1. Soundproofing Door Seal Kit

The cheapest meaningful comfort upgrade on a Troopy. At $87 to $137 from 70 Series Store, the Soundproofing Door Seal Kit replaces the factory pinch-weld rubber with a bulb-style seal, delivering up to 3.5 dB noise reduction at 110 km/h and dramatic dust ingress improvement. Do this on day one of ownership.

2. Drawer System

The single largest interior upgrade on any touring Troopy. The factory flat floor needs organisation, and a quality drawer system (Drifta, Outback Roamer, MSA) creates accessible compartments and the platform for the bed. Cost $2,500 to $6,000 fitted depending on professional or flat-pack.

3. Bed Platform

Sits on top of the drawer system and turns the Troopy into a self-contained sleeping space. DIY platforms $400 to $1,000 in materials; supplier-built $800 to $2,000. The slide-out front extension is the key feature on smaller-build Troopies.

4. Heavy Duty Floor Mats

Custom-moulded Mudtamer floor mats protect the factory carpet from water, mud, diesel and dust. Front-and-rear fit for the Troopy with raised edges that contain spills. Approximately $200 to $300 for a full set and saves the factory floor for the life of the vehicle.

5. Cup Holder Armrests Pro

70 Series Store's best-selling product. Mounts to the door card and adds a padded armrest plus integrated drink holder - both missing from the factory Troopy door cards. $197 fitted, no permanent modification, compounds across every drive.

6. Centre Console Armrest Lite

Fills the factory empty centre tunnel with a padded armrest, lockable storage and integrated cup holders. $247 from 70 Series Store, mounts to the factory tunnel without modification. Together with the Cup Holder Armrests Pro, the two are the highest-selling cabin upgrades.

7. Black Duck Seat Covers

Australian-made 12-ounce canvas covers protect the factory upholstery permanently. ADR 72/00 airbag-compatible on post-2016 models. $600 to $900 per set, last the working life of the vehicle.

8. Snorkel

Relocates the air intake to roof height for cleaner air, less dust ingestion and proper water-crossing capability. Quality options include Safari, Airflow, Stedi and ARB. $500 to $900 fitted depending on supplier.

9. Fridge Slide

Makes the 12V fridge usable in a Troopy build. Pulls out from the cargo area for external access when the bed is set up. Quality slides $400 to $1,200 depending on rated load.

10. Pop-Top Conversion

The apex Troopy upgrade. Transforms the cargo area into a standing-height camper with permanent bed. Mulgo, Alu-Cab Hercules, Headspace, Bonetti and Trakka offer factory-finish conversions $20,000 to $45,000 fitted.
