A quick little run down of my brand new 2024 Toyota Landcruiser 78 Series Troop Carrier GXL 2.8L Auto and what I plan to do with it.

I feel like I talked a million miles an hour in this video. Sorry about that. I was too excited. 😂 Anywho, if you guys have any tips or recommendations please drop me a comment below. Thanks legends.
$85,000 on a new car and you want to change the seats and put a new door in?!?!
Hey Scotty. I'm a dad with 4. I would recommend putting the baby on the passenger side because if they are behind the driver it's really hard to see them from the drivers seat. On the passenger side you can easily turn and see them. Also, getting them in and out the passenger side is far safer, so having bubs near the door will be easier to put them in and out of the baby seat. Especially when it's raining. Congrats on the new little Scotty. 🎉 having kids is the best thing I've ever done.
That’s a lovely motor mate. I’ve had 9 Toyotas, there bombproof. She won’t let you down. Keeping things simple for such a vehicle is better, less to break, less to go wrong. I like the retro look, it’s boxy & more practical. Win, win Scotty, well done mate. Best wishes, us lot in England
Hey mate toyota fitted the anchor points above the rear doors on my troopy. Saves alot of rear space. We have 2 kids both under 5. We got our troopy the week before my daughter was born. Yes it's a challenge with 2 doors but I wouldn't change it. The kids bloody love it
Gidday Scotty, I've got the same one, 4 months and 4500 kms, love it. On a few things you noted, you've already got 33" tyres from factory, the pizza cutters are actually very capable off-road. I modified 79 dual cab steps for full length side steps on my Troopy, can reach roof racks, I got a generic centre console online $40 works a treat, good arm rest height, same goes for door armrests $70, you don't have to pay $300 for the one commonly touted they are not worth it. I've done heaps of long distance driving on factory seats with sheepskin covers, comfy as. I used a mirror mount reverse camera it includes front camera, both can record video. Lots can be done on a budget to put to your roof pop top. Enjoy they are awesome.
Good onja, Scotty. You deserve her. But I advice you to add only what you really need. Rust proofing, sound proofing the floor, a roof rack and a second battery for the fridge (not connected to the car battery).
Unreal mate welcome to the troopy family! Suits you down to the bone. What a weapon! I have built two troopies now only because my first one got stolen. As for the anchor points you were asking about we had them fitted from a mob in Perth I forget the name of the place but it was really easy to find with a Google search. A piece of advice that might interest you in regards to having a young family. I was also thinking of installing the third door but I never ended up going ahead with it and honestly it's wasn't even the slightest inconvenience lifting my young fella into the car seat (especially if you're tall). Now that he is 2 years old he climbs into his chair by himself anyway. One other piece of advice I wish I was given when building a troopy as a family tourer is don't listen to negative comments people might have to say about the troopy. It is the perfect touring rig for our family and we really haven't upgraded much at all. Looking forward to seeing where it takes ya.
Must be doing alright for yourself, well done.

I agree - you do need a solid vehicle to get you out to remotes places....and back again!
Good on you mate, loving the personal growth and growth of the channel
Nice one mate you’ll love it! Best travel rig.
Hi Scotty, it was very nice to see your father in the bush 😀 so take good care of him; 🤩 I took my 10-year-old daughter with me in the deep Norwegian forest for a week. We had a compass and a map. it was a small, cozy trip and we had a fantastic time🌨️🇳🇴🌨️
Congrats! I hadn't even heard of these until you/Mattsy started talking about getting them. Seems like a great vehicle!
Congrats mate, well deserved and keep up the good work!
Awesome to hear you'll continue the trekking/ canoeing. I think your videos are great due to the simplicity of your gear and the real bush experiences. Too many bogans are ripping up the bush with their modified 4x4s and thinking getting back to nature involves generators and flood lights. Then they wonder why NPs shut trails.
Always wonderful when anyone get's a dream thing they want!!!
Congrats on the new car Scotty, looking forward to the new adventures you'll show us with it!
Ona mate, congrats on the buy. Glad to see what you make of it!
