- A Brief Intro | Our LANDCRUISER TROOPY Plans & Mods So Far!
Our first video saying a quick hello, and having a chat about our 2023 Toyota Landcruiser Troopcarrier! In this video we take you through what we have done so far, and what is planned for the future.
Enjoy and thanks for watching
Hello from Edmond Oklahoma
I got to spend a month in Fremantle Australia a couple of years ago and fell in love with the troopy. I wish I could have made it to New Zealand while I was there. Just gives me a reason to go back.
Can’t wait to see more posts.
Thank you mate!
The friendship the 2 of you have is so cute and genuine. You're a testiment to When you have a healthy foundation as a couple, it makes the achievement of your goals as a family so much closer! You're both beautiful humans, and I wish the best for your adventures ahead! Have fun! Can't wait to see your next video installment!
This is one of those comments that means a lot. For you to take the time to write such a lovely post is really appreciated :) Thank you
We run our troopy as a 5 seater with 2 kids under the age of 5. Painful with a newborn but doable. She's 2 now and he's 5 and they absolutely love the troopy. So don't let kids scare you off owning the car! It's a phenomenal car to get the family out and away with. Good luck guys and enjoy!
To be honest, that had been our fear! So really appreciate you taking the time to comment and give us some reassurance 😂 Hope you enjoy the channel
@TheTroopyJournal-zl6xv above rear doors toyota can fit the anchor points for child seats. Alot of people install the anchor bars behind the rear seats and I think that takes up way too much room. We went with above the rear door it looks alot cleaner and saves the space in the rear for setups. Just an FYI for when ever you may go down that track hahaha good luck guys keen to see how it all goes!
@@lewishoult635 thanks so much. If you have instagram, would you mind sending a couple of pictures through to our page of your setup? Sounds great
Thank you EVERYONE for all of your views, comments and contributions. Never did we think this would achieve over 10,000 views! Rest assured, there are more videos coming very soon. Our troopy has been in the workshop for the last wee while getting an interior camping fit-out and Headspace Campers roof conversion done. Once it is back with us (next week), we will be straight back into the mountains filming! Thank you again
Can’t get new Troopys in Canada, used ones to import must be at least 15 years old. Some people have brought old ones in from Australia but they are always right hand drive in a left hand drive country. If I was younger I would import a 15 year old Troopy from Europe, I see them for sale online in Germany. They are left hand drive. I did a lot of overlanding in my younger days in Australia, Africa several times and once in India. I’ve watched thousands of hours of RUclipsrs travelling the world and the Troopy is the best vehicle in my opinion. Older Land Rovers work well too, especially in Africa where parts are readily available for the older units as Land Rover didn’t change a lot of things for decades and there are out of service vehicles all over the place to poach parts from. The strength and capability of the Troopy and the endless ways to customize them make them the perfect overlanding vehicle in my opinion. Even if all one does is throw a foamy, sleeping bag and sheet, a stove and a 12 volt fridge and some bins for clothes and food in the back, you could live and travel comfortably for months and/or years with a Troopy.
Thanks James! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great to have found your channel. Have recently bought a Troopy and will be following your journey to learn as much as I can and get inspired. Thanks
Great to hear!
Awesome to follow along a NZ troopy build.
Thanks James! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Look forward to the future videos guys!
Thanks so much! Glad to have you along
Hey Scott.. You didn't used to have a lifted Hilux did you.. Your faces look familiar..!
A couple years ago, soon after my partner bought her Troopie, we were returning to West Coast via Coleridge / Lake Lyndon when we came across a young couple similar to yourselves requiring a tow from a side track.. It had snowed heavily overnight causing clearance issues...
My partners Troopie was very stock at the time and was still on the original factory wheels/tyres... We weren't carrying any recovery gear, but they had a snatch strap.. With front and rear diff locks engaged, we managed to free them from where they were hung up after 4x lunges.
You say you are looking out for a rear bar with spare wheel swing away.. After a lot of trouble getting a bar out of Australia (Cruiser Company) my partner got onto KRAE (Kaiapoi Repowers And Engineering) to adapt an existing design they had.. KRAE fitted it for her and are now listing that bar in their catalogue.
ciao Ian
Not you we recovered .. Kaz says she already talks to you on Troopcarriers of New Zealand.
Awesome guys can’t wait to see the Chanel grow ..
Thank you so much for the comment and the support 😊🙌
Nice to see you and the build! Always like to see ideas. My build hasn’t started yet, use it basically as a bare work van currently. Plan is to turn it into a mobile workshop/ camper/ safer cargo van with load restraints etc.
Sounds great! Be sure to keep us updated on your build.
Nice troopy. You’re very pretty, wow! The girl isn’t bad either
Awesome troopy can't wait to see where you go with your build, great to see more kiwi content coming out. Just please don't forget about security for your troopy there are people out there that think they can just take other peoples property I'd hate to hear that your baby has been taken so please keep security in mind. 👍👍👍
Great advice! Thanks for watching 😊
Loving a kiwi build! Dont stop with the uploads!
Good job keen to see final resault
Thanks! We’ll be sure to update regularly with progress on the build
I am new to your channel and I am also going the Headspace conversion, safe travels
Thanks for watching! Nice to hear you're going with the Headspace option as well. Be sure to let us know how it goes
Great content man. What town bar you will be going for? Cheers
Thanks so much mate! Good question, we initially went with an MCC rear bar with factory towbar, but couldn’t bring ourselves to fit it after hearing a few horror stories… have since ordered a Kaymar with dual swing aways (one side Jerry can holder, the other side spare wheel). The Kaymar has an integrated towbar thankfully
Love your video, keep them coming
Thank you :)
Good luck guys
Thank you!
Nice guys… Does the NZ LTspec come with diff locks? If so, that would be the perfect spec troopy I reckon. Will just need to solve some rear seats for the future kids!
Sure does mate! So yep, agreed, the best spec.
Nice videos. Any more to come?
Thank heaps mate. YES! Absolutely. The Troop has been in getting the rear fitout and roof conversion completed; but it should be back with us in about a weeks time. After that we will be out and about all the time, and hopefully filming most of it!
@@TheTroopyJournal looking forward to follow
What a lovely car
Thank you 😊
Wish we had 70 in the states. I have an 80 series, but its not as handsome.
What rear bar do you think youll do?
Good luck if you go for a headspace….
Hey mate, are you able to expand on that at all?
Hello, my name is Alexander. I am from Russia. This car is my dream. I am interested in armrests for LC (like in your video), please tell me where to buy them (web site of the seller). I really enjoy your videos and look them before going to sleep. Please make new ones.
Hey Alexander! Thanks for the comment and glad you’re enjoying the videos. The armrests are from OneStone. Feel free to check out our other videos!

Hey mate, what is the brand for the arm rests? Thanks
Hi there, they are OneStone armrests. We go over them in our previous video :)
Imagine having a whole channel dedicated to an expensive, outdated, slow, uncomfortable garden shed on wheels. Those heaps of sh*t should be $39,990 drive away. But Toyota has conned the sheep into paying $95,000 (!!) for something they designed nearly 40 years ago 😂😂😂 They must be laughing around the boardroom in Osaka.
Simon Barnett, you sound like you’d be fun at parties 🥳 Some great positive feedback from an awesome community so far 😊
They can't afford one that's why they are upset and sooky about this haha. There is a reason the landcruiser has been around for as long as it has and hasn't changed much. 👌. I love my 79 and troopys are awesome tourers
You two are great 👏, better than the troopy.... that's a big statement "A relationship that is stronger than a Toyota" 😂
Very kind of you! Thanks
