Paul and team hit the ball out of the park with this build. Extremely impressed with the troopy's colour plus the plug and play setup of the whole build. Simplicity at its finest.

I can confirm that the design and build of Manjaro’s interior is second to none. It’s very well thought out and well built. Have done 7500km on corrugated roads since the install. Love it. Well worth the investment.

I'm an old bloke who has spent much of his working life banging around northern Australia in Toyotas. This build is fantastic. Congratulations to the builders, absolute legends. The thing that most people miss is keepng it simple and being able to pull your kit in and out. Not just for repairs but also for multitasking your Troopie whether it be piling in people or stuff for house renovations. I am full of Toyota love once again!

THAT COLOR COMBINATION IS PROBABLY THE BEST FOR A TROOPY! YES, IN DEED THE BEST TROOPY YOU'VE EVER BUILT.. THEY WAY IT PULLS WHEN ACCELERATING.. ENGINE SOUND, INTERIOR, EXTERIOR... THAT IS FIRST CLASS! PAUL AND SIMON (IF I REMEMBER HIM CORRECTLY) DID A FANTASTIC JOB!

The prank was excellent, to funny. But the thing stealing the show is the modular removable setup! That’s excellent. I love that it doesn’t restrict the use of the vehicle for other purposes. It can be a camper 4 weeks a year but can be a van for the rest. That’s brilliant.

Paul & team did an amazing job and came up with fantastic solutions like the modular interior, crafted with great skill and experience. However, I find building up a car yourself is part of the fun and ensures every detail is based on your own decisions and skill level. This means you go through a learning cycle of constantly improving what does not work good enough en appreciate the things which work good enough. This is part of the essence of overlanding for me. I am looking forward to the adventures you will undertake in Africa. Much appreciated !

Paul; You have done a great job managing this project, everything from the colour choice of the troopy to the modular install has been beautifully done. Nice clean lines throughout, it doesn't look cluttered which is great. Andrew; You are one lucky man to have such a team at your disposal for the build. I can see you are really happy with it so far. Your builds just keep on getting better, this one being the best by far. It will be interesting to see how you kit it out.

Great work Andrew, Paul and Team. Plug and play, modular, removable kit is the ultimate build. It appears all that has been done to all the troopies and trucks over the years has come together and perfected through this build as far as kitting the rear of the vehicle is concerned. I have my foolish thoughts / wish list on other aspects of building the ultimate overland vehicle but that is for another day.

Finally, an understanding that today ‘assets’ i.e. vehicles are dammed expensive. One simply can’t afford to have lots of vehicles, used for multiple purposes, sat on the drive. Here is the solution. A modular fit so that one changes the interior to fit the need. A camping car. A kid carrier, A rubbish hauler...changed on the inside, instead of changing the vehicle.

Exactly how I use my 1hz troopy. For long family trips, I have 3 reclining captain's chairs for the kids that easily bolt off. With the chairs out I've carried tile and interior doors for a remodel recently, and off course its my camping vehicle for remote travel in Kenya. Can't beat the versatility.
