DIY TROOPY BUILD EP. 1 | Water Tank, Flooring & Framework | + Alu Cab Roof Tent Conversion
And so the Troopy build begins!
At the end of last year, we bought a 2023 Toyota Landcruiser Troop Carrier. After a few weeks scooting up and down the east coast of Australia, we returned back to the UK and sent the Troopy off to get some major surgery - an Alu Cab roof top tent conversion.
Dan came home for a couple of weeks in June so was finally able to begin the build.
We are so excited to begin this build and create a new home on wheels in the ultimate Australian touring car. Lessssgo!

    Congrats!!!! One question for you guys!! How would you compared the first day hike with the 2nd one in terms of difficulty ? We are planning to make the first one in a 4x4 to have enough gas to make the fuego hike and the Acatenango summit the next day. Thoughts?

    • @TranquilaTravels
      @TranquilaTravels 2 месяца назад

      Thank you!! Exciting that you are planning to do it! The summit to Acatenango from base camp is steeper but for a much shorter period of time. I would recommend hiking to base camp, as you can then gage your ability to do Fuego and the summit hikes which are much more challenging (it's cold, you have to go at a fastee pace because of the sunset/darkness, you can't turn back without the whole group having to wait for you, etc). For example, our company wouldn't let people who struggled on the base camp hike do the Fuego hike. That said, we didn't do it as Dan has asthma so can't give you a definitive answer. Hope you have a great time, it's awesome.

    Really interesting. Thanks. I would have put sound deadening on the wheel arches for sure. Even though they will be covered. Also, would never have put the wooden floor straight onto the vehicle metal just because there is no give for vibration or movement. The insulation is not only about the heat/cold, but also acts as absorption for vibration of the car. Less chance of rattling when moving, as well as prolonging the life of the build on top (joints, seals etc). Good to see though, how different people do their builds. Look forward to the next video.

    • @TranquilaTravels
      @TranquilaTravels 2 месяца назад

      Ivan from Peak Off-road has been using the new latches since Jan this year. He made a video on his RUclips channel on Jan 1st explaining why they’ve stopped using the old ones. I think you can buy the new latches from him. I’ll leave the website here. Ivan is super useful with any Alu-Cab stuff. I had a great experience going through his shop. www.peakoffroad.com.au

      Hey! The damage in Marrakech was very limited in comparison to the Atlas Mountains region, which was badly hit.
