  1. Looks great and the mods are sensible and reliable, should have this for many years of fun touring and just doing stuff. Love the front bar, looks light but strong, hopefully you will never need it. Enjoy and keep the updates coming

  2. Hi Guys. The troopy build looks amazing and will have most average punters wishing they could afford to do a build like yours. Are you planning to share the full retail cost of the build and also advise us, your followers, which products fitted to the troopy were supplied at no cost or at a discount. This current video to me from start to finish is just a big advertorial for the products you’ve fitted to the troopy. Wish I could do a build like yours. Cheers & best wishes Andrew

  3. Absolutely love the look of your Troopy. Decals are awesome, nice choice. I look forward to the fitout design and your future adventures with this amazing looking machine.

  4. Looks good, will need to unlock a few more horses from V8 to get the best out of it. A tip for your rear bag is we cut the top of a plastic jerry and fit it in there, it keeps it clean and easy to lift out to empty. Not sure how big yours is but something to fit in there is the go.

  5. It's coming along nicely. It's a shame you're no longer getting the roof conversion done by Project Overlander, as I was looking forward to what that looked like. At the moment, out of the ones commercially available, I like the Alu-Innovations the best. I like how the profile of the roof when closed, slopes slightly down at the front (following loosely the original roof profile).

  6. I've never heard of Headspace Campers before. But I've just checked their website and the product does look good. Though not much information and/or photos of the interior of RT conversion. I can't even see a single photo of the bed raised from the inside. They need more videos on the product, and how it works. Is it just like the Hercules or Kronos on how the bed operates? You guys should offer them your services on how they can improve their website and the marketing of their product.
