT" refer to?

    Airline Rail Semi-circular

    Too late, I already drilled the damn holes for the table. I have a 130 plate. I can remove the table but it is a real pain in the ass to do so. That's why I was thinking of cargo rail, just like in the photo. It has been said that living in Japan is like living in a straight jacket. And I...

    Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if they have any that are semi-circular.

    Airline Rail Semi-circular

    I’ve ran into a potential problem. Living in Japan is never dull. I purchased a QuickPitch Trax Table and absolutely love it. However, I attached it to my Troopy directly and was told that it may not pass inspection next September. I need to be able to remove the table and I think this looks...

    Troopy Side Interior Panels

    Rivnuts! I’d go with 6mm thick or less Baltic Birch or something similar. I used 9mm and it is a little bit thick and heavy. It will also make it easier to attach the door handles.

    TCP Global just emailed me and they can mix the tints for me. Thanks for everyone's comments/suggestions.

    Raptor Liner Tint

    If you are referring to the Tundra Army Green, it’s too green. The photo that I posted doesn’t really due the color justice. There is a YouTube video of the reveal of the Gladiator in Moab, I believe. It really shows the contrast between tan and green in daylight. That’s what I would like to...

    Raptor Liner Tint

    Thanks, but the problem is, I’m in Japan for the time being. I could easily have something re-shipped to me or sent to my mom, but so far all of the shops want to speak to me in person. TCP replied and stated that they could do it, but want me to call. I may end up doing that, but the time...

    Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know that there were other colors available.

    Storage drawers. Slides or no slides?

    I don’t have a build thread. I’m waiting on the Teflon material. I have no idea how much it weighs now, but I added gullwings to both rear windows with floor to ceiling boxes at 9mm wrapped in boat carpet. The center boxes don’t weigh more 75lbs. total. I think I was pushing 200lbs. with the...

    I usually order it via Amazon. I’m going to try TCP Global and see if the can mix the tint for me. If they can, I’ll report back.

    Raptor Liner Tint

    I understand that would not be an issue in the US. Unfortunately or fortunately, however you look at it, I currently live in Japan and I don’t think that I have seen a paint shop (dealer) other than a professional spray shop.

    Raptor Liner Tint

    I'm wondering if it is possible to purchase the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Gator Green tint? I really like this color scheme and I think it would look great on my Troopy. If anyone has any ideas, please post your comments.

    Storage drawers. Slides or no slides?

    I will just add; WEIGHT. I have two sets of full extension slides and together they have to be at least 75 lbs. That is a lot of weight that could be used elsewhere. I ended up removing my Baltic Birch 18mm set up. It was so heavy and I have a VDJ-78 which is not under powered. I'm now in the...
