THE ULTIMATE HJ47 TROOPY - 12HT POWER - TOUR RIG RUNDOWN EP 001 

Hats off to this rig, very tasty, and no silly bling.

Love this thing! Old Toyota’s are the best. Good to see people giving these old rigs a new life

Real nice rig. Nice to see cool old Troopys come back to life!

Nice Troopy. I have had Troopcarriers since 1980. Love them.

Great idea to see what people are traveling in .

Thank you for making this video.

Nice reliable old truck, nice build

The 40 come up great love the simplicity of things.

Love the simplicity 😀

Great vid! Looking forward to seeing some more builds

Great rig, nice and simple without heaps of gadgets, mods, accessories... just a few high quality parts. Well done with the fimling and editing on this. The channel has come a long way guys!!

Oooh rig rundown! Brilliant work Matt and Holly! I love the sleeping arrangements in this troopy, very keen to see what you guys go with.

Awesome. Love the keep it simple concept. Gets you to where you want to be. Well done 👍

That’s a great fj 40 series Troopy. 😃👍. I liked the vid 🦘🦘🦘. My Troopy has a Perth Brunswick x-military low kms V8 with a turbo. 75 series 5 speed with ranger 111 Daisy drive. I’m still working on it since 2009. My wife laughs when I say, ‘I fixed the Troopy!!!’ How many times has she heard that? I’m yet to find space for the air con condenser, then I’ll be right and the original knee freezer will be back up and running. It’s already got 10 radiators to keep it cool, but it works. 8 of them are oil coolers for radiators as well as a front radiator and a massive one underneath in the wheel well. It’s amazing what you can do with heater hose and high pressure irrigation pipe. Also I’m yet to connect the double Donaldsons to the turbo. It sounds like a farm tractor and smells like one too. The Troopy seats 10 people. I recommend everyone gets an old Troopy, and just poke along with it, if that’s what you would like to do for a hobby. And it’s really exciting, you never know who will come over and have a yarn about it next.🦘🦘🦘👍. People love the old troopees the most I reckon, more than the shorties and tray backs, and like old mate said in the vid, they are getting harder to find.

what an awesome rig. love it.

Awesome troopy 👍👌

Awesome concept, awesome rig, awesome production, cheers and thanks for your efforts.

Awesome setup! Great work mate.

Nice, I had my troopy HJ45 for thirty five years as my daily run around, a great truck. I Sold it for twice my purchase price. The new owner did a soft restoration, the vehicle will run on for many decades. Cheers

Awesome stuff

Insoportablemente Bello el carro........buen trabajo.

WHAT A BEAUTY !!! I realy like the idea to keep it nice and simple. Cool idea with this Rig Rundown series by the way;-)

Darcy's rig looks great .. simple but effective for what they want, the KISS format works great. Rig rundown episodes are great for me because they give me ideas of what I'd like to do to my diesel non-turbo 80 series. I look forward to seeing what you do with your troopy. I had an FJ40 petrol many years ago and it was a great fun beast.

Exciting stuff ! Can’t wait for the next episode already 👍🏽

Love it! Nothing flashy - just everything that works for the owner! I have had 3 x 60’s, an 80, a 100TD and a 200 - my hj61 with the 12ht is the favourite of the lot, but watching this 40 has got me looking at Gumtree....

Nice, I love rundowns

Sick video! Keen for more

Sweet as, this rig.

Nice formula mate. Love the build up pics mixed in. keep it up... Always a sucker for a neat 40.. Ive got three!

Gem ❤

Cool as bro

I was watching that thinking how did I get here watching someone else.... Nice... This is going to be awesome, not as good as my 80, but awesome....lol

Great Troopy. Couple of comments I want to share. The snorkel. You might consider carrying a removable extension tube for those unknown depths. Hate to see you suck any water into that motor. Also, the roof rack. How about a sheet of something lightweight on the bottom of the rack, to give an extra layer protection from the sun. Remember the old Landys had a double layer on some, with airflow between. Adds some insulation, as the top layer cops all the heat. Safe travels. Greg - TAS

Got here from Roothys retirement for Milo...glad to have watched🍻

The toughest ride I’ve seen was an Hj ute dumped on its guts, 22 inch low profiles, growling V8,chrome side pipes and timber tray. It drove through Newcastle one night and I haven’t seen it since. Food for thought.

Sweet truck, my dream car. For now the Bj40 qill do

Great vid guys I can’t wait to see your rig build up and maybe when we get around closer to you guys you’d like to check out our set up.

Got a Jimny that you might be interested in doing a run down on. Have done Two 4 month road trips with her in the past. She has done well for a little car. As far south as tassie. Located Darwin.

Just be careful of those kick out vents in the foot well. On our way to our wedding in the middle of summer I was getting a bit hot so I kicked mine out resulting in both of us getting covered in dust , the wifes wedding dress & all. OUCH !!

Which power steering box fits these? Is 60 series box a direct replacement?

Found an old cruiser in a paddock for $200! Wish that was me! Did he know the owners or was it on Gumtree/Marketplace? Ill have to keep and eye out for $200 cruisers...

Good video man how much drama is to it hj45 a 12ht thanks if you respond from Southern California

lovely truck.i would like to have a 12HT diesel engine and 5 speed gearbox for myself.any advise?

Personally I would shift the Donaldson up higher 👍

olá sou do Brasil, tenho uma FJ40 no Brasil se chama toyota bandeirante 1993

Put a side door on it.

Intro song please??

Wicked. Fkn awesome 12ht engine, eat-your-heart-out shitty common rail lovers - hahahaha

That salt water driving makes me cringe, it sends my anti rust OCD into overtime but at the same time you gotta do what you gotta do to see some cool places I guess.

This was underwhelming...
