    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Congrats on the orders! Personally I use side mirrors a lot, and don't miss those rear windows a bit. The visibility out of the rear of the jk (especially with the 35" spare) isn't great anyway, and the rear seat head rests are very big. I prefer to keep things out of sight more and this...

    EarthRoamer XV-JP "Northwest Edition"

    I wish I wasn't going to be in Louisiana working! I'd still like to meet up some time and check out a few things on that Jeep of yours, specifically the fox wing awning. Finally installed my new Ursa Minor j30 pop-up on my 2012 rubicon. My interior build is going to have to be relative simple...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    A girl named Anne Marie hunted me down in NW Portland today to check out the Jeep after seeing my wife and I drive by. Have to appreciate the enthusiasm! We thought there was a ticket on the windshield when we walked up! I know I have hunted down others before to check out rigs. She said...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I have a little creaking noise from the drivers side b pillar over bumps. I loosened the bolt a bolt, creaked like crazy. Tightened a bit more, cracked rarely but loud when it did. I found a middle ground that seems to be mostly quiet. I removed the bolt, picked it up, made sure the rubber...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    From the top of the padding to the roof, in the very back, roughly 31". 13" in the very front. I'm 6', and I can sit in the back of the jeep with my legs down with my head ducked, not really ideal for sitting. However my wife, at 5'4" with terrible posture, can sit there comfortably. In the...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Oh and, as for the garage.... The jeep just barely doesn't fit. I tried to squeak in and the Thule rails just touched. I think once I get the front and rear bumpers that I want, it will squeak inside. For now I'll air down the tires and pull it in when I leave town for work. I have an AEV...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Thanks man! I posted a couple more pictures in the thread that cobblecrazy started.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Finally got mine! Once I finally committed and sent a deposit, John was very quick to build it and get it shipped up to Portland! Love it so far. We "camped" in the driveway last night as it was a little chilly and rainy, worked out great. No water inside, and it stayed very warm. Extremely...

    What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

    Technically it was yesterday, but I installed out new Ursa Minor J30 top. Love it so far! We slept in the driveway last night to test it out.

    Glad it all got worked out! I picked up and installed my j30 this afternoon so I've been tooling around with it. It's been raining pretty steady all day so I may even driveway camp to see if any rain comes in. Unless the fabric just soaks up the water I don't see anywhere obvious where it's...

    Hey Dirk, I see that AT didnt remove the top. Did they unbolt the aluminum channel that the tent top slides into and place a seal underneath the aluminum? Hope you got everything squared away after the clean up, you have a great setup! Kb7our, Thanks again for the info and pictures. You...

    Fair enough, that's the kind of review I was looking for. Thanks! Sounds like it may be worth coughing up the money for the AT rack then.

    Upper wall material/brand name?

    Call the manufacturers and see if they will help.

    Habitat Owner's Thread

    I would like to know about the third brake light as well. Is it an enclosure the you picked up somewhere? My J30 should be here next week and I'm playing with ideas for the brake light. I relocated mine behind the spare but the trasharoo bag covers it. And what are your thoughts on the A/T...

    My White JKU Expedition Build

    That doesn't sound unreasonable. I could justify that I think, I really liked the spray in with my buddy's TJ as well but line-x should be a lot more durable. I think once I modify some other things down the road I might reconsider doing this, as well as having a custom drawer setup and some...

    King Shock upgrade

    I would have to think a good set of matched springs and shocks would do better for you as well. I'll probably be in reno next September with my jeep if you wanted to compare rides, but I'm sure you want to change it up before summer. But if you're not wanting to spend a few more bucks, the...

    King Shock upgrade

    I have never run the ranchos. I lot of truck camper guys like them because the loads they carry vary by a huge amount, but a lot of people don't seem to like them for off road use. I'm very happy with my AEV springs and bilstein shocks, but the shocks are also valved specifically for AEV and...

    Jeep Cargo Weight

    That's the one. I've upgraded most all of my steering gear up front as well which has helped tremendously, both in handling and emptying my wallet... AEV also has a 2.5" lift. Their suspensions are designed for heavier loads and really work well in a variety of conditions. It's not so much a...

    Jeep Cargo Weight

    Get a better suspension. I have had my JKRU loaded up with four people, cargo to the roof and a hitch rack with a big cooler and it still handled great. Bumpers and more are coming soon. I'm running an AEV 3.5" suspension lift which comes with progressive springs and bilstein tuned shocks...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I don't have mine yet so take it with a grain of salt. My understanding is the rear window is standard with no wiper. I believe the holes are in the glass but plugged. I'm not sure if you can add the hardware into the glass or have to swap the rear window. I sold my top already but I never...
