Turn Your Troopy Into the Ultimate Camper.
The Toyota LandCruiser Troop Carrier is the undisputed king of bush camping. But if you sleep in the back, you know the struggle: close the windows, and it becomes a sauna; open them, and the mosquitoes eat you alive.
Snap Shades solve this problem instantly. Designed to fit perfectly over the metal frames of your rear sliding windows, they allow you to keep the glass open for cross-flow ventilation while keeping insects out and privacy high.
Unlike generic DIY flyscreens that require velcro or tape, Snap Shades use embedded smart magnets to snap securely onto the window frame. They are robust, rattle-free, and essential for any Troopy setup.
Why Every Troopy Needs These:
- Sleep Comfort (Ventilation): The absolute best upgrade for sleeping in your vehicle. Roll the sliding windows open to let in the cool night breeze, while the fine mesh keeps even the smallest midges and mosquitoes out.
- Privacy for Camping: The perforated mesh acts as a one-way vision screen. You can see out to check the campsite, but people walking by can't see you or your gear inside.
- Keep Your Fridge Cool: The massive side glass on a Troopy lets in huge amounts of heat. Snap Shades block ~84% of UVA/UVB rays, significantly lowering the cabin temperature and helping your fridge run more efficiently.
- Off-Road Ready: Designed for Australian conditions, the magnetic frame holds tight even on severe corrugations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these shades compatible with both the 75 and 78 Series Troop Carriers?
Yes. The "Troopy" has maintained a very consistent body and door geometry across the 75 and 78 Series generations. These shades are designed to accommodate the front door layout shared across these models, ensuring a precise fit whether you are driving an early classic 75 Series or the latest 78 Series build.
How do these shades help with condensation in a Troop Carrier sleeping setup?
Troop Carriers are notorious for building up interior condensation overnight, especially when sleeping inside. By allowing you to leave your front windows rolled down while the mesh shades are attached, you facilitate critical cross-ventilation. This airflow helps expel moist air and reduces morning window fogging, all while keeping out mosquitoes and sandflies.
Do these shades provide enough privacy for stealth camping in a Troopy?
The rear cargo window shades use a premium, high-density mesh that is excellent for privacy. From the outside, it is very difficult for passersby to see into the cabin during the day, which gives you the peace of mind needed for stealth camping or parking in public areas, without blocking your ability to see out from the inside.
Can I leave these shades on while driving on dusty outback tracks?
Yes, our magnetic mounting system is designed to withstand the vibration and wind resistance encountered at highway speeds and on corrugated dirt roads. Because they mount to the door frame rather than the glass, they won't blow off like suction-cup versions, and they act as an additional filter against large dust particles when you have the windows cracked for fresh air.
Does the kit include coverage for all Troopy windows, including the rear barn doors?
Yes, we recognize the Troop Carrier’s unique window layout. Our kit provides a comprehensive solution for the front driver and passenger doors, the side sliding or fixed cabin windows, and the rear barn door windows. This full-vehicle coverage is essential for controlling the intense heat soak often experienced in the large Troopy cabin.
