Jim's Overlaner

Jim Cross loves camping, bicycling, and Toyota's. His overlander set up combines the best of those worlds.



The engine behind his rig is a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It pulls a 2016 5x8 Hiker Trailer. A side mount secures a first generation Surly Karate Monkey when parked. The Hiker Trailer includes a 6.5x8-foot ARB Touring Awning, a La Crosse Technology weather station, and an outside propane stove.

The 5x8 Hiker Trailer has been a real conversation piece at Palmetto State Park. One person in a teardrop trailer was surprised they didn't have the smallest trailer in the park. While in Palmetto State Park, Jim is testing out the trailer to prepare for a trip from Big Bend National Park to Montana, and many points in between.
