just bought a troopy 75 series 1998 4.2D

Glenno great vehicle,
My advise about the wife, simple. Get a new one, one that likes troopy's.

I would talk to ARB or simmilar who can have a look and advise on the best fixing points suited to your vehicle.

I just had ARB Northern here in Melbourne look at my 78 series and it's a problem to fit any hooks to this model. Bottom line no provision made by Mr Toyota for same.
I never had a look at my 75 series when I had it so I do not know if they are in the same boat. May be others can advise.
Let me know how you go.
Enjoy
Regards
John

Struth- and here I am with a Troopy at the top of the 2/hand shopping list- Jackaroo ('92) auto in for "diagnostic" check up after warning light came on- I'm just waiting for results and thinking the worst I guess- Glenno what are the reasons she doesn't like it? if it's the comfort thing I won't be giving in on that one (I think) - thanks for any info.

Is the towbar a hitch reciever style . . . or a flat one . . .

If your wife finds it uncomfortable why not throw the lounge suite and coffee table up the back and tell her she looks like granma out of the beverly hillbillies lol

ok i was a bit unfair on the wife . the only thing she didnt like about it was the side facing seats in the back because they are dangerous with only lap belts , and as we have 2 small children i would not put them in these . this has been solved by taking out the 2 forward front facing seats and replacing them with an aftermarket bench seat . the 2 outside seats have retractable shoulder belts (these are anchored in between the 2 pairs of sliding windows) . the middle one has lap only belt but a harness point is there if i want to use it . the rear side facing seats are there still if needed . the 2 front seats were taken out and a pair of ford falcon bucket seats were put in . (PS,all this was done properly and has been complianced and now has comfortable seating for 9 ) . kids or adults can get in to the bench seat in between the 2 front buckets , just watch out for your head on the overhead console . (this suits me at the moment and if i wanted a diffrent 4wd with 4 doors i would have bought one ) .

It's the wife here. It is just a bit hard to actually get in the vehicle - I am a bit short.

Glenno,
If you have an A.R.B. bullbar with a High Mount winch it should have tow eyes on it.

ok i probably didnt explain myself properly . i will mainly be sand driving , so if i get bogged , where on the front of my vehicle do i connect the snatch strap (assuming there is another vehicle) . i have a arb bullbar with a warn high mount winch . PS. thank you for your responses .
