1985 12H-T swapped HJ75 Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy w/ Trakka pop-top conversion.
This vehicle was nearly entirely self-converted. Over the course of three years, we taught ourselves everything from sewing to welding in order to prepare our Troopy, Jambo, to take on the Pan-American highway. We wanted a fully mechanical vehicle that could be fixed anywhere in the world with simple tools and that is exactly what we got.

How did we get here?
We're Cody and Olivia, an American couple from Oregon, who found a love for 4x4 driving and camping after we purchased a 3rd gen Toyota 4Runner. After exploring much of the American west in our 4Runner, we found our dream overland rig, a 1985 HJ75 Toyota Landcruiser Troopy, in Bend, Oregon. We plunged head first into fixing up and building out the Troopy with a lot of misadventures along the way. Finally in 2022, we realized we had an opportunity to live our dream of full-time overland travel. We quit our jobs, sold our house and all of our belongings, and set out on the road trip of a lifetime following the Pan-American Highway south to Ushuaia, Argentina.
