78 Series Troop Carrier upgrade kit

The LC78 Troop Carrier roofline sits higher and longer than a standard 70 Series, so it never had a console built to fit it. This URNIETA kit is sized to the Troopy overhead area, with a switch panel pocket, UHF headunit mount and accessory channel that drop straight in.

01
Design Notes

Built for the Troopy roofline.

The 78 Series Troop Carrier roofline sits higher and runs longer than the cab or wagon variants, so a standard Toyota console doesn't fit it. The URNIETA kit is its own part, engineered for the Troopy overhead area, not a 70 Series console adapted with workarounds.

The result is a finished bay that looks factory. The cavity is sized to the Troopy roofline, the switch panel pocket and UHF headunit mount drop in with nothing cut or shimmed, and the accessory channel takes extra gauges alongside whatever switch gear you're running.

Installation replaces the factory headlining around the rear-view mirror area.

02

What the kit delivers.

Every part is designed to work together as one finished overhead unit, not a collection of separate brackets and panels.
Feature01

TROOPY-SPECIFIC CAVITY

The console is dimensioned for the 78 Series Troop Carrier roofline, not adapted from a shorter cab or wagon part. Everything fits flush, nothing modified.

Feature02

SWITCH PANEL POCKET

A dedicated recessed cavity keeps your switch panel tidy and at a natural reach angle for driver and co-driver.

Feature03

UHF HEADUNIT MOUNT

An integrated mount positions your UHF headunit overhead, freeing up dash and centre-console space for other controls.

03

Trim removal, basic hand tools
01

REMOVE FACTORY HEADLINING

Drop the factory headlining panel around the rear-view mirror area to expose the overhead mounting points.

02

POSITION THE CONSOLE

Offer the URNIETA console up to the roofline and align it to the existing mounting locations.

03

SECURE AND ROUTE WIRING

Fasten the console in place and route wiring for the integrated map and cargo lighting to your vehicle's electrical system.

04

FIT ACCESSORIES

Fit your switch panel, UHF headunit and any gauges into the dedicated cavities and channel.

05

UHF radio inserts.

The console comes with UHF radio inserts cut for different radios, or you can leave the opening open. No radio included. The openings are the same on every URNIETA roof console, so the inserts interchange. Measure your radio's control head against these before you order.
