Nice idea and thinking outside the box. Before going too far down that road, I would load up the FJ with gear, typical people who travel, full tank of fuel and go get it weighed. Then compare weight to the GVWR of the rig. Then take your estimated weight of the camper, multiply by at least...
Yeah I hope so. So much more electronic stuff that could fail. Both of my Cherokees were fairly "old school" when compared and between the 10 years total I had them, never once left me stranded. :)
I do love the Locker bypass harness. Being able to use the locker in 2WD really makes using 4WD...
That is looking great! Would you have any interest in renting out the install tool? I could see using this construction method but for a one time build, hard to justify the cost.
Thanks! Yeah, definitely happy with the 5100's in the rear. Been a fun vehicle and though aftermarket support isn't like Jeep or Toyota, there is everything I could want out there for it. Really wish I would have gotten back into the X-world sooner. Been a nice upgrade from our Cherokee...
Got out for a little day trip to do a little exploring and get shots with my drone. Happy with how the X is riding with the rear 5100's installed.
Here's the video
Yep, that is who/where I bought my original Kamparoo from. I happened to get one of the Australian built ones that had been traded in. It was nicer than the Canadian built ones, as it had the slide out kitchen and access door for the under bed area on the driver side.
The current ones are not...
Bummer about the vent being plugged and the issues from it. You should be able to get a brass screen vent to put on the outside part of the line. Would allow it to vent but not let bugs in.
Yeah, most everything I find in North America doesn't have standing room or if they do, they weigh a lot and are huge. Kamparoo was only 1500 lbs. loaded.
Hi all,
We used to own a Kamparoo clam shell style camper and overall enjoyed it. At one time Adventure Trailers (AT) used to build one and a few other company (many in Australia) but it seems they have gone away. We liked the small, closed footprint, lightweight and hard floor/full standing...
Just a quick update. After adding some gear and the roof items, even though the measurements showed the rear was at stock ride height, when driving I could feel the back bottom out on the new Timbern SES stops. The SES stops are longer than stock (as they are designed to engage when you put...
Other than the A/C and RTT, this is exactly what I want! Oh... and the price.
Looked at one of these in person and if anyone is on the fence, this is one of the best designed teardrops on the market.
I was just at Poptop Overland talking to them about their flatbeds. They have a shop that is doing those for them and can basically set it up anyway I wanted it. I would definitely talk to them.
