MAJOR upgrades on the Troopy! How Much did it Cost?!

[@michaelbradley3907]

The piece of mind is worth whatever the cost in my opinion! Can’t wait to see your next adventure!

[@BenStinnett]

I totally agree! Got a few good ones coming up in the next few months 🤙

[@johnwebb2232]

First off all, it's good to hear from you again, second off all, happy belated birthday boy do I wish I was thirty-three again 😂 at sixty-two, age is slowly sneaking up to me, but I still love getting out with the 4runner and dressing her up. And third, does'nt the troopy look pretty under there. I'm so happy for you in getting the troopy back in shape and on the road again. Can't wait to see the mods on the inside. Take care and be safe.

[@BenStinnett]

Thank you so much John! Hope you’re planning some fall trips for the 4Runner! I’m excited to be back to designing the interior. There are some big changes coming!

[@jeffgodsy9155]

Congratulations man, glad to see you got the Troopy to where you want it to be. Looking forward to future videos..

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much Jeff! I’m really excited, the next couple of months are going to be full of building and shakedown trips!

[@nasseral-momen1463]

troopy do cost a lot of money but done correctly u can keep the vehicle for a lifetime and its the experiences and memories that will make it priceless.

[@BenStinnett]

Yeah that’s my goal man. I think it’ll all be worth it.

[@mongo1243]

Congrats. I'm glad you have a mechanically solid rig now.

[@BenStinnett]

I appreciate it! Feels so good 🙏

[@PabbyRibbons]

The Land Kruiser 70 is a beautiful car created by engineers, who will take you anywhere and bring back, this car who is a car that can be trusted on 100%!!!

[@BenStinnett]

You’ve got that right 👍 put the work in and it’ll pay off 🙌

[@leomalave3190]

Dude !!! Soooo sorry been so busy, forgive me !! Looks like you’re still enjoying your life, I’m so happy for you. Truck look Good!!!!

[@BenStinnett]

Leo! Hope you’re well brother! Thanks so much man 🙌

[@saginawdan]

I can't drive my truck anywhere without anxiety. I'm always listening to every sound and checking my guages way too many times. The funny thing is it's been an extremely dependable vehicle. It's just my nature, I guess. If you have reached a zone where your anxieties have been set aside, your money has been very well spent. I'm looking forward to seeing your interior work. Happy birthday, Ben! - Dan 🌲

[@BenStinnett]

Haha I think I’m similar, it’s still hard to fully relax but it feels like a huge weight has been lifted! Thanks so much Dan 🙏

[@zenmachine50]

yea I am looking forward to the interior work too

[@LuaiADV]

Look at the Troopy 😍now like new. Enjoy it

[@BenStinnett]

At this point it feels like the only part with high mileage is the frame 😂 thank you!

[@chadwickestey]

Such a great update and I'm sure it will add to your peace of mind while on the road!

[@BenStinnett]

Oh most definitely! Thank you so much Chadwick 🙌

[@sanjuan4942]

Dam man- hope you can head south soon!!

[@BenStinnett]

It’s definitely gonna happen! Couple big shakedown trips throughout the fall and then we’re off!

[@4byfamilyadventuresau700]

I love tuning into your channel as it is a lot more of a relaxed channel that is always grounded and engaging. As for your transfer pump they are a pretty standard and low cost part if you look for an overseas option. Alternatively the long ranger fuel tank has a drain plug at the rear for cleaning/fuel recovery and the Toyota 80 series petrol had the option of 2 tanks and uses a transfer pump to move fuel. Depends on your vehicle’s specific setup.

[@BenStinnett]

Really appreciate the kind words, and that’s great insight! Puts me at ease a little bit knowing there are options! Thank you 🙏

[@4byfamilyadventuresau700]

⁠@@BenStinnettall good Keep up the good work 👍

[@amirandazadeh]

great and the bestever choice Ben, well done mate enjoy

[@BenStinnett]

Thanks so much guys! I hope Alaska is treating you well!

[@amirandazadeh]

@@BenStinnett phenomena beauty mate, be in touch bro maybe South America we catch up somewhere mate

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

I bet you're in for just under $20k. Maybe currently at a solid $18k with a few extras still to be done with weight mods. I stopped the video. Now, to see how I did! Happy 33rd and good luck on the prep/trip.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

Woah, I thought maybe I'd be close but not $200 close. That gives me good hope for when I build my rig in a couple of years after caregiver duties have ended.

[@BenStinnett]

Color me impressed! You should go on Price is Right with those skills haha 🙌 thanks so much man.

[@Andrewofarabia]

How come this troopy didn’t come with 2 x 90L tanks as factory?

[@BenStinnett]

Not all variations got the dual tanks from the factory, I'm guessing the original buyer just didn't option it at the time of purchase.

[@Onkelwillys]

What tires and size ?

[@BenStinnett]

These are the Yokohama Geolanders in 255/85/r16 wrapped around my favorite wheels, the Nomad Convoys!
