4xOverland Troopy, Modified.


Another collaboration video, this time again with Andrew St Pierre White and his 4xOverland Troopy.

You have been asking for this modified for some time now… Well here it is we made it happen and this is one hell of a cool setup. A setup that is the result of 32 years of 4 Wheel Driving.

Get the note pads out as we discuss this build and talk about 4wding and camping in general. 60mins of golden content, enjoy…
