Hi all, As my Troopy build is almost complete I'm now looking into stuff like tool kits, first aid kits, recovery kits, etc ... I'm by no means a mechanic, but still, some tools may come in handy in the odd case something small and easy to fix should break. So, apart from a hammer and some...

Thanks in advance for the pics !

This is the kind of info I'm looking for ! There are a lot of options available, but only very few real life usage reviews. If the fancy one breaks or has defects in the field, and the basic ones don't, then I'm happy to live with (in) a basic one ;) Hi Wout, I know that truck and would love...

Hi Charlie, Thanks for the video ! For how long do you have the pop top roof installed ? Did you have any issues so far ? Kind regards, Chris.

Located 30 km north of Antwerp, between Antwerp and Eindhoven (Netherlands) I'll see if I can dig up some more photos, but I don't have any detailed trip reports so far. Thanks for the warm welcome Chris.

Hi Stan, I'm not able to send PM's, or at least I didn't find the right link. Very interested in the Alu Cab Hercules. Can you send me a mail with some more details ? Why you prefer Alu Cab over the others ? Price, how long you would need my truck to fit it, where you're based (I believe UK...
