I'm 20 years away from my retirement roof-conversion troopy, but you had me until the end. Best 1-take videos I've seen, just awesome!. PS. Please be in business in 25 years.

I've been researching this for a while with many videos. I've never heard anyone say that you'll lose the back seat. So thanks for the info!..... and there goes my dream of a conversation haha

It looks like you know your stuff when it comes to Troopy's. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon. This conversion is a game-changer. But like you said, it has to be done right!

I both pity and envy you guys in Australia. On one hand, you have access to all these great 70 series and Patrols. On the other hand, you have all these draconian rules and regs preventing you from modifying your vehicles. Here in North America you can do whatever you want to your car and no one cares. I suppose there might be some rules here but no one really pays much attention to it. You know, in the end we probably don't have any different road accident statistics due to modified vehicles. That whole "engineering" fluff, well I'm a mechanical engineer and it makes no difference if you're an engineer. Anyone can just take it for a drive and inspect it and see for themselves if it's good. Just a make work project for micro managers in government.

Ivan! Simon from the Turners auction days! This is brilliant. I have some questions. How come 4x4 overland in WA doesnt mention engineering on his builds? What happens to rust protection when cutting the roof? You mention troopy variations. I had a trakka conversion and one day after years of work the windscreen started to leak and the rear doors drooped. Is that an eventuality? I currently own a 2020 79 dual cab gxl which i want to set up, i id love to catch up 👍👍👍

Head room is lowered with the roof conversion. Rear sits sit higher than the front seats. Not enough head room to safely/legally have rear seats. In other words, hit a bump and someone breaks their neck.

@@aussieadventurenerd8137 Appreciate getting back to me. I'm still doing some more research, spoke to my dealer who did mine and no issues with back seats staying in as long as GVM upgrade done at same time. Also had the tape measure out in a few cars! Got 92 cm in the back of my converted troopy but less in the front when you measure to the parcel shelf. Tall guys would be more concerned about a forehead smash! Was in a little sports car the other day and really no head room in those things. Different rules for different States?? My plate says 5 seater pre rego conversion, with the GVM upgrade. No harm double checking your source. Nice video though - cheers.

The 2 passengers limitation is interesting... So a young family of three is running out of options and may need to go the camper trailer route 😢
