well . a little pop up. but hey. it is a blast
found her on ebay in Bardstown KY Bourbon capitol of the world.

did he makers mark tour of the distillery that was fun.
and camped at My old ky home state park for the night

killed about 5,000 locust.. secata. "sp" on the way home. they are juicy. !!

the camper is an 04 that has been used 4 times.. the kitchen stove still had the plastic on it. never used.. porta potty and yes.. A/C

pulled like a charm behind the FJ..

its not too heavy but has the electric brakes.. i put the controller on it and the brakes worked great.

used to camp and travel in a 34'Class A winney.. this is a step down but a heck of a lot of fun .!~

dead bugs

even got to parallel park it in downtown Huntington WV to eat at 5 Guys burgers.. YUMMMM

you learn to back up fast when you are driving downtown traffic.. LOL

Nice! We had a pop up a few years back...used the heck out of it.

I'm trying to figure out a way to mount my vintage 1973 Holiday Rambler 11.5 ft. camper on the back of the FJ but I suspect my F250HD 4x4 (with airbags, Ranchos) does a better job, albeit at half the gas mileage.

Dude that is one awesome pop up!!!! I grew up with grandparents that had a Cox pop up back in the day. Now that was in the very early 70s! I would love to get my hands on a pop up like yours now! That would be so much fun.

Hubby and I usually do the tent thing but that AC on the roof really appeals to me..... I know, I am middle aged but hey I am still ALOT of fun!

nice...looks a lot like my Coleman/Fleetwood Pioneer. The pop-ups are great to tow behind a FJ.

Pay no attention to the bottles in the photo. No alcohol was harmed in Moab!

Great looking pop up! Enjoy it.

BTW, those locust may be good fried...

cheers,

Congrats on the new camper! We just bought a new 32' travel trailer last summer to replace an ancient 75 pop up! Only bad thing w/the new camper is the FJ can't pull it.....(we had the camper before the FJ).....
