The new guy and gal. We did it. We bought a troopy (1 Viewer)

We are J and K and we are “The Franks Worldwide. “

We are not some reality tv show. No, thats easy. We are two folks who decided to take up overlanding. First step: buy a troopy.

Now what do we do with our 1985 LHD MTM 3F Petrol FJ75 from Oman? Beats us! We learn as we go. Anything less wouldn’t be an adventure.

Seriously, we are interested in exploring in our Troopy. We will be building and semi-restoring for a while and then hope to go out and meet new friends and share a campfire or two.

We hope to learn from the forums. ((We have been snooping around and like what we see so far.) Hopefully we can get some leads and pick some brains for a 3F engine rebuild and some interior parts. The list is long and will be getting longer.

Happy Holiday.

All the best,
J & K

I realize this has been tried before but with the increasing number of 70 Series in the U.S., I thought I would give it another shot. If you live in the U.S. ( nothing personal Canada ) and own a 70 Series can you post the type and state in which you reside. Feel free to post a photo. Hopefully...

Welcome! Looks like it will be a pretty blank slate for you to give a lot of love to.

Lots of adventure ahead, you are in a great spot for learning from the best. Plenty of really cool Troopy builds here to learn from!

Welcome to the forums! Now that the easy part is done (getting a LC), you can get down to real business and spend untold amounts of cash restoring and customizing it to your likes!! lol

Adventure indeed!!

yes.... the secret to landcruisers is to forget that money is money and pretend its just fun tokens
enjoy the build

Will be eagerly following along! I just picked up a 1991 FJ75 from Kuwait originally, with the 3F and have TONS to learn
