I 2nd the more pictures and some details please. this looks finger lick'en good.

Sorry Andy.... I haven't taken many photos to share as I have been way too busy to spend much time with it but here is one of the sleeping platform on top. When I get away from work for a bit, I will take it out and get a lot more photos then.

And a side shot from the bottom....

Been ‘sowing’ with the welder the sheet metal to the galley. Missing the last sheet to cover the fridge. The rest is all 2mm aluminum doors or drawers.
Been driving the troopy and it is sooo much fun to drive. It feels better them my 80 with the Terrain Tamer suspension. 400 miles on it since the build. It sounds very ‘manly’ with the FT and the H152 is great. In 5th gear at 70mph I’m at 2000 rpm.

Found the motivation to do some cleaning; Washed Wombat the Daihatsu Scat on Sunday, and then the BJ70 today (Long weekend).

I'd got a compressor the other day, so used that to blow all the dust out of the dashboard ducts, as the dashboard is all in pieces and get everything cleaned up properly.

Emptied almost all the back out, and made it so there is some organisation (i.e. the bits I need next are in a box) so that the 13BT can be moved from the trailer into the BJ70 - once I fit the water pump, flywheel and clutch...

Then pushed it back to it's corner where it will await further activity; now that the evenings are getting lighter here (clocks change + summer) so I can co-opt a mate who has been left home alone to help with bits and pieces.

Aim is to have it running for February 2026...

No photos, because crap...

Heading into fall here in Idaho. I went up to the ski hill yesterday to do some maintenance i.e. cut down brush (just like rust, brush never sleeps either) prior to the arrival of snow.

I didn't pay much attention to these garnish trim pieces prior to the campteq install. Trying to decide if I want to sem interior paint them grey and reinstall them back or not. Would require cutting a hole in the fabric if I did so I am not too sure.

This help? Between LH side rear door windows and LH pop-out windows (mines a gullwing now).

Thank you! I probably didn't look hard enough but I was trying to find close up photo of how those are installed through online pics all over. This helps a lot.
