Family Fun Bus (HJ47 Troopy)

[bull]

back side view

Still have room underneath.

Seatbelt and seat bolted down with grade 8 goodness

Took the kids for a maiden voyage and they loved it. The seat sits higher than the front and lets them see out which was by design. Let me know if you have any questions. More to come soon..

Nice work

 

[DanS HJ-45]

Let me know if you have any questions.

Yes I have a question: why does it have to be so awesome?!?!

What kind of mileage does el Trooperino get?

Love it. It's fresh to death.

Haha thanks!

Best I have ever gotten was 19.2 mpg

I avgerage 17.7 mpg and that is a mix of city and freeway.



I use the GPS and not the speedo to do the factoring. If you are ever in Seattle stop by and check it out..

Let me know on what I can do to help. That seat was more than I wanted to spend, but it fits perfectly and was to my spec.

How do you fit in the back now Bull? And nice gratuitous 4Runner owner picture!

I can sleep almost anywhere...


Besides I made that seat for all my kids..including my adopted one in Yreka..

 

[Hltoppr]

Thanks Bull! I'm still in the design phase....along with roller drawers, fresh water tank, CO2 bottle placement; sleeping arrangements...etc.

Looks great!

 

[ColoCruiserJeff]

Next time I'll see if I can borrow a 45 to drive down.....since my LV is still upside-down

It's going to be fun watching this troopie grow up!!

Nice work so far!

 

[82cruiser]

Nice fab work Bull! That looks fantastic.

I'll be working on rear seating in the troopy for the kids and plan on installing '78 FJ40 buckets behind the front seats.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

I like being adopted! When do I get to drive the troopie..... Dad?

Now your 4runner can't fit in the back of the troopy.

Can you drive left handed?

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

It'll still fit on the rack! And yes, I drive left handed all the time..... I'm usually shifting with the right hand anyway....

 

[bull]

Anytime you want to come up the troopy is yours to drive..

Danimal imagine how many beagles you could fit in there!!
