Suzuki Jimny is one of the most popular off-roaders on the planet which is why something like a pop-top makes a lot of sense.
A Suzuki Jimny with a pop-top camper layout might just be the most important thing needed to let yourself relish the off-roading adventure. Overlanding is a phenomenon which has become mighty successful and widespread in the last few years. Many vloggers perform such activities which create curiosity among regular folks to try something similar. That is the reason why aftermarket car modification houses have developed provisions to retrofit the camping equipment of regular cars. Let us take a look at the details of this latest case.
Suzuki Jimny Pop-Top Camper Concept
At the ongoing Tokyo Camping Car Show, this unique concept of the Suzuki Jimny with a pop-top camper iteration has been revealed. It is created by a Japanese company, White House Camper. This camping setup gets an electric operation which allows two adults to sleep comfortably. This Jimny XL pop-top camper roof conversion opens and closes electronically, which saves a lot of time and efforts for the users. In fact, prior to the unveiling, the company even showcased detailed renderings with the exterior camper fitted on the roof.
Note that there is also other options in the market which require the roof to be cut to fit a modified assembly. But with the Pop-Top setup from White House Camper, the height of the Jimny has been increased to 2,815 mm. That is around 1 m taller than the standard Jimny. This ensures that there is adequate space for two people to rest in the tent during long journeys. What will be interesting to see is whether this roof conversion will be sold in Japan initially, and then in the other international markets or not.
Our View

The culture of work-from-home or anywhere has become immensely prominent in the last few years. Hence, people often travel on adventurous journeys in their off-roading SUVs and love to have a provision for accommodation. That is where overlanding equipment becomes necessary to offer peace of mind. Let us see if we get something like this from the factory anytime soon.
