It was all interesting stuff. I was just trying to get a feel for the overhang trade off as I'm sketching a design right now and pondering the aerodynamic trade off verse bed width. My ideal goal was for a queen width at 60" but to avoid crossing the continued plane of the windshield something ~54" is probably all that will fit. That's still a decent width bed for comfort, just not extra roomy, and thus the debate rages on in my head. :coffeedrink:

Rob - do you have any pictures of your LJ Pulse model? I perused the website but did not find any. I have an '05 LJ Rubicon. These are beyond our budget right now, but I am curious as to how one would look on the LJ.

closest to LJ photos
Hi Jim,
I have not kept any photos of the LJ PULSE units. Other than being a little shorter, it looks and works just about exactly the same as the JK size though, the walk through is the same, the shape is the same, the equipment is even the same. I did not used to be very good at snapping shots of every custom project. I can tell you that the first one we built this size was made for a CJ5, then we moved on to the rest of the jeep models. I did find a photo of this little guy though....

Neat shot of the Jeepster. Thanks Rob. I get the concept, just was looking to find a direct match to my LJ.

I've really enjoyed this thread and all the discussion about the smaller 4x4s and Rob"s great PULSE idea. For those of you with larger 4x4s I've attached some pics of my Ford Raptor with one of the Phoenix Coyote campers on it. Custom designed and custom built it satifies my need for the light off roading that I do and weighs only 1120 pounds. Stinger 202

Action!
Thank you for posting these great photos Stinger....
I've been looking forward to seeing some ACTION shots of our campers!
Last year we had a calendar photo contest, and it was wonderful to see all of you out there having fun with your custom Phoenix's. Here are the winners that landed in the 2011 Phoenix Pop Up Calendar...
The Calendar turned out beautiful, thanks to all of these GREAT photos, supplied by our awesome camper owners.... Everyone, be sending in your best ACTION shots, so you can be featured in the 2012 calendar!!

February... big month!
February is REALLY shaping up!
First, a week from Monday we'll install a nice simple, light weight shell model on a Tacoma (Dinette, bed, and countertop only). Should come out about 500 lbs or so..
Next, a ten foot unit for an F350 long bed crew cab. Hot water, shower, cassette toilet, drop screen DVD player, extra low profile PULSE.
Then, some time this month we should be installing a unit we finished a while back and are storing for an Arizina customer (he's waiting for the snow to stop falling, we'll see about that). This unit is custom made for his Chevy 2500 long bed UTILITY BODY. It's going to be really cool.
Also, we are designing a very specail unit for a gentleman's Ford SprotTrac. he's making a final decission for whether he wants to keep a cab over, or go with our ultra ultra light and no wind resistance non-cab over design. There's benefits to both, so we'll see what he comes up with.
Finally, by the end of the month we will install a custom painted extra low profile PULSE on a brand new SVT Raptor Crew Cab. The customer ordered his truck and camper together, through his Ford Dealership, so it will be installed by us, then delivered to the customer as a complete package!
Our drop screen DVD player:
Can you guess the movie?
Watch for more photos, they're comming!

Hi Murryconst,
Yes! We can build it just flush to the top of the cab, or get a little more "creative."

Tacoma Shell
This morning we installed a nice little custom Tacoma Shell Model.
This gentleman from Montana needed some special features
1. To be able to fit his camper in his low garage
2. Keep his tailgate back up camera
3. No frig furnace stove etc..
4. Plus he wanted to keep as much upen space, counterspace, and storage as possible.
I was just so glad to see that his Tacoma was not another silver colored one! We have done so many silvers in a row.... Oh, if you have a silver Tacoma, no problem, happy to fit a nice camper for you!
Here's the special fold down shelf up:

View fromt the back with tailgate closed:
Side view, heading for the highway!

Shell pop up models
Hi whybother,
We build a LOT of shells (for every size and brand truck). They start at about 500 lbs and a really really basic shell can cost as little as $6990. Personally, I would go for the upgraded PHOENIX shell, with a number of improvements, but it's all up to you! I would be happy to e-mail you a nice set of shell breakdown sheets, they show the basic basic, all the way up to our fully equipped P.U.L.S.E. units, and everything in-between. Just give me a call or e-mail, so I can get your contact info, without throwing it out there to everyone here on the site and beyond.
My contact info is cari@coyoterv.biz or (303) 286-3921
