    130 poptop camper build

    After having no response form a number of "professional" builders I am seriously considering DIY 130 POPTOP build.

    Any thoughts, suggestions, advice greatly appreciated.

    yeh I have watched this rebuild quite a few times - I like the idea of keeping it dual cab - but walk through.

    What state are you in?
    If you go ahead with the build.
    Be interested in buying your tray.

    Have you considered a 130 station wagon conversion using the rear of a 110 or series vehicle? One example is here: 130 Station Wagon with side fold pop top build

    I was considering this option for my 130 but decided that a slide-on pop-top camper would be much more practical for the 11 months of the year I'm not camping! (I haven't found a value-for-money (ie, cheap) option yet and so might be buying a MIG welder for Christmas...)

    I have tried with no response! He is one of non responsive "professionals" I discussed at the beginning of this thread.
