Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I have bought a new shed nice and big and oh yer it came with a house the shorty 40 is all but done just finishing off breaks and then back to enginer then its time to start using it. Any way that leads me to the next PROJECT for the new shed i would like it if some people could post some side elevation pics of 40 tropys i can cut and past etc plus some measurements mainly after tub length from door back and wheel base i have gone cold on the 80 build up i had in mind thanks in advance for input Darren

If i build this truck it will be a lot of things but the motive will be a very tuff very capable 4 seater that will also fit a fridge in the back i guess to give ya a idear of what im thinking of building, ive always liked the look and style of the Bummer that was in the top truck chalange some years ago in the states

I'll see if i can dig out some photos of mine before during, and after the chop.

Hows it going tazz thanks that would be good im wanting to get the measurments that are different between a shorty and troopy as well as photos of a virgin troopy tub that will help me with cut and pasting of photos mocking up what i have in mind garanteed to be different . We dont move in to the new place till April but ill be on the lookout for the right donner veichael not long after .

the chassis measurements should be in the landcruiser workshop manual. Wheelbase, spring mounts, body mounts etc. Not sure if they also have body measurements.

i only just have a workshop and waste of time having a manual for my 40 as it has 80 diffs and radiator(rear mounted) not to mention round boingers not ski's, chev V8, honda seats, 8 different cars make the steering etc etc looks like ill have to put a tape measure in the car and go for a drive thanks any way thought some one on here might have a troppy that could give me some rough measurements no probs

this is sort of what i have in mind (my first cut and past be kind) but wanting to start with useing the standard wheel base and chassie of a troopy

The only info i have Daz is a 47 troopy is 4760mm or 116 inches long and the wheelbase is 2950mm or 116 inches.. hope this helps..

yes thank you where is the 4760 from and to thanks in advance
also could you measure roughly for me from the seam behind the front doors to the rear of the body or chassie approx is fine to the mm not required thanks again Darren

I have taken a measurement from the seam that runs directly behind the seats and out to the back doors.. ie tub lenth and taking it from the front of the seam ie towards the front of troop to the back doors is 2205mm.. hope it helps.
