    Maranda Slide In / Just Cut a Hole in the Roof for a Vent

    Thanks Tony! I stumbled across your build thread this morning after some additional searching. If you would not mind, I do have one question. These SpaceKaps supposedly have insulated, double-walled shells. Can you comment on their insulation? Is it a foam sandwich? Just reflectix?

    Maranda Slide In / Just Cut a Hole in the Roof for a Vent

    I'm very interested in doing something similar myself. Which vendor did you order from (Maranda, SpaceKap, Tufport, etc.) in the end? How have things turned out?

    Time to start a 'Riot! 2015 Jeep Patriot sport build.

    Huh, I was able to order the covers directly for the patriot as an option. I like my powerhouse (also got it on sale), but I would agree goal zero would be better particularly if you are tying in solar. As for my RTT, I have an Autohome Columbus Small XL (I'm 6'2" so extra long was mandatory...

    Time to start a 'Riot! 2015 Jeep Patriot sport build.

    Sure thing. Here are the seat covers: https://www.carid.com/coverking/cordura-ballistic-custom-seat-covers.html I have really enjoyed them. They look good, still feel comfortable, and can take a lot of abuse to protect the upholstery The powerhouse has been great to keep things charged over...

    SOLD - 2012 Jeep Patriot Latitude Trail Rated + Autohome Columbus XL + Rhino Rack + Hatch Ladder 35k mi

    Well there you go! Definitely, see if they made plans and dimensions for it. If they cannot help and you can do the fab yourself, I can post some closeups of the hatch ladder.

    Time to start a 'Riot! 2015 Jeep Patriot sport build.

    Glad to see there are folks out there showing the Pat(riot) some love. I have really enjoyed mine a lot but am upgrading to full size truck camper in the near future. My rig is up for sale on here...

    SOLD - 2012 Jeep Patriot Latitude Trail Rated + Autohome Columbus XL + Rhino Rack + Hatch Ladder 35k mi

    Thanks! It has really served me well. To any continued onlookers, I just had the 30k mile maintence completed today and replaced the original Wrangler SRA tires with Yokohama Geolanders which are very nice. I’m in no particular hurry to sell this Summer now, but I have decided on my next rig...

    Does Geocar export to the US or have any distributors? Also, what is the general pricing?

    2018 Your Pick: Expedition Base Vehicle Recommendations

    Thanks everyone. I am definitely seeing a truck camper theme developing. Out of the currently pickup truck offerings, what do folks like for flatbed conversion options, solid payload, good pricing? I'm thinking of mounting a total composites shell on a flatbed pickup truck. Seems like the...

    2019 Fuso FG Gas Truck 4x4 Option?

    Ahh, that is quite a gotcha there. I'll skip this option if it would require a further aftermarket 4x4 conversion. Thanks for saving me a lot of time!

    2019 Fuso FG Gas Truck 4x4 Option?

    Wow...that does not exactly inspire confidence. So you wouldn't recommend just buying one and dropping a prefab 13' Total Composites box on the back at the moment, lol? I'm not planning on "pushing the limit" offroad, but a big comfortable 4x4 camper. It does sounds like 4x4 is an option...

    2019 Fuso FG Gas Truck 4x4 Option?

    I've been on the fence about getting a FUSO as the base vehicle for my new expedition camper (mostly due to post-2007 diesel emissions system problem and transmission issues). Yesterday, I found out that they are making a gas engine version now for the 2019 model year which is also supposed be...

    Hello All- I have spent a great deal of time and research this past year looking at all the available options in the U.S. market for a suitable platform for a small and reasonably capable expedition camper with following features: 1. Reliability, ease of finding maintenance, and readily...

    Open Floor Plan Ursa Minor J30 Build - 2015 JKU

    Thanks Dotar! By "more work", do you mean one cannot simply unbolt it now? Unlike the initial poster, I am not worried about keeping easy compatibility with the factory roof.

    Open Floor Plan Ursa Minor J30 Build - 2015 JKU

    Just to let folks know, I spoke with rock hard 4x4, and they said they will be starting R&D on JL cage parts sometime this summer if any one want to try to replicate this setup on a JL.

    Open Floor Plan Ursa Minor J30 Build - 2015 JKU

    I have heard that Ursa Minor are currently taking preorders for August 2018 deliveries for the JL I think. Very nice piece of kit, but I will be going custom on the camper. I currently run an Autohome Columbus with a rear mounted hatch ladder which would feel very similar to an Ursa Minor...

    Open Floor Plan Ursa Minor J30 Build - 2015 JKU

    I'm planning on doing a similar camper build on an unlimited myself. Out of curiosity, does anyone here know if the rear crossbar can be similarly unbolted on the new JL? I might be content to just leave the brackets on to avoid voiding the warranty and use the rockhard 3rd row sport bar...

    *SOLD* 1975 Volvo C303

    If I was handy enough to service these myself and didn't mind giving up modern safety features, what a dream machine and out here in CA to boot! Good luck on your sale and fair price!
