“Backpackers actually” hahaha ya kiddin

[@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide]

Can’t go wrong with a troopy, they really are a lifestyle vehicle and a community in themselves of troopy owners 🤟🏻

[@Jez3134]

All this content over the last 6 months from Andrew and Ronnie is making me fall in love with Troopys. One of the best builds for a 4wd I've ever seen.

[@madcat4563]

I like troopy builds that aren't the usually camper setup. It's unique, in my opinion.

[@davorocket2825]

The brown bull bar and carpet takes me back to the late 70's when dad got his first 4x4 a FJ55. Our family haven't had brown as a colour in any part of their cars since lol. It's an awesome long distance remote tourer for sure. I could get lost out in the centre country for a month or more in that. Thanks again Ronny for making Sunday morning's cuppa the best cuppa of the week.

[@patroln48]

Yes it does remind you of the 70's, but the color is coming back (the new Jimnys are coming out in this color and look great).

[@lronpaw]

hah! i put a 70 series brown dash in my fj55 :p

[@PaletoB]

I have a 70s typewriter in the exact same colors 😄

[@fathomtheundertaker4356]

28:55 I use mine as a daily driver for last 15yrs, got a new one on order that will be modified even more for long range touring.

[@westralianoffroad]

Ant is a magical man. Being parked up next to the troopy all weekend at the Perth 4wd show I had the pleasure of Ant and the troopy beside me. Tremendous fella and a great vehicle.

[@black_knight_offroad]

Thanks, Matt, likewise :)

[@BorisEkner]

I remember the Black Knight, looked for him on the web - found nothing. Happy to see he’s back. Cool guy.

[@xotic8617]

Love the look of the bullbar…. The brown looks really good as well. No way did I think it was a 2008.. actually thought it was a 2021-2022

[@OS-hx4jk]

I live in the Middle East. In Australia, Africa and the Middle East we are lucky to still be able to buy the magnificent, war-grade Toyota Landcruiser 70 series vehicles. Amazing reliability, even by Toyota standards. If you are spending this much money on mods, it better be on a Toyota.

[@lukefisher328]

Or a Jeep! :D

[@marcondespaulo]

These days I noticed they are available in Colombia. Now, I dream about one. And left-hand drive!

[@snake5219]

It’s a shame that Middle East gets the petrols tho aye

[@malcolmL995]

We have them in New Zealand as well

[@OS-hx4jk]

@@snake5219 In many GCC states, diesel is more expensive than petrol. So we like our petrol V8s!

[@mazevx2451]

One of the few who has the better approach for tires, outfit for the worst you expect not for the stuff you see most.

[@4x4CampingandAdventures]

One hell of a rig he has built and now its a even better colour what a fantastic build and bloke to boot.

[@thelazyoverlander]

What a stonker of a rig.... wow. Ant seems like a nice bloke too.

[@davidmilledge221]

Back in the day we slept in panel vans and hatchback cars now it's 4wd cars , we getting older and thank God 4 roof top tents and troopys and nice caravans to hang out in

[@bill7501]

Wow...down to earth bloke...what an absolute champion this guy is...

[@TheForthElement]

goes everywhere .. except past the heavys GVM checkpoint .. nah good looking beast!

[@jarrod1687]

You watch too much youtube mate, no one in the real world including the transport department and insurance companies care about gvm on passenger light vehicles

[@andrewwilkey6195]

Omega speed master…. A man of taste I see

[@anguscooper]

This rig is a BEAST

[@oldgrumpy]

Absolutely love this troopy. ❤️

[@Outland9000]

Yeah, its a sweet build.

[@touringwithtyrone4933]

102 episodes of my favourite segment, this episode was a top 3…… well done Ronny

[@mickfbr]

Mark and James Robert's at Rapidpower are absolute legends! Miss those guys.

[@OnCountryWithMick]

What a beast of a Troopy. I fully agree it is bloody great to rock up somewhere and have a sleep without people knowing you are even there. That's why I've set up my Pajero for exactly that. Park it up and climb in bed. A Troppy though would offer so much more in options.

[@Pat.Mustard]

She’s an awesome build. Thanks for sharing.

[@billygraysullivaniii200]

I so wish the USA could get stuff like this

[@NorthOz]

I remember watching that 76 years ago! It was so tidy and done to a high level. Gave me ideas for my Prado build. This troopy build definitely making me consider getting one. I remember thinking “This guy must at least 7 foot” 😆 Great episode once again 👍

[@harrywalker968]

sell the prado,buy something with 2 diffs..unless,,you dont go 4x4ing.. or carry spare cv,s & tie rods.. prado,s are tiny.. no good spending thousands, & a $20 tie rod shts.. theres a vid called off road hub.. he went thru that many, he fitted s/duty diffs..

[@jaymoar3561]

@@harrywalker968 Prado is a fine vehicle.

[@wajahatbeg]

Love the truck! Its so intimidating and can do looking.

[@patroln48]

Two great builds, this guy (Ant?) is inspirational. Well presented Ronny! Ahh, how we all wanted a Troopy....sigh.

[@skinnytroopy]

This must have the gvm upgrade to carry all this gear. Definitely a man with means who knows what he likes. Enjoy

[@tonyf7997]

Way to go - once I finish my 2020 200 series I want to do a troopy with a full roof conversion. This is awesome with lots of great ideas! The bar work is awesome and well thought out overall. Love to know why this guy does for a living - he is practical and calm!

[@dlugikudlaty3589]

I love Modified series ❤ those are so inspiring 😻

[@deanriley5690]

Would have been awesome to see Malcolm Douglas and his pioneering cruiser on this.

[@samclark8802]

Ronny’s camera man filmed a series of two of Malcom

[@seanchristie7150]

fantastic episode, the bullbar is spectacular. Good to see a return with a different vehicle. Great to see a functional build, bet Ronny took some seriously good notes

[@mckclark7022]

Seen this travelling from Busselton to Bunbury a couple weeks back. It's definitely a rig. 👌👌

[@ebusdk]

What a fantastic build! Love it, especially the bars. A bit risky naming anything that include the name "pedo" but what do i know ;)

[@paulbrooke3838]

Enjoyed the walk around.👍 Impressive set-up. It was good hearing your rational for the choices you made. Having driven these as off-road ambulances, troopies will always have a special place in my heart, & made me question my choice of going with a '79, but I'm not going to change horses now. Look forward to maybe crossing paths on a remote track sometime.

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for sharing a great video and hope lots of joy traveling

[@PN-fh6wx]

Bloody hell mate. I have the biggest smile watching this sexy car, even have me drooling.

[@OgamiItto70]

Bitchin' ride. Thought-out, not just bling or fashionable crap. Go over show. I dig it.

[@benjaminnissen7977]

Thanks to you both for sharing this awesome troopy. Great build, very well thought about and the envy of many for many a reason. Well done 👍

[@chir0pter]

Man I need to see how this dude climbs into that bed with about 17” of headroom lol 😲

[@matthewtunbridge1808]

Been waiting for this episode for ages! Love this build, awesome stuff!

[@mattmendel930]

One of the best Troopys around, hands down.

[@kingfinance1508]

This thing is absolutely wicked, you, Ant and Torbs would be a killer combo!!!

[@Outland9000]

Like the colour and bar work. Very nice.

[@ndafarachaitezvi1139]

Great content as always.Thanks for sharing

[@paulgriffiths7399]

Never even heard of that awning brand before. I thought I knew them all. But yours is awesome. Fully Aussie made and a good solid 270! Will be thinking of getting this or the bush company xt. Epic build by the way!

[@jeremiahlawrence4120]

Can’t wait to see what he builds next

[@OffroadTouringLife]

Fantastic episode.with a fantastic vehicle.

[@jakedessaix6280]

Love this episode! Pure enjoyment 🤙🏼

Nicely done!

[@DRONEHACKPRODUCTIONS]

Nice work gentlemen 🤠👍🏼

[@jaeger251]

Just 2 minutes in, and this is hilarious! Loved the last video of this dude, and looking forward to the rest.

[@GR8Tmate]

I can confirm that LIFE STOPS WHEN YOU SELL YOUR TROOPY! I plan to be buried in my 2022 build Troopy so I will never experience it again. T R O O P Y L I F E 🤙🏼

[@ksuny23]

영상을 볼때마다 느끼는거지만 호주의 자연환경은 오프로드의 즐거움을 느낄수 있는 천국같음~ 물론 차량 튜닝의 즐거움도 최고~

[@shanedavies9873]

Loved the intro tune 👌

[@wilsonng911]

Wow. This is one truck i love to get my hands on. Very cool.

[@NotStock]

Very well setup

[@LEGODungeon]

Another amazing video! Love it!

[@vukasintodorovic8229]

Fantastic video. Thanks a lot guys. I've learnt a lot 👍🤝

nice car is one of the most robust for off road and I like how you have prepared it😍

[@kingchief4038]

Whats in the draw? "Backpackers" haha classic Great ep love the modified's

[@goathobbyworld719]

Great 4x4 Ronny🙋‍♂️💪💪💪

[@mattottie6410]

I love the troop carrier, wish we in the U S A could buy them, already think of all the mods i would do. Nice rig and well thought out, thx. Matt

[@henrygreen19]

Two beauties. I have seen far worse getting your attention (ha ha ha ha) and money, so these 2 will definitely be winners ! Best with restoring.

[@theezZENtials]

black kinte was my 1st RD vid, been subed since

What a rig😍

Wow I was not expecting that to be a 2008

[@Phil_McAvity]

Nice! 👍

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

its really cool seeing a tricked out 78, dont see many of those around in SA... a lot of 79's, few 76's but basically no 78's

[@AlRaisi777]

Very cool .

[@glenmurphy5233]

That's awesome

That troopy is nearly as nice as boomythetroopy!😏 what a beautiful piece if art though👌

Tuff Troopy. Love it. 🇦🇺❤️🍺👍

[@gibbethoskins8621]

So good

[@adamleard4574]

Ronny. You should serious do more with other legend. Typical troopy owner like me. Best modified yet 💯

[@pen1910]

yep .. travelled around Oz in a Troopy

[@callumwhite1501]

Looks heavy 😳

[@MrResiman]

Great build, makes my 2010 look poor. However I love my Troopy, built came tax deduct able, it has a split personality, one day work, two days later off road beast. Great to hear that at 250K I'am still running in after going to the 4 corners of OZ

[@elg0rdo351]

Bloody hell! Intro could be from he Camel Trophy. :O That vehicle looks awesome indeed. I drive my 76 mainly on tarmac but I want those tyres! :D

[@dmac9777]

Hey Ronda, you should do an episode on troopies with comparisons over the years. History of the troopy.

[@c10196]

"these vehicles are underpowered out of factory", as a previous 1hz 75 owner, I strongly disagree the new 78's VDJ drive nice without 4000kgs of aftermarket gear bolted to the vehicle.

[@randindragonheart4558]

Not too much weight added from those groceries you pick up, eh? XD

[@c10196]

@@randindragonheart4558 Yeah the groceries have tons of space, don't even run a bullbar. We are not inner city so i suppose that makes it fine as a Daily driver :). Plus Mr Toyota designed the vehicle within the limits of its chassis and powertrain. the 22 VDJ78R is fine stock with its sweet 225/95R16's - everyone else in our family puts wide tyres on the 70's. and we run our 70's on the skinnys and are smiling every time we drive the 78.

[@alanbstard4]

@@c10196 yes they weren't designed with all this camping and aftermarket stuff in mind. None were really. They;re all mining and ag vehicles but they show adaptability

[@jarrod1687]

the only to Toyota I'd own, the troopy

[@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx]

If it can take on the desert it can take on anything really

[@oneshoeboxer8]

Makes me wish I could get a troopy in the states easily.

With the TAUPEDO number plates i was waiting on Taubs to jump out.

[@afaqgul2165]

Love the sorta car, it’s sorta nice. I sorta wish I had one

[@moyloy987]

Great product placement….

[@johnbaister502]

As a general rule Southwest Antennas recommends customers place omni-directional antennas a minimum of one wavelength apart from one another, while three wavelengths apart or greater is preferred. This can be easily calculated by hand or by using an online calculator.

[@lindamartin8562]

Hi guys love the video , we are waiting for our brand new Troopy , just wondering about where you put the water tank thanks
