I spoke to Cassiem of ALu-Innovations Cape Town
He says he has supplied a few to the USA where he ships them to and thru your appointed shipping agent/company and then the POP UP roofs have been installed by a body shop.
He suggested you contact him directly and he will provide you with detailed information

First addition to the troopy; Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 255/85r16s. Pizza cutters for short.
Driven on them for 2000kms now:
- Noise has increased but not drastically.
- Fuel consumption has increased from 11.8L/100 to about 12.5 on tarmac.
- Epic look and stance. I'm glad I chose these over 285s. Suits the car width and fills the wheel well perfectly.
- Sunraysias with zero offset, they stick out by a mm or two.
Slow progress but it's nice to tick the first box.
I also visited Expedition Centre and have booked in a Mulgo roof conversion for August!

Nice. I think you'll like it. Here's mine on the same size tires with my mulgo top.

Beautiful truck. Thanks for posting!

Jokes, we got an epic wrap done and now our “22 looks like a “95 NSW rural fire service vehicle! Well…almost. It will after the white roof conversion and bar work to comeView attachment 3354229
Just the snorkel to report, I was wondering? Nice color change! It came out good with the wrap, and that rural fire service color is so unique.
Here's my 86 ex-fire service troopy from Denmark
That's going to look awesome with a white top, and have that ageless landcruiser look.Jokes, we got an epic wrap done and now our “22 looks like a “95 NSW rural fire service vehicle! Well…almost. It will after the white roof conversion and bar work to come

It is unique, not quite red or orange. I love it. I’d love to see yours up close!

Haha super red. That’s epic though. It came from Denmark originally??
It's sooo red, but another unique toyota red (3F4 color code ) In the right light it has some "orange" tones, but nothing like yours. Yes, came from Denmark originally, fire service utility truck, and found it's way to the US via Texas, then Oklahoma and then... North Carolina, where rust never sleeps (thanks Neil). Wood rusts where I live- terrible place to have a land cruiser. It's very funny that this is an unusual troopy color and there are at least 3 in North Carolina. Most of the 75 series troop carriers in the US are your standard white or tan (sandy taupe). I guess the east coast attracts the color they will all end up... rust red.
Can't wait to see photos of yours with Mulgo top installed.

Sounds salty and damp
That’s awesome though. I know there are probably many here in Aus as they imported them here with a custom 000 paint code…not sure how many they made for the RFS, but I haven’t seen one myself in person.
On the topic of Mulgo tops…I’m tossing between a white roof conversion or a sandy roof conversion that we wrap white (however apparently wrapping them can be a challenge due to irremovable seals etc). Anyone have an opinion?
White (and black) conversions seem to go with just about anything. I think I would go with a white top and avoid the wrap; wrapping the entire top seems like it would be very difficult to do. You could always wrap it later if wanted or needed. Why are you thinking sandy conversion and wrap? Is that colour available sooner?

Just incase I want to take the wrap off down the line and then the conversion would be colour matched. I think you’re right though!
See, I already forgot you have sandy truck. Makes sense though.
I would still go with the white top. Even if you decide to take the red wrap off and go back to the sandy color, the white top will still retain the classic Land Cruiser look with the sandy colored body.Sounds salty and damp
