troopy

So I have never owned a Land Cruiser before, driven a few in the distant past and I now have the time and space to own one. I've been looking around for a while at various 70s but have always deep down wanted to own a 40 series (or a 70 too). Now is my chance! This rather Aussie looking beast...

As the title says, I'm trying to nail down what countries around the world these Troopies were originally manufactured and originally sold. Anyone know of lists and sites identifying this? Also interested in the same info for 75 and 78 Troopies. Thanks.

We're starting the Troopy build and one of the must-haves is a Webasto/Eberspacher heater in the back of the truck. I found a good spot to mount it (near the left hand rear door) so we can get good air supply (the stock rear air vent). However, I'm struggling to find a good way to deal with the...

I'd love to have an rpm gauge (tacho ?) and an oil pressure gauge. Anyone any idea on how to install those, if at all possible ? Kind regards, Chris

My 2015 Tacoma recently burned up, so I've decided to use the insurance money to buy and build out (camperize) a manual trans, diesel 78 series Troopy or Dbl. Cab 79 series. I'm on the left coast of Canada, but will look at a truck from any location. Would prefer something in the 2002 to 2004...

Hi all, new to the land cruiser club, old to to the land cruiser gang. I have had my 1984 HJ47 troop carrier for just over 10 years now. For the past 9 years I've serviced myself, and 5 years ago had the engine reconditioned. Just this year I've started taking my old boy to a mechanic as I have...

Hi all, first post - be kind. Trying to find out if the 2003 troopcarrier with 1HZ has a OBD port (or similar). Done a fair bit of searching around unable to find the answer. From what i can tell it doesnt have one, but thought i better ask just in case. There's nothing wrong with the the...

Hi all My non turbo 1hz 2004 manual troopy (125000kms) has flat spot most gears at 2000-2600rpm. I can power through no problems but if i just want to slowly build up speed or even cruise in that range its a pain. not sure if related but the car has a whistling sound almost like its a turbo...

G'Day. I can see that there are a few threads about Troopy conversions, and I thought people might be interested in the one I recently had done. We had operated for a while with a roof top tent and a basic fit out in the back, with a dual battery system, 180w solar panel and regulator, an 80lt...

Hi guys, Continuing on with the restore of my 78 after the hail damage. I've been looking on some online websites selling apparently genuine parts much cheaper than what I can get thru a Toyota dealer. However, when I've disassembled my horizontal sliding windows in the Troopy and laid all the...

Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Unfortunately my 78 Series Troopy got caught in the large hail storm in Brisbane last November. As part of the repair they are going to fix the rest of it up if I pull it apart. While it's mostly apart, I was looking today at how to remove the glass (Sliding...

A lot of you might recognize this truck from when Jonnie posted photos of it a few months ago. He mentioned that he might not keep it, so I jumped at the opportunity when he messaged me and asked if I was interested. My wife and I have had an overlander 80 series for a while now, but I've had my...
