Question Response
Where did the name Baby Troupe come from The name Baby Troupe came about not long after I bought this LJ70.

One of my mates from the club made comment that it looked like a baby troop carrier.

I initially treated the comment as jest, but after a number of other people made similar comment, I decided to adopt the name for the truck.

As I was concerned that someone else may already be using a similar name for some other purpose, I deliberately mis-spelled troopy to be troupe.

What is a Hopper Stopper

A Hopper Stopper is a device I purchased to help prevent collision with Kangaroos.
Apparently it emits a high pitched whistle which helps alert these animals to the approaching vehicle.

It must be working, as I have not hit one yet.

Plans for the fold down table in the back door

I don't actually have any formal plans for this, as it was made from some scrap ply & was cut to size as I made it. What I will do is list the steps though.

1. Remove door interior panel.

2. Cut a piece of ply to fit the interior of the door

3. Measure 4 one inch thick pieces of ply for the sides, bottom & top

4. Position them on ply interior, make sure they are square & do not hit anything when door is closed.

Glue & screw them in place

Fit a piece inside the 2 sides & to the bottom piece to hold cutlery, teabags, sugar portions & also insert some spaces (all will have to be cut to size)

Custom cut a piece of ply to be used as a door / table

Fit to bottom of unit using a piano hinge or some quality hinges.

Fit some light weight chain to hold the table fairly flat when open.

Fit gate latch to top to hold closed when not in use.
