    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    FS: Scipio awning and annex Selling my So Cal Teardrops Scipio awning and its three-wall annex. Similar to the Hannibal awning, it currently rides on my Ursa Minor top and does not need support poles or guy lines. Used approximately half a dozen times. Purchased about two years ago for...

    Danner Mountain Light II - An on-going review

    I see the thread’s been slow the last couple of months, but I’ve worn Danner’s for 25+ years and rely on them daily for comfort and durability. I wear 11EEEE Acadias that don’t show up online. Give them a call, or have your boot store call them, and they might have wider sizes than normally...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Cool! Do you know when they started offering them? I don't recall them being available at all back when I got mine, but will check with John about adding them. What did they run?

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    The weight of the solar panel on mine requires a bit more effort to raise, and practically no effort to close, the roof, and I'm thinking the bungees could help inadvertent pinching of the tent before I can check all sides.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    So, after reading a review of the new Eezi-Awn Stealth RTT, I'm wondering if the J30 can be modified with similar quick-release bungees so it self-tucks, too. Anyone done this? Likewise, has anyone added support struts?

    JK expedition springs

    I really enjoy the aux. tank's extra range and ease of use. Yes, I lost the cubby when they installed the tank, but I never really used it anyway. The plate allows access to the second OEM fuel pump, which the computer just recognizes as the regular pump when I flip the switch. With your set-up...

    JK expedition springs

    That sounds pretty accurate. I went from a budget boost to this set-up, so I couldn't compare to my original height.

    JK expedition springs

    These are the numbers before I upgraded from my roof rack to the J30; other than the top being a bit lighter, everything else remains the same: Full aux. (20 @ 6#) and main tanks (42.5 @ 6#) full, water tank (10.6 @ 8.35 = 88.51) empty, tent and camping gear, plus driver l/f 1400 r/f 1250...

    JK expedition springs

    I don't recall what they were when stock, but the bottom edges of the fenders are now 40.5" front/40" rear from street level at a fully-loaded weight of approx. 6400#. The set-up gives a comfortable ride without negatively affecting the off-roading I do.

    Scipio awning

    Originally wanting a Hannibal awning, but having no luck in finding one, I was very happy to find So Cal Teardrops' Scipio awning for my JK: The awning is 6' long, needs no poles or guy lines, and is made with very durable canvas. A three-wall annex of the same material is also...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Harnessing, hiding from, and replacing (sort of) the sun: Original choice was a Renogy 100w flexible panel, but it was recalled for a design issue that could lead to a fire: Upgraded to a Renogy 150w rigid panel for about the same cost I paid for the flexible one: Mounted the panel with...
