That has to be SO top heavy!
I would imagine it has gone from off road machine to campground cruizer
I don't think it is top heavier than my JK with the Maggiolina RTT, or any other Jeep, Land Cruiser or Land Rover with a fully loaded roof rack. And I don't think it wants to be an off-road machine to conquer the Rubicon with but a capable camper you can safely travel Baja. Like a Power Wagon with a Four Wheel Camper or a Sportsmobile.
I watched it pull into the expo, the back was squatted almost to the point the tires were rubbing the flare. Wonder why as it looks normal in these pics.
It's not just the weight of the camper, it's also water, fuel, provisions, gear, spares etc. I do agree, the stock suspension might not be up to the task and will need some serious upgrades.
I don't get the point. Just buy a truck with a slide-in and tow your 2-door JK behind you on an aluminum trailer. Honestly, I think the 4-door Wranglers are too much. Four people fit just fine in my 2-door.
It all depends of your idea of "overlanding". If you like to work off a base camp and go trail riding with your Jeep from there, truck with camper and towing the Jeep sure is an option. If you want to drive down Baja, ferry over to Mexico mainland, drive down to Guatemala, Belize and back up through Mexico, I definitely would not want to do it in a swb Wrangler or a truck camper pulling a Jeep.
This Phoenix Camper Rubicon or a Sportsmobile would be my kind of retirement plan.
