Id love to have a US source for a clamshell camper top or pop top for my troopy. Hopefully will get to see her in person sometime.

@aghadjip I've been bugging Trakka of Australia to launch a US department... no luck so far.

I'd love to see your troopy too! Looks like the perfect rig. Jealous of your diesel.

Glad you all like it! Get's me motivated to do more to it!

Just replaced the leaking clutch master cylinder this weekend so it's finally getting some much needed love. Next on the list is to repair the fiberglass pop-top where I tried to fit it in the garage with it up... still hear that sickening crunch. :worried: Thankfully it didn't hurt it too bad. I'm going to put an entire extra layer over the whole top since it's very flimsy (actually what saved it from total destruction) and I doubt it would stand up to a NM hail storm very well as-is.

That's just awesome! Very jealous. One day I'll get one, maybe!

@Young Satchel Thanks! Here's a few more recent ones:





I've got all the components to rebuild the steering linkage if I can just find the time. Maybe that will cure the wandering a bit... although I kind of like the nostalgic sloppy steering!
