No, not the owner
Met them in Boulder when they first got the truck. Nice couple and total newbies when they first got it. I helped them with some spare parts.
Nice truck too.

Can't help but wonder how it got past customs in the first place.
its got roundies like a 75, but coils.... i wonder if its a 78 on a 80 chassis
they explain it in the video
At my advanced age neither my hearing or vision is what it used to be so I guess I need to watch the video again.they explain it in the video
I think they transferred the body onto an older chassis. The troopie chassis' are all much the same until the V8 model years. The H151 gearbox would allow the gearbox crossmember to clear the panhard rods
I spoke briefly with these folks at the NW Overland Rally last year. Looked at the truck and I think they must have been a bit exhausted from all of the people stopping by to look.
There are at least two left hand drive troopies in the States that have a 1HDT and the H151 gearbox. Nice combo for sure.
