These jeeps are reletively easy for us to fit, compared to the Land Rover Discovery, new 4 Runner, XJ, or Land Cruiser FJ62.
No cutting needed on the JK! The pictures shown are of a pre-fitting, before we carefully remove the hard or soft top. The camper bolts on using the original jeep nut plates and roof clamps. We are building one right now, that will be installed in January. I will sure catch more pix of that one, and post them.
Thanks for the questions and interest.

Thanks for putting those photos of the Jeep up. And +2 on more interior photos. I'd be really interested to see how the camper shell came together with the JK and to get a feel for how the inside works out.

'07 Jeep JKU Rubicon - Habitat #008 coming soon.....no wait...Installed!
Ok, finally I ended up at the computer, WITH the camera, AND the cord... so here's the story of "Li'l One" installation:
Oh, and first an appology.... I mentioned earlier that this unit was going to be carried by a Frontier "Crew Cab" and I miss-spoke, it is actually going on a "King Cab." So, just in case anyone was looking forward to pics of one of our units on a Frontier king cab, I have posted a photo of an old school Phoenix on a short bed Frontier King Cab.
It all starts early in the morning Wednesday, it's about 20 crisp degrees here in Denver, and the Sun isn't quite up yet, but some light is starting to glow. I use the cordless drill and raise "Li'l One" up high on the jacks so the Frontier can slip undernieth, when the time comes. The unit has been in testing/camping mode for about a week, so the water and L.P. tanks are full, the furnace is hot, and the refrigerator is cold. The roof has been raised and lowered 100+ times, and everything is clean and tidy. But, I look it over just one more time (once the sun shines on the lot, that is). I've done this thousands of times, but it's still a great feeling to see all the hard work materialize and stand proud in the morning Sunlight... We're ready.

The excited customers show up late morning, after a comfortable night's rest in a near by hotel, and they are beaming! I load the camper and secure it on their truck in record time while they watch and talk, then we do the standard instructional walk through. They are heading for the hills, the highway, or the beach before noon!!

We (my wife and I) have implemented some really exciting Phoenix exclusive innovations lately (kind of secret) but they will all be part of 2011 units. In other words all new orders from here on out!

OK you have my undivided attention. Can't wait to see it....
I'm the proud (third) owner of a 1999 Phoenix camper. Y'all do nice work!
