Thread: CAMPTEQ's 80 Series Land Cruiser pop top Prototype

  1. #1

    Default CAMPTEQ's 80 Series Land Cruiser pop top Prototype

    Set to launch at Overland Expo May18-20

    Here is a little preview after a couple days testing along the Kokopelli trail last week
    IMG_4201.jpg

    Removable pop top conversion for 80 Series Land Cruisers (91-97)

    Accessible through factory sunroof, aftermarket rear sunroof, roof cut away, and from the exterior of the tent.

    4 solid rain gutter mounting clamps mounts the hinge top to the well over built Toyota Land Cruiser chassis

    Designed to be a low profile camper option with little to no extra wind drag, Lighter, larger roof loads like longboards keep a low appearance to help with drag.

    Comparable fuel economy with Westfalia 2wd, Syncro, and 2wd Sportsmobiles with much higher offroad capabilities

    Upper bed has similar dimensions to a Westfalia bed

    Designed and constructed in Colorado using recyclable 1/8" Aluminum in a solar powered facility by the most talented craftsman.

    Living rubber hinges are tested to 50,000 flexes and provide a weather tight front hinge

    Estimated material weight of less than 120lbs without cushions

    Outdura fabric on walls and cushions are soft to the touch and provide a mildew, rot and water resistant yet very quiet and comfortable sleeping area

    Many options will be available:

    Custom powder coating or color match paint finish

    Custom Fabric colors and prints

    Aircraft tie down tracks

    Solar panels and both internal and external lighting
    Official launch will be at Overland Expo May 18-20 in Flagstaff Arizona

    I will have price options comparable to a high quality rack and tent combo. I am still getting some things figured out

    Also, can you tell us more about your rear windows? They look like access panels that lift up.

    Finally is right! Good on you for developing it here! Now we don't have to be as jealous as we once were with all the cool German campers available for our rigs! We'll be at OVX and i would love to chat about this with you.
