Some of you may remember, a
round 2005, I built a Unimog camper.
Well ... I am at it again.
We have had our Land Cruiser Troopy (78) camper now for 3 years, and have decided to modify it for extended travel. For Africa, and a lot of the world, the Troopy cannot be beaten. However, where we want to go to a drastic change is needed.
By extending our Troopy wheelbase by 600mm, and when shipping removing the rear paraphernalia (gas bottles, boxes and spare wheels), we have managed to come to a length of 5.8m. Height being another challenge will require the bed being fitted on sliders to the popup roof to enable it to fit into the space in the box whilst traveling and sliding it over the cab when sleeping/down.
The interior box size will be 2.75m length x 1.75m wide x 1.25 m high (2.25m roof popped up). As to the current of 2m length, and 1.4 wide with about the same height. There has been many iterations in design to be able to optimise the limited space.
Why the Land Cruiser as a platform?
- it must be able to go where any other vehicle and 4x4 can go
- costs of travel; shipping and entry feels (countries, national parks, etc)
- basic motor; no turbo to stress the motor
- spares available across the globe
- for us to replace it will cost too much with all the extras that we have
Current challenges in the current configuration:
- too narrow for two people to pass each
- the toilet is just under a bench, need more privacy
- not designed for colder climates; need an internal shower for colder days
- need a bigger clothes cupboard that also has hanging space
- want a gas oven for bread, etc
- no internal heating (air diesel heater)
- no ability to drop the popup roof and still have the bed out (cold or bad weather, and covert camping)
- seating is not comfortable (need back support)
The cruiser will be back this week, and then over the next few weeks, the frame for the chassis to mount the box, and the box itself will be made.
It is a daunting task, but we are committed now .. hahaha

The R380 is sufficient for the Powerstroke motor. It would be ideal if the R380 was a suffix K version which is an upgrade from the suffix J box.

Hi Michael,
I’ve had no issues with mine that was fitted in 2007.
Its 375 Nm torque maximum just fits within the specs of the R380. So as others pointed out it’s still possible to shorten gearbox lifetime if you wanted to but all good for me with decent driving.
Eben’s notes on the conversion are excellent. As far as I recall mine came with a variable nozzle turbo.
Cheers,
François

The inside has also began, will send pics later

Our aim is to have a vehicle that is as big as possible and yet be able to fit in a container (a standard container is 5.89m long and 2.39m high). Balancing that with the requirement that we must be able to live in her for a few years, in all weather conditions, is not a simple task.

Hi all
For years the cab heater element (Part Nº AAP817 or UTP1725) of my Defender has been disconnected / bye-passed due to it leaking - causing coolant loss.
Got a new one from the UK (a long time ago) and have decided that it's time to fit it - after all, summer has arrived! LOL.
Question:
The heater matrix is surrounded by a sticky black foam (referred to in the workshop manual as "foam rubber"). It holds the matrix in place and prevents air from passing around the matrix instead of going through it. I suspect that the stickiness is age related.
Anyone have any experience of this / could tell me what product (actual specification) the "foam rubber " is.
Obviously, it needs to be heat resistant, so I can't just use a sheet of polystyrene. 🙂

A couple of months have passed since my last post on the build.
On the long weekend we did our first trip. Although she is not complete, the basics were working.
Hopefully next month she goes for painting, but until then she is good enough to use.

Hello Piet,
I extended the wheelbase by 60cmThe troopy wheelbase is just under 20cm shorter than a single cab and the single cab rear overhang is 20cm longer than the troopy. So the camper is only 20cm longer than a single cab.As for the handling ... it is smoother, but the turning circle is horrendous ... but I would prefer the extra to be between the axles instead of the overhang on the rear.

Easy tigers, it's not all doom and gloom.
Are you over 60?
My sister and BIL just (ie three weeks ago) did their passports
at Randburg HA quite smoothly. They treat the older folk very well
and move them to the top of the queue. Randburg also seems to have
declared war on the touts and the staff are genuinely helpful.
Queues are still an issue though.
Once processed, collection was in less than 10 days. They live in the UK so they could basically do all the admin on the same trip.
My other sister did the same on a trip out here in December.
Passport wasn't ready by the time she flew back to the UK but I
could collect it on her behalf using a letter of authority and a
passport stamp (in her British passport) proving that she was out
of SA.
Now my niece, 25, had to stand in the queue because she made the
mistake of registering online using her UK cell number. Just don't
do this, use a local number on the site. The other complication is
that she doesn't have a SA ID. I assisted her as guardian and the
people at HO were very helpful. Still waiting to see how that pans
out.
There are many SA's in the UK making sure their RSA citizenship/ passports are up to date. And not just for the convenience of travel. Grass/ Greener etc.
Cheers
Neale

Hi Willem
The doom and gloom comment was not directed at you specifically.
I am merely pointing out that not everyone's experiences are as bad as yours.
I do hope you can resolve your issue. Another mate walked into
one of the banks HA offices and managed to get assistance without
having gone via the web. That was two years ago though.
Keep well
Neale

Agreed, the first day queue tested our mettle, however I could not get an appointment at the bank within the timeframe (accounts with both Standard & FNB). Complicated by Rhona having to present herself to the SA consulate in London who mailed home affairs in Bronkies.
The supervisor was excellent. I was able to arrange that I collect Timothy’s 2nd passport whilst he was already in the UK (legally). Trust me, getting second passport for a minor without Mommy present can be challenging. We also applied for his ID & my 2nd passport – all came through in record time.
Out of gratitude, I offered to buy a case of Cokes for the staff – he politely refused on the grounds that it would be unethical.. This man gets my vote!
