Looking to add/build a Camper onto my 1973 CJ5.

I assume you've seen Suzuki Samurai Custom Camper Build, right?

Missed that awesome build. Just goes to show you what can be packed into a small camper. Not much smaller than my Flippac on a 5' bed.

Scratch that. I'm having trouble with the points again. Ive decided I'm just going to purchase the converter for the points and install it next week.

A CJ-5 is really too small, too short a wheelbase (low weight capacity) to handle a camper safely on the hwy.

Maybe just take out the front seat and sleep in the back?

I want to use my CJ5 as my main vehicle when I travel but its about to small to pull anything but a small popup or teardrop camper. Plus I would rather just drive the jeep and not tow anything.

Ive seen this before but they are asking a small fortune for theirs.

This is my current jeep.

It may be small but I love the look of it and the top pops up. Does anyone here know of a similar camper top that will fit for a small truck that I could possibly fit on there?

Thanks

Donkey Jaw out

I may have the camper on the green jeep for sale in the future if you are still interested I have it on may dads 1970 cj5 Thanks 4 wheel steer GPW

that's pretty wild. with the rollbar & braces, things are going to be cozy.

Silly.

I think an oz-tent or other "turbo tent" and a well thought out storage area or a small trailer with a RTT is a much better solution and will actually get you out exploring in the near future.

Just my .02, brother.
