I'm selling the Troopy. A member of our family for some time. She has brought us great joy and will be missed. Bought it from mud member (JSaltLick) and was as billed. She's seen parades and crawfish boils etc.. but family is changing and it's time for her to go to a new home.

1982 FJ45 Troop Carrier "Troopy". RHD, dual fuel (propane and gasoline), Original paint (mustard yellow), factory A/C (OEM Nippondenso unit), OME 2.5" lift/shocks (from Bull) w/ greasable anti-inversion shackles. Reverse kit on hangers/springs, two sets of OEM rims ("steelies" w/ Toyo A/T's and lots of tread, and a set of 5 spoke OEM's, now black). The truck comes w/ a custom roll cage from Metal Tech w/ 3 B pillars, cross ties and supports as well as base plates and frame tie in's.... still in the wrapper. New speaker bar from J**P to span across the cage, bucket seats from TPI Off Road as well as OEM front bench. Two rear benches, rear tire carrier, new thermostat, fan, clutch, hoses. 4+ front bumper w/ shackles and new Warn 8274 never....never unspooled once. All glass intact. Optima yellow top. Round Eye headlights, new bib/front grill.


It has a hole in the exhaust/header that needs patching/replacing. The metal is very good in the floor pans, rear quarters, running boards, rockers, rear sil and rear floor and fenders. There was an insulation in the rig when I got it on the fender wells. When this was removed, it appears that the rig has rust spots at some of the seams of the fender wells. I got some wells stamped from PACOL, LLC - PACOL,LLC
Long story short, the stamped wells will also come w/ the truck. They are very nice.

Asking $14,000 for everything. ... or "reasonable offers"

You can pm me here or email me at PScottBx@yahoo.com (please put "Re: Troopy" or something to help w/ the spam that I'm always deleting).

Thanks much for taking the time to look.

Scott

That's the view I was hoping to see! Looks as clean as advertised. VERY NICE.

I'm still in hold pattern myself. Sincere GLWS.

Thanks. Honestly the truck is in great shape minus the fender wells. Someone asked about a "blemish" on the vid I have of the truck and bondo... it has none to my knowledge and I've been all around the rig many times but I'll still go over the rig again for him.

I want to sell her but I want someone to be happy w/ what they get. I live here in mud... and you don't poo in your own bed. (not most anyway ;) )

I still love this rig. Beautiful! Maybe we should talk again after GSMTR if you might still be interested in a swap. Mine has TPI FI now.:grinpimp:

Thanks much and thanks for the consideration. Look me up. Have fun at the GSMTR. A few of our guys will be there from the BSLCA.

Great rig and would have loved to see it with the vision you had for it with full metaltech cage sitting on some 33's or 35's :) hope it finds a good home :cheers:
 
...Always been one of my favorite lc's on mud! Someone is getting a nice truck.

Clean solid troopy metal ...... :)
 
I love it. 100% love it.

Would you be confident driving this cross country (to Utah)?

Yeah, gets better mileage than my F250 ;)

Thanks all.
Have a few more emails to respond to but someone asked about the "outter" metal on the rig (not outer skin...just above the tire) There is no rust anywhere on the tuck that has made it's way through the "outer" metal. The only exception to this is the "rolled up" cancer in the fender wells. No skin affected.

Hope that helps
Thanks again.

Wow. I can't believe that took so long. I hadn't been on Mud for awhile, never dreamed you were still trying to sell. Congrats.

Is the buyer a Mudder?
