Troopy round 0z

[Jackbad]

G'day folks,
My names jack and this is me troopy,
I've been gettin abit of info off this site and thought it was time to share.
This is my 83 hj47 troopy, it's got
Standard 2h
4 spd with Fairy overdrive
180L aux tank
Dual battery system
And all the little add ons

I've fixed all the rust myself and painted it and also built the chassis mounted roof rack.

I have built this troopy for a trip around the great oz, and I'm currently 3 months into a 7 month trip, so if ya in oz and ya see the troopy give us a yell!

Cheers guys!

Welcome to the forum! It's nice to see another Troopy represented on MUD!
I'm jealous of your 7 month trip, do you have a blog or facebook page where you're documenting your travels?

P.S. I would like to see some interior pics of your rig as well since I'm currently working on my expedition configuration and need all the inspiration I can get.

Hey mate, nah were abit lazy with the blog things, too busy fishin and swimming in waterfalls! the mrs keeps a diary but that's about it.
I don't have any prog shots on when I built the inside as they where on me old phone which I threw down a cliff, not on purpose.
But when we clean tidy up the back a bit ill take a few snaps.
I just built a false floor with a big draw and a few lids and a spot for the fridge,
But I'll put some picks up soon!

Yeah the overdrive ain't bad, it's good going up hills I just split 3rd and it glides up,
Also if ya late for something it sit on 110 at just over 2 grand as long as you down have any head wind I might save abit a diesel too!
