Man I am really trying very hard to not have serious lust for one of these things. We've got the camper, but I'm starting to do more solo little bike trips and taking the camper really seems kinda silly. Plus I like the idea of pulling into a rest stop and just popping it up and sleeping for a bit and then heading out- no muss no fuss. Ah well, I'll drool for a while longer before I decide to get one...

Well . . . . did you get it? Pictures, please. I have to wait until March.

Can't wait to see a J30 in anvil! Did you have the whole top painted or just the top of the popup? Been struggling to decide what would look better...

Great color choice!
Looks like there have been changes...
Your hinge assembly looks like it is stainless vs painted black.
It looks like the top raised up higher (could be an illusion but I'm very jealous if that's true).
And there are indentations for an awning maybe on the sides?

Well now I want a new one for the height. Lol
Wiant I don't know if there is a weight limit? But I general I'd say if you fit it's probably okay. A large couple isn't going to get up there so well anyway.

Updates: 2014 Ursa Minor Vehicles J30
As sharp eyes have noticed, we are shipping the newest version of the J30! We have incorporated both feedback from customers and our own experiences building, installing and camping. I'll post a more details and photos when we get a finished unit on the company Jeep, but the here are the basics:
- Increased headroom, going from about 31" on the earlier generation to 42" at the rear - enough room to sit up inside easily, and creating more standing room in the access way.
- More stainless steel components. Most of our fasteners have always been stainless, a carry over from our boat building origins, but we now run the scissor hinges in stainless too.
- Integrated pads on both sides of the shell which make it easy to fabricate brackets for things like awnings, ladders and lifting points.
Not as visible...
- New cleaner profile where the tent mounts
- More space when closed, about 1" or so at the rear
- New options for outlets/switches in the sleeping area
- Blue Sea power bus, ties all power into one block in the camper which can be easily added on to by owners
- Any number of general improvements in how we build/fabricate them.

Amy - it's a little taller, so yes there is more area exposed but it's unlikely to be significant. In a side blow, the vehicle tends to rock but that was true in the previous version as well.

Good stuff! Any chance the mounting pads for awnings, etc will be available on the JK Habitat shell?
