    Pop Tops - Alucab vs Mulgo

    I looked at both the Mulgo and AluCab, before finally opting for the AluCab. IMHO both have their own good & bad point, the Mulgo has internal locking Latches and the AluCab has a longer bed with its fold down second flap. I’m happy with the AluCab, but I think you have to look at which suits...

    HZJ79 air bags n shocks

    I went with a set of Airbag Man air bags on the rear of my Troopy with King Shocks, but if you just want a standard set of shocks (non-remote reservoir) have a look at the EFS XTR range. IMHO keep away from IronMan, but that's just my opinion………. Air Bags | Superior Engineering - [Leaving Land...

    Scott's VDJ79

    TT gear upgrade is currently £610 plus shipping, duties and such from Aus, then the fitting...... new box is the best way to go for sure

    Scott's VDJ79

    Cheers, I have had a few things for my Troppy shipped from Australia now...... and as you say, normally works out cheaper too.

    Scott's VDJ79

    Looking good there…. white is the best colour for sure. How did the new gearbox cost compare to the Terrain Tamer 5th gear mod, maybe next year I’ll look at upgrading mine too.... but with 33” tyres its not too bad, having said that a taller 5th would still be nice.

    Rear fog light switch for a metal dash VDJ79

    I forget what was fitted in my old 80 series, but it’s a rectangular switch it should fit the older 79 series with the flat dash.

    Batteries under the bonnet and CTEK in the boot.

    I have a Redarc BCDC charger, very happy with its performance. It has a MPPT controller built in and its suitable for all battery types, later i will replace the AGM battery with a lithium.

    Building a mongrel Landcruiser

    Why not fit a coil rear end to a VDJ78, if coils are high on the must have list Toyota 70 Series Landcruiser Coil Conversion | JMACX - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]. Having said that, I'm happy with the leaf springs on the rear of my Troopy........ don't forget good shocks make a difference too.

    I have driven both for work over the years…… My choice would be the HZJ79, based on larger cabin and coil front end.

    Zero emissions Electric JCB

    Correct, but in recent years we have seen a tread of customers replacing electric rope shovels with diesel hydraulic excavators / shovels due to their flexibility. The 2 main mines where I work produce over 110 million tons of coal a year, but not 1 electric machine in sight.

    True, where does the coal come from for the power stations. All diesel power here,........
