Being able to sleep in-vehicle is such a huge benefit for so many reasons And for those that have never had that option, you would never know. Being able to wake up and leave camp at 5am with no packing up Being able to turn the vehicle on and run the heater on freezing mornings Being able to wake up in a down pour of rain and leave without stepping out of the vehicle Being able to drive further at night, because setting up for the night is so easy Only needing the vehicle footprint to camp up Access to fridge and supplies at all times The ability to urban camp when you have too

Hi, there; I have an African Troopy with wich I have visited the six continents (including wonderful Aussie). I have camped it uniquely, with a 20 seconds put on/put off bed for two people (1,80 x 1,40), fridge, two pantries, two horizontal wardrobes, sink/cuby box, hot/cold external shower, DC/AC converter, cooker, static heater, chemical WC, internal lights, two folding tables and a cosy interior. From outside it looks like a stock Troopy, and that's perfect for urban camp (as we had done in Odessa, Ukrainia in 2013, for example, and Italy, and some other places. These cars are perfect for long haul travelling, exploring and whatnot. I just want to thank you and Andrew St Pierre White for his marvellous and truly passionate videos and talks. In this all too fake era of people ignoring what real 4x4 means (and that is soul-expansion, deep nature breathing, not filigree rock wirework -which may be great if you like it, but not my approach to it), your techings are really encouraging. I wish we can meet some day on the road -who knows… All the best, take care, and go ahead !

No doubt the troopy is a better overland/touring vehicle. It has unparalleled space and customisability, and far superior fuel capactiy. I ordered one then changed my mind and bought a 76. I needed a vehicle that I can live with every single day. The troopy is 2.1m tall stock, which is the height of standard garages and carparks in NSW. So once you fit a rack, lift and 33s you can say goodbye to using the troopy to get the groceries. The shorter wheelbase of the 76 also gives it a much better turning circle and makes it reasonable to live with every day in urban areas. I'm looking to to remove remove the rear seat and fit a cargo platform and second spare wheel inside. Water tanks in the rear footwells, 180L long ranger tank and 40L fuel on the rear bar, then suddenly you have vehicle that can go everywhere the troopy can but is easier to live with on a day to day basis.

You hit on a very important point here. Wheel base is key for daily driving. I test drive my mum's old school (and totally mint) 2 door 2nd gen Rav4 every time I fit new tyres, oil changes etc and I absolutely love that little thing. It's shorter than a Mini and the turning circle is absurdly good, you don't have to parallel park it ever, it can just drive in nose first into any parking spot. The inside rear wheel turns on a dime at full lock. If you're buying a 70 for daily driving and don't need a tray, the 76 is a no-brainer. Troopys are for commercial use in mines etc or for heavily modifying for serious over-landing. Anything else it's a 76 hands down.

Very good review Andrew. I have owned the Troopy (GXL, 2010 model) and driven lots of 76 crew cabs at work, in the Territory. Love them both. However, lack of space in the 76 is a real issue. As you note the usable space in the 76 is smaller than most comparable vehicles, the GU Patrol for example. My Troopy was a great vehicle but it was extremely noisy on sealed road (with Coopers ATs only). Both models could use a higher ratio on 5th gear, which would suit Aussie conditions where we have to drive long distances on sealed roads to get to our desert tracks. Still, with the demise of the GU Patrol with a beam axle, the Defender and the SUVing of the rest, there is not much choice in Australia now for a usable off road vehicle. My next one will probably be a 76 series with lots of work. Fridge and roller drawers. Good roof rack for the tent, swag, chairs etc. Regards.

Well made points. We have a 76 and are normally 2, but sometimes the grandkids want to come along. So the seats are important. So is the shorter wheel base in the rough. I have built a lightweight platform which I pop in after having removed the back seat (4 bolts). Use the same bolts to secure the platform which covers a 70l water tank plus some storage space. The platform is the same height as the rear drawer system, so we can sleep in the rear if we need to. Yes, the shorter wheelbase makes this a bit cramped, and one needs to push the front seat forward and throw a bag or two in there to extend the bed-but it is not normal for us to want to sleep inside the vehicle so it does the job. Troopy is a great project vehicle!

I meant to replace the air suspension, but it works too well. Then I thought ,"I'll put spring in when it goes..." 120K miles and counting, 95k+ off road. Central and North America only...

Wow. It's not necessarily the price, but what you get for your money. Your dollars don't go really far on that troop carrier at all. I could purchase and do an all-out build on an E-series Ford van and I could probably come out right about where just the purchasing price is on that troopy, and have more room! Or even do a Cummins diesel swap in a chevy suburban with an all-out overlanding setup, and be well under that Troopy purchase budget. I guess that guy was right, you have to really want that stripped-out van to buy one. You do a great job with the channel Andrew, I'm a huge fan!

Ah, you guys in Australia and elsewhere don't know how lucky you are to even be able to buy one or the other! We haven't been able to buy land cruisers new in Canada since like 1982 or something. It's great when you find a vehicle that resonates with you, though, isn't it? And it's plain to see that the 70 series Land Cruiser, especially the Troopy, really does with you, Andrew. I feel similarly about my RD1 CR-V. I absolutely love it and it's one of the best thought out vehicles I've ever driven. It was never designed to go head to head with vehicles like the defender or the land cruiser, but it's so utterly brilliant and shockingly capable for what it is that I can't help but love it.

My thoughts: The wheelbase difference here is so small it makes no perceptible difference in off-road handling. The fact that the 76 is a little less top-heavy makes more of a difference. And gull-wings aren't really a dust problem if they are well made, and being at the side, let in very little dust. My kitchen doesn't have any dust in it as all even after a long run. So differences yes, significant? Not really.

Basically it boils down to how much after cash 💰 you dump into the rig. And at those buy in price points it's out of most peoples price range to do that. Most 4x4 enthusiasts use their daily driver or a 20 plus year old fun truck. So it's nice to watch on Tv i have had Land Cruisers never a new one for that reason i could justify a 1976 Fj 55 in the 90's but not a 2019 just to play with.

I have a 1996 FJ73 soft top. I live in South America. It's a better off-road vehicle than the troopy and wagon but probably small for overlanding in Africa and Australia due to everyone wanting huge rooftop tents and the weight everyone adds. But the midsize wheel base is better for action. We have a ton of old 4x4 vehicles here in Colombia that are rare releases for the rest of the world. They've never stopped making the short and mid wheel base 70 series here. It's old 4x4 heaven here. 40-90 series everywhere on the road. Jeep Willys and land Rover defenders also.

What this video made me realize, however, is that, for my uses, my 80 series is better. I've got the 1HDT diesel, 35s and lockers front and rear. For a weekend car, I can take 7 people out rock crawling in comfort. Time to dream about a 70 series less and enjoy my 80 more.

Great stuff as always Andrew! Ques - Although for your traveling style the Troopy in it's current 2 door configuration is perfect especially once heavily modified. If Toyota offered a 5 door configuration do you think it would end the debate completely, at least for most parties? Do you think that's why they have yet to release one?

if they sold a 5 door Troopy and put in more Airbag's/Safety Equip (into all the 70 Series vehicles), I'd buy one in a second!!! :)

Wish we had a troopy in the US. Closest we can get to that build that I can think of is a sportsmobile and you can’t even get a new e150 for conversion anymore.

Is it impossible to fit the same lift top as on your VDJ78 troopie onto a VDJ76 wagon with no back seat ? What prevents you from being able to do this ? You would keep the body work above the rear doors, as you did with the front doors of the troopie. Possibly you might have to strengthen it a bit for structural integrity. That way you get the height you desire with all the accessibility of the wagon, you just loose a foot of space in the back.

Andrew what is your opinion about the old hj60 and hj61 cruisers? I think the ride is more than rough, but overall they are pretty much bulletproof vehicles..👌 Greetings from Finland.

In the middle east we have the 71 short wheel base version It only weighs 1700 kg It's a beast in the sand and it climb mountain roads like a mountain goat However it's not very practical due to the limited space.

is the tropp carrier roof removable? or do you have to cut it completely?

does cutting the roof off of that truck make it feel flimsy? Does the roof box add rigidity back?

Since you cut of the roof, could you add more space by adding more height and then add the rooftop tent on top? Hmmm? Thanks for the video (-:

Hi Andrew, Love your videos. Watch every single one of them. However on vehicle builds you always talk about vehicles for two people. I understand that it is your requirement and may be demand. Would you be able to do a video for families with kids, if possible. Thanks for great videos and advice. Cheers.
