CJ-5 Hard Sided Camper

[Sleeping Dog]

Came across this image of an ad for a factory option camper. Not familiar with this, if it really existed and isn't simply a well done Photo-shop.

Yes it really existed.

If I remember correctly, theres only 5 or 6 left in existence. Very cool, but I'd be scared to death to actually use one!

Is that a tag-axle?

Here’s a walkthrough of one

That is very neat and very weird. He's done some amazing work but I gotta question the battery box up top. Tons of weight way up there! Seems like a very bad idea in already bouncy vehicle and there is great space low under the dinette that could've been used.

One of the true unicorns of the Jeep world.

What I don’t like is knowing how narrow a CJ5 is, that thing is way too tall. It would be sketchy to drive any kind of distance.

love the two kids looking out the camper window while offroading.. only the strong lucky survive
