Moving Cruisers around, had the Troopy out in the sunshine.

That was the most difficult awning I have ever installed! It is a real nice 270* awning but fitting the brackets (also made by Alu-Cab) was really difficult. Advice to anyone fitting this awning, do it before the top goes on the Troopy!

Rear bumper is a Gobi, we are modifying it to work with 75 body and 80-series chassis.

Rear bumper is out for fresh powder coat, front bumper on for one last finalize before it gets coated as well.

Subtank mods all done too. Just need to do a final coat on it and ready to plumb.

What's going on with the old hitch.....?

Disregard - just noticed it was chopped up.

Fuel tank in the works.

Fuel tank farther along.

The black crusty piece is the original Troopy main tank. The bottom was beat badly (dents) and it wasn’t going to fit without cutting it up. I saved the top half years ago when I knew we had to fab the tank. For contours of the floor, flanges and so forth. Soon we will be tossing it!

All parts used in the build of the custom fuel tank are OEM parts.
