OzWagon - My HZ75 series Troopie

[1leglance]

Hey David,
I got the latch from grainger and it is made by the same company that does all the normal ones people use.

It is worth the money as it works soooo much better than the other style people use

Quick Update

I'm horrible at build threads and keeping things updated, but I wanted to make sure people know the OzWagon hasn't been getting neglected.

Some recents:

• Removed 2nd row seats
• Extended passenger side platform to accomodate a sleeping pad
• Installed OEM snorkel head for winter (I ripped the Donaldson off in the woods )
• Chased down a broken wire to some LED's... all are now operational (Red/White)
• Finished the larger rear door interior panel/storage
• Bed lined (black) both rear door panels
• Random day trips and an overnighter here and there when I get a chance!

This is definitely one of those trucks that I find myself smiling while driving. I must look pretty goofy on the wrong side of the truck with a big grin on my face :smiley_drive:

You know I think the "joy" aspect of a vehicle is overlooked far too often.
Having something that makes you smile even while it sits in the driveway is a great thing.

Good to hear you are enjoying the Troopie and I am looking forward to some pics of how you are setting up the inside to make it your own. I think Troopies are the perfect 2 person setup with a ton of space in a compact package.
Bummer to hear about the Donaldson but you PNW people have some serious trees & brush around there.

Keep us posted and there is no such thing as too many pics

You should've driven that thing back down here to Florida!! I could've given her a good foster home. :victory:
