    My current VDJ78 is 5 years old and do mostly desert trips. Most of the proposed mods are unnecessary. The standard skinnys are awesome and are the reason why the fuel consumption is so good on trips like the Canning. Last time I used 138L between Kunawarritji and Wiluna and 108L between Kunawarritji and Bililuna. I also keep mine very light so it stays capable. Partial track correction is easy by simply using the zero offset 105 series 16x6.5 steel tubeless rims on the rear. Flares and muddies are just for looks. Parabolic springs saved me 46 kgs. Factory shocks are actually better than the first aftermarket shocks I used. My best mods are the stereo (adds Google mapping to supplement Oziexplorer and Hema and you can talk to the thing). Standard seats were upgraded in 2017 and I like them. Keep the rear fitout light weight.

    As somebody who has owned a couple landcruisers: I would skip the side steps and invest in a proper rear wheel carrier, over time the area on which the bracket is attached to gets damaged and the door starts to sag, all exaggerated when you put bigger wheel on, which I assume you’re going to do here.
    A set of proper shocks is my other suggestion. Skip the accessories that are attached to side of car.

    I am very interested in this project, as I too transitioned from a modified Prado to a Troopy.
    Every time I did a modification inside the Prado the available space reduced significantly.
    At the finish, I realised that I was working on the wrong vehicle platform and swapped to the Troopy.
    I heard Ronny’s comments about the narrrow track on the rear axle, but did not appreciate this fully until I spent four days on K’Gari (Fraser Island) and experienced the rear axle wandering, which was uncomfortable and very concerning indeed - honestly, think I will be looking at a rear axle conversion to address this, it was that bad.
    I have my higher cabinets, fridge and table on the left (port) side of the vehicle and the awning is this side too - this just works so well. I also have a rear door table for quick coffees and sorting out gear.
    I did fork out for upgraded seats, but went for Stratos, which were cheaper and included adjustable spring suspension.
    One thing I have done, which works well is to be able to access all sorts of items from the back doors. Molle panels from Mission 4x4 and matching pouches, plus Velcro’s pouches from Aussie Outback Supplies have made this possible and very efficient.
    I look forward to seeing how this build progresses and can’t wait until Harry Fisher gets a Troopy too!
    Okay, that’s a bit of a stir, but isn’t that what makes RUclips fun?

      You’re not paying for the features inside the car though, you’re paying for the solid chunks of metal under the car that don’t give up at the first sight of a rough road. I agree it’s still overpriced, but no one else makes anything close either - if there was money to be made then someone else would have jumped in and taken the market already.

      Understand but you are missing the point. If what you want is solid axles, easy ability to run bigger tyres, a bulk load of aftermarket bits and a practical interior, what else would you buy? What else has solid axles? They charge what they do, because they can. If you don't care about all the modern electronic dodads then these don't really have competition in the marketplace.

      But looking at it from the side of people who go where most vehicles can‘t go they’re worth the money because you get and excellent offroader that‘s reliable, easy to repair yourself and just a great companion on your adventures.

    Buds Customs do a lower cost alternative for track correction. +30 each side I think which is very acceptable, and minimal poke with 255 will keep all wheels same offset.

    I would also go mud terrains. The reasons I personally don't because I live in Canada and I don't want to have a dedicated set of winter tires and have to swap them every season. I also don't off road frequently like you do. All terrains are load rated, better on pavement but still functional off road AND they can be winter rated. But if I live somewhere warmer and seen more dirt, I'd go muddies.

    If you haven't bought your rims yet, think about this: Check out King Wheels rims, in the alloy Hurricane II pattern. They are rated to 1600Kg, which is 100Kg more than ROH.
    In 5/150 PCD they come in a neg 5 offset, and neg 25 (they also do a neg 50). But with a neg 25 on the rear you fix a lot of the offset issue and you are LEGAL. If you fit neg 50s you will be ILLEGAL. Also, the extra force/wear on bearings that you get with neg 50 is halved.

      For all the nuf nufs out there who want to fit cupboards, draws, uprighfridges... ie all the accessories, all thr fruit... you are be over sold by the industry, and car will turn in to a heavy overweight pig to drive, with high fuel consumption, that is difficult to recover.
      If you have a wagon, Q: can you sleep in the back if you need to ? If not, why not ?. It is a wagon, and you should be able to sleep in it if needed.
      Do not fit a RTT or any other heavy thing on the roof.
      A lightweight steel roo bar is fine, even alloy. If you hit livestock or a camel ot a horse, these heavy bars will not save your car.
      Hand winch is ok... but we were driving by our selves and were bogged once a month... and had to dig out with a shovel many times. Doable, but slow. A lightweight electric winch might be the go, and I have used portable rechargeable riggers winches that work - there are now being used everywhere in rigging and the SES train using them for lifting patients back up cliff faces. Do not fit heavy suff to the front of your car.
      2nd battery under the bonnet ? Why ? I have 2 rechargeable jumpstart packs that work perfectly. Why would I go and stick another 40kg under the bonnet ? Nuts. Build lightness.
      We have gone all electric now and thus do not carry a gas bottle inside the car like most people do. All electric is simple and works perfectly. Total weight of the all electric is less then half the weight of the seats we removed.
      And... why are people fitting permanent awnings to their cars ? Most of them are tiny, and they do not keep the storm of your swag anyhow. Figure out how to easily rig up a 4x5m tap.
      The Troopy is an awesome spacious wagon, that is a perfect size for bush travelling.

      But people like to buy shit they don’t need, with money they don’t have, to impress people they don’t like. So their 4x4s end up looking like wanking chariots without any sign of actual off road use. My neighbour has a newish Hilux without a scratch on it and he drives it in a suit. I guess he thinks he is portraying the virile young man but is actually close to 60.

Why are people carrying giant rtt or swags when they have a metal shelter in back of landcruiser? Because they fill it with useless crap, including the swag. I use a hiking sleeping mat and feather bag and have an emergency hiking tent and tarp. Water is the heaviest thing I carry in the car.

    I love the Troopy. At $40,000 AUD it would be a great truck, but still overpriced. At it's current price point, I would rather buy a Prado, and live with scratching it. The fact that the Troopy at this price doesn't come standard with a full-time 4wd system is ridiculous. The fact the the axels are still out of square is a joke. As much as I love the look and the practicality of them, I would definitely chose the new Prado and deal with the scratches. And if I wanted to save money, just buy an older 100 series.
    And if you are only over-landing, I think you are better off with an IFS front end rather than solid axels.

    Why not use spacers on the rear axle if the vehicle is kept light and basically stock it won't wear out the bearings any faster?

  • @petermills1402
    @petermills1402 19 дней назад +2

    Get the seats resculpted by a decent upholsterer, I did with an SR5 Hilux. Extended squab to fit under knees better, added air adjustable lumbar support and the SR5 seats are now much better.
    Those +50 rims are a bad bbbbbbbbbbad idea, wheel bearings will let you down just when you dont want, especially fully loaded. Maybe renew bearings every 50k and probably ok. But then again the diff housings will also possibly break, they 'do' break and the +50 rims will add so much more load.

    Troopy myself, V8. Whack a set of KONI HEAVY TRACK (or Raid) shocks on. They are good. Just got back from the south half of the CSR and the corrugations tested them out and they passed. 245 - 75 Coopers AT, -25 offset because of the Toyota dickhead thing , Rear flares because dick heads. I sleep in a bunk, driver side. Engle 39L dule zone behind passenger seat, access from passenger side. Run Expedition 134 tubs under bunk for gear x 3. Water tank, 55lt under rear. 270 awning passenger and shower tent on driver side. Works great and goes anywhere light as a feather. Also got a tune... 13-14ltr/100km. It'll be great to see how he sets his one up! They are all personal.

      There's a couple on YT who spent $41,000 for a fully built Defender 110 with Alu-cab because they did everything themselves.

      @nordic5490 18 дней назад

      He lives in WA with mostly sandy flat terrain. A rear bar would see very little (if any) use. A and winch is optional, but much faster than digging or a handwinch. If you are not towing a trailer, a winch will be used rarely. I have used portable rechargeable rigging winches - as used by the SES for to recover fallen persons back up cliff faces.
      Build lightness. Adding winch, heavy steel roo bar, 2nd battery under the bonnet, etc, is very foolish in 2024. Build lighness.

    Definitely disappointing when self called 4wd build experts recommend illegal offset rear wheels to fix a track issue. With a vehicle that’ll be worth $150k+, while it might never be an issue, you’re still opening the door for insurance to refuse (or make it difficult) to payout a future claim. Just having a Quick Look around and they’re cheaper, LEGAL options from Tru Tracker, Buds Customs, Superior, Jmacx and Dwiz, some for well under $10k plus some of them also fix other suspension hanger issues. Also making it easier to rotate your $600+ tyres. Also amusing when you’ll argue you have to stick to your $50k budget but you’ll also do the ring around and demand companies give you free things for the build if they want a mention to advertise their products during this build, like you did in Project Prado (and probably other builds.
