Can one of you fabulous Troopy owners out there mind measuring the height and width of their rear door. I'm thinking of getting one but need to know if my Banshee will fit through the door apperature. Do all Troopies have the same sized doors? Any help would be appreciated.

all 7x series troopies have the same size doors up till now. i can't really measure mine at the moment, but i can ask my parents to do it if your not in a hurry. (i'm on the other side of the planet at the moment). WTF is a banshee

The opening across the bottom is ~1330mm. At the floor it is ~1200mm due to curved lower corners (which you should be able to roll a quad across). The opening at the top is ~1180mm. The doors don't swing back all the way (on mine at least), so the gap between the open doors is very approximately 1220mm.
A troopy would look sick with a quad in the back

OK the width seems alright. The Banshee is 1160mm wide. I just need to check the height, the quad is 1100mm high. I'm pretty sure there will be no worries with the length, its 1800mm long. Thanks....

I'll get some more measurments tomorrow, but i'm just over 6'1 and can only just fit lying in the back of my troopy (i have to sleep on the diagonal), but my cargo barrier is a fair way back. without the barrier the quad will fit with heaps of room to spare.

Any height measurements anyone???....
If everything works out I'll post pictures of me doung a burnout in the back of the Troopy. I just need the height measurement!
BTW, will the troopy do a burnout? Would make a cool picture. Not on public road of course....

Height of doorway: 1070mm
Height of roof: 1230mm
I guess a later model petrol troopy could do a burnout, not sure about a new TD. A N/A diesel definately couldn't! Can't say i've ever seen it

Sounds like a challenge!
Thanks for all the help, might just be doable.
