troopy

Hey, I'm a new user (first post, go easy on me), and new to the Land Cruiser world. I recently purchased a 2002 HZJ78 Troopy camper (pictured below) from a Swiss couple who were original owners, had the camper built and took the thing around the world (Australia, Africa, and bottom of South...

Hi IH8MUD, New guy here down in SoCal. Just got myself a LHD FZJ75 Troopy from Turkey. It's got about 80,000mi on it, FR and RR factory lockers, and runs super smooth, looks great, and has minimal rust. I've had and driven 100 and 200 series LC's before, and this is my first personally owned 70...

I have just bought a ‘93 75 series 1HZ Troopcarrier. And I was in the process of flushing the brake fluid when my eyes shifted focus to this. Just need to know now, if this is a deal breaker for this vehicle, and I should cut my loses or what. I already have an appoint to get some rust cut out...

Here's almost everything you need to convert a narrow into a wide. A few modifications to your inner fenders and radiator support, and you'll be off the races. These parts are new take-offs from a white 2018 HZJ79 and they're in great shape. The clip kit contains: • Snorkel upper and lower...

After building and enjoying my first Troopy for the past two years, it was time to start another. I loved the ol 12HT/pop-top truck right down to the rusty fading paint but all at once I had about 4 people want to buy it so I decided to sell and start another. Coincidentally Lukas...

Looking for the forward-facing fold down rear bench seat, and the seat belts (including shoulder belts), for a HZJ75 Troopy. I'm located in Central Oregon. Hoping someone has it sitting in their garage state side. Thanks, Kons

After purchase from Steve in Boulder, I've been messing around a bit to get a feel for the thing. I'm not mechanical, so any mechanic work will be completed by Robbie "powderpig" in Boulder. First thing was transfer case rebuild, tie rods, and water pump. Then replaced all hoses in engine. Oh...

As one part of the rehab of my '87 Troopy, I'll be replacing the tired oem suspension. I don't want anything too complex. What have you used and what are the pros of the kit you used?

I'm starting the build of my Troopy and since I'm in Belgium, one of the first things we need is a decent air heater in the back of the Troopy. I have an Eberspächer D2 (similar to Webasto Airtop). The D2 will be mounted in the left rear, near the backdoor, where the factory jack sits...

So, I'm searching worldwide for the right 1HZ Troopy (or possibly a cab and chassis that I can build a camper for) to import into Canada. It must be 15 years old to import into Canada, so currently that would mean a manufacture date of 01/04. I would prefer it already had a pop-up roof because...

Now sold. Asking $350 local pick up in Twin Cities, MN. Feb 2 update: I've cut off the side rails and weighed the pieces. Rear beam with the tire carrier is 97lb, and the basket side alone is 57lb (plus a few more if you want bolts/nuts/shackle). Greyhound is $157 for two pieces totaling...

Hi all, Can anyone talk to importing an HZJ78 into Canada from Europe? I can't find a single one in Canada online (for sale or otherwise). I'm currently on the hunt for the right one. I'm targeting Europe because I would rather have a LHD. I know it has to be 15 years old. Anyone have...

Hello, I finally have a line on some OEM troopy seat frames. Does anyone have the measurements for the plywood seat bottoms, as well as the plywood for the long backrests? (see pic). I could estimate, but if someone knows... Thanks!

Hi all, transplanting in an H55F into my HJ47 and just have a few questions for the group as I progress. 1) After removing the transmission and bell housing, I noticed my rear main seal was actually in what appeared to be pretty good shape, despite the fact that I have been leaking oil from the...

Hey fellow mudders, I bought an import from AUSTOUSA about three years ago. I have all the correct paperwork which they gave me. I never registered the vehicle because I was fixing it up. Now some friends that I sold it to are trying to get it registered at the Florida DMV but the DMV is being...

Is there anyone who knows about any side window panels and a roof for sale? Im restoring a Troopy and the panels are toast. Sadly so is the rest of the body but im buying an aluminum tub and ive already got new fenders, bib, aprons, and doors.

I have been reading up on fitting a five speed gearbox into the BJ45 Troopy for a while but think I have confused myself. It seems to be straight forward in the late vehicles, 1984 or so but the earlier ones I have seen from around 1982 still have the gearbox parking brake and I recall reading...
