where?

hi all, Could anyone advice me on a good alternative for the genuine floormat in a troopy? My original is wornout.

Another day, besides finding some more rust :sweat:, I have removed the side windows and cleaned the body to be sanded.

Was that because sleeping in the tent was too cold? What temperatures did you experience during your trip?

I have about 4-5 weeks. I plan on sleeping in the back of my troopy, it is well insulated and I have heating options.

Feel free to share, very interested. I want to stick to the coast and drive up to Nordkapp. Also heard that some inland parts are amazing, but those will be crazy cold!

Looking forward to the challenge, thinking of maybe having a set of spike tires fitted for certain parts of the trip. Will post pics of the trip on this forum.

I am aware of this, thanks for the headsup dave!

Thanks, will have a look at it tomw!

Any spot specifically? Mine is a august 2001 model.

Thanks for the headsup, how thick is the steel on yours?

@Jamie Jenkins I have made a number of trips overland, and am currently building a 78 troopy for some cool trips! Feel free to send me a message to chat about my experiences and tips. First tip I would give you; any budget that you have in mind will be 25% more at the end ;)!

I cant seem to be able to send you a PM.

The last couple of days I have been busy removing doors, bumpers, lights etc. I have also started to clean the rust of the chassis. Found another couple nasty rust spots:

Hi all! In the last year I have restored a Mercedes Westfalia campervan and travelled through North-America in it. During this build I found lots of helpful tips on this forum. It is now time to become a more active members and contribute to the Land Cruiser knowledge database. In this topic...
