You should do a video of the front lokka, why you changing it over, what went wrong, would you recommend it, is it worth the bucks? Cheers brother

[@patrollocal]

What he said ^^

[@bigoz1734]

4 seconds in and I here "daily" content and I'm down for this. Looking forward to it

[@debbiegodfrey4843]

You are making a lot of people very happy with these videos Adam! 👍

[@heftymerv]

I did my 80 series in this stuff, like driving a new car its so quiet. Worst part now is I can hear the wife and kids...lol.. Keep it up champ... Would really like to know more on the lokka and how it failed. I like you have about 50 mods that I can do however just don't have the time.

[@toms_gupooe]

Keen to see the daily vids mate, what ever you come up with I'm keen to watch 👌👌👌

[@Denankempy]

Just subscribed love that your down to earth bro and honest, your easy to relate to and your not like everyone else that claim to know everything. Can’t wait to learn with you 🤙🏾

[@guitar14]

Great video Adam. I think you should tackle the front locker, experience is what you get right after you need it. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Tennessee, USA. 👍

[@quinnwarman5139]

That stuff will work wonders for you and is great to prevent driving fatigue from noise welldone mate

[@meanrigs4x483]

Will love the daily vlogs mate, keen to see them 🍻👌

[@shug6009]

The right hand wheel well is shaped like that for the 2nd tank filler. I'm doing the same thing, but with a rusty car. Big job!

[@Rec_hunt_fish]

Theres only one way to learn thats by taking it apart and putting it back together again,, that way 2 things happen , 1 you learn how to do it and 2 you will be better at it next time ,, so dont be afraid and if there is anyone doing the old " i told ya so" they can get stuffed good on ya for giving it a go !!

[@Jaasper.S]

Yes Sir!!! Bring it on

[@ltholmsy]

if you sleep in the back. or even if not.
recommend getting some cheap windscreen reflectors and chopping them up to cover the rear side windows. helps with heat but also helps you sleep past sunrise.
also make use of the space in the side panels. dont just cover with wood. make cabinets/shelves to store bits and pieces like spare parts and oils etc.
hopefully the ban on having fun doesnt last to long and we can all get back out there.

[@benrainford6603]

Wheel arch is like that cause of the fuel filler!!! Exact same on mine! 🤙🏼

[@johntope9183]

could make some cup holders or armrests that sit on your window sill. or some inbuilt storage into your rear doors. gas bonnet struts?

[@timedwards2886]

Hey mate the difference in the wheel wells is in all troopys. I believe it is to do with the filler for the rear tank.

[@expired_concept4418]

Those dints in the wheel arches come factory in all troopys dunno why but they all have it 🤪

[@Np1358]

The dent is there for the fuel hose runs down to the tank

[@lyleneumann2245]

Nice one mate. I let the ads run as every dollar counts in this day.

[@tahirusman5929]

See if you can get ALLOPAR undercoat and rust prevention spray cans .Maybe use them to deaden the insides of the door.Darn good product!Used it on my Y60

[@liamperrysmith2820]

The bit on the wheel arch is to cover the sub tank filler pipe work 👍🏽

[@adoniskatrivessis1143]

I have a 75 troopy and it’s super loud but I put some stuff it’s like a gym man but not as heavy and it made a world of difference but I wanna do the doors walls and roof

[@ethandale22]

Cheers brother don’t worry about it we are all bored lol we will watch

[@jamiegreenwood7996]

installed aussie lokka recently to my 75 series ute .......havent used it yet with all the corona stuff going on
......would be interesting to know what parts failed in yours adam???

[@quinnwarman5139]

You shud maybe look into perspex for the panel in back as you can still router them and won't expand if they get wet last forever just a thought

[@fireball570]

Use plywood for the side panels. Maybe stuff your spare parts in the dead space behind them? Use either 4 or 7 mm. 3mm will be too flexi. Install it with rivnuts, that way you can screw them on and off easily, not self tappers. Ply will last longer than MDF and not swell with moisture. Same with if you build units in it if your going to use wood. Ply not mdf. Then either cover it in a thin carpet/ or leave it and polyurethane it. Plywood is lighter than MDF also, which probably is a good thing. Worked a treat on my GQ. Also did sound deadening and plan to do stage 2. Huge difference. You'll be impressed when you do the doors.

[@benwhitmore2265]

Can you do a video on your experience with the lokka?

[@jamesbushy9031]

Making the best of a fukd situations well done dude i enjoyed ya vid

[@andrewheadland50]

I've used thin plywood, used a gas torch to bring out the grain then cleared coated. It look great & cheap than mbf

[@liampoor9699]

3mm packaging ply?

[@willreed6231]

Why’d your locker break? Brand related or? The one I got was from America and has stronger pins then the Aussie “lokka” brand. It’s been good to me

[@derykzegveld7172]

Don't get mdf, get marine ply. If you flood the troopy even a little bit they will swell up so much

[@shanenorwell8580]

Native and mdf is about 2.5 times the weight too.

[@kamilustupski2247]

Every troopy has the dint thingy in the wheel arch, I think its because of where the fuel hoses go into the tank. Also please make a video about the lokka

[@blakechapel5960]

Do you remember what brand it was you got?

[@muzzarobbo]

barn door table or custom emu wings for side windows

[@NotStock]

Sound deadener was the first thing i did to my troopy, also my troopy has the same indented rear wheel arch i think its factory

[@NotStock]

[@SamMarkham]

Good work. But while the car is apart I would finish the job and cover all those areas

[@psy06]

def do the whole roof, makes a massive difference. also, dont use mdf for the panels, get some 3mm plywood and carpet it. will last much longer than mdf and can take a bit of punishment.

[@fish7810]

The wheel arch situation is your fuel filler neck is on the drivers side and is behind that littlte bit

[@garryboyd7092]

Wheel arch difference would be due to fuel filler point!

[@robertdaley7132]

An easy cheap mod putting some netting in the roof for storage, like sleeping gear and clothes.

[@charliewoelders8795]

My Troopy has the same wheel arch, pretty sure its for the sub tank.

[@joshoconnor8078]

Charlie Woelders my BJ70 SWB Cruiser has the same wheel arch but no sub tank?

[@jameshamilton7044]
