Just an FYI - I had 315/75r17 load range C on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler. Got 28,000 miles out of them. Was frustrated with the poor tread life. The kicker - I learned that they have a 50,000 mile warranty. Got my second set for $425 installed. Might be worth investigating.
This was shot over 10 years ago. As I recall the bikes weight was not an issue. The issue was not being able to get to the back of the Jeep without removing the bike. That was a fun bike!
Depending on the year of your Jeep you might need to remove the stock side plastic. When you do this you will have exposed metal and a lack of carpet on Jeeps 2011-newer. The side cubbies will cover this bare metal/unfinished look. If you have a 2007-2010 your fully carpeted fenders will look...
Where are you located in Southern California?
Seller responded with Santa Monica. I am going to pass because of the drive. Someone is going to get a nice box.
Check the cradle(plastic U shaped part holding the tire carrier arm to the tailgate) and make sure it is centered when closing the door. Also check that there is proper tension on the tire carrier. If this doesn’t make the noise disappear check the bolts holding the tire carrier to the frame...
I live in San Diego. So I went to Ursa Minor and took a templet of the lifting mechanism. Came home, drilled out the L track with the correct hole spacing and then returned to Ursa Minor. Kris installed it prior to me picking up the top. Ursa Minor uses an overhead hoist to support the top...
I drilled through the Mac’s Custom Tie Down VersaTie L Track and mounted it copying the existing bolt holes from the lifting mechanism. Definitely a little more work, but the results are nice and clean.
Whoops, your findings are correct. On the phone Brian explained the frame as being 2 C channels. These C channels create the super strong frame that appears to look like a box. I managed to find this photo that shows the rear of the Goose Gear truck.
Cool Thread.
I gave Brian(Goose Gear) a call regarding the 50Ten camper. His truck is not a chassis cab. The rear appears to be boxed using 2 C channels(edited). The 50Ten is attached directly to the frame. There is no 3 point pivot or other means to allow for twist. He has added custom...
Mac’s Custom Tie Downs sells VersaTie track that I used down the sides of the Ursa Minor. Then I simple use 1”x2” - 52” rectangular aluminum for the cross members.
A lot more photographs of my Jeep are at my Instagram account linked in my signature.
I remove all 8 bolts holding the Ursa Minor Camper to the Jeep. Then I lifted a front corner and slid a pool noodle between the roll bar and the Ursa Minor. Or you could use a piece of 4x4(same location) to prop the camper while working on the switch panel. Do this on both sides and you...
Made a few changes - AEV Snorkel, RhinoRack Batwing Compact, and upgraded from the 10 year old La Paz lights to the New Baja Designs LP9. Jeep Life = Never Done. ?
Rhino Rack Batwing Compact fits just fine using the 3 rearward awning/Ursa Minor brackets. With the Compact there is no need to move the front latches. I am using a Force Protection Gear Field Blanket as a side wall in the photograph.
