Builds Oman -> SoCal 1995 FZJ75 Troopy (1 Viewer)

[prwillard2]

Picked up the troopy today.

Sniper has increased the throttle response significantly. The system is still in "learning mode" so will see how it does. Need to find somewhere to mount the sniper touch screen monitor.

Sliders look great and I also had them add a small panel on my rear swing out to hold my propane tank and eventually something else.

Can you give a parts list on the Sniper install?

I got the full kit from Mosley Motors. I'll see if I can't find the full list of items in that kit.

Biggest things are fuel filter, pump, adaptor plate from the sniper to the 1FZ-F

 

[prwillard2]

I forgot the best part of the sniper install.

Now my power bastard 1FZ alternator is no longer putting out too much voltage and the air filter, battery light, and parking brake light actually turn off .

Also tested the aux tank - fills great. Quarter tank to full in about 45 minutes.

It's the adapter I was most interested in. No one lists a kit for the 1FZ-F, including Mosley. I'll shoot them an email.

Thanks!

Did they update the screen? That was one part I didn't like about the Sniper Kit that I installed on my old 40. I think you can now buy a 5" touchscreen with capacitive touch screen instead of resistive.

No just a little 2x3 touch screen. I have a head unit with apple carplay. I think I'll just mount it on the dash via a ram mount.

Also, anyone else with an LRA aux tank? They told me this connection doesn't need to be covered and is "fine without a covering".

Subfloor installed. Interior fitment starts next week!

One 4x8 sheet of Birch plywood?

Two sheets actually. Width of the troopy is like 51 inches so a 4x8 won't fill it.

All that subfloor cutting, trimming, sanding and you still had time for a free weight workout!? Oorah

Did you glue, dado, or biscuit the two pieces together?

Nope. Just butted them against each other. The seam won't be exposed as I will put flooring down the aisle.

5x10 sheet plywood can be found at specialty shops, ones that mostly cater to boat builders and cabinet makers. They are pricey and may not be worth the expense for a "floor", but if you wanted a continuous panel it's out there.

And result can be really nice

But it has to be noted that it's a total PITA to manipulate that big of a plywood sheet and you always need to be 2 to move it or install it.

Great news. The two most important parts of my build out, the toilet and fridge, both fit in my modified 8020 setup.

 

[Owyhee Jackass]

Nice. But that LaCrotch...?

Are you going to secure the 8020 to the floor or wall once you've got it all sorted, or just rely on gravity to keep it in place?

What's the volume of the fridge? Looks big.

Composting toilet by trelino. Mainly to have it and not need it.

I'll secure the 8020 to the side panels and the floor.

Fridge is an Indel B, 86 liters. Has the danfoss compressor everyone raves about. OFF Indel B CR86 Cruise 3.03 Cu.Ft Refrigerator - https://www.heatso.com/86-liter-off-indel-b-cruise-refrigerator-freezer-cr86/

Also, where are people tapping into for their backup camera?

What wire are people using for the reverse signal?
