    Bear, our 2016 JKUR

    You'll now see the reason for some new springs! I added the ARB bull bar and a Warn M8000 to my last JK before springs and it definitely made a difference. A set of OME medium heavy springs helped immensely! BTW, love the tire and lift combo, it looks just right!

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Yes, that's what I meant. I was looking at them and they're not really that tight to flip down so I think I can shorten one and it will still be functional.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Has anyone on here modified the latches up front to accommodate a larger awning? Are the latches stainless steel or will the rust if i cut them? I really like the new ARB aluminum awning and I'm thinking of going that route.

    I would have definitely gone this route if I had the front latches!

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Thank you so much! The pics really help. I'd been looking at the compact and wondering but I just hadn't seen one installed on a JKU to get an idea for how it would be. I think you're right on the best suited for two people so I'll be looking into standard awnings. I can't thank you enough for...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Is anyone running a batwing awning on their Ursa minor and if so what model? I'm starting to look around and not sure if I want to go with the batwing or just an ARB 2 meter standard. There needs to be room for four people. The only thing that will definitely need to go for the batwing is my CB...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Does anyone have any suggestions about where to get a set of seat covers that completely cover the back side of my rear bench seat? I think it may have just turned into a high traffic area and I want to protect it. My seats are leather and removing them isn't an option.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I just got my top installed in Portland by John on Tuesday morning. I finally realized why he's hard to get in touch with! He was talking to customers on a head set the entire time he installed my top. I thought it would be a fairly quick installation, since I prewired the Jeep and showed up...

    Spring recommendations for a lifted JKU - Overland rig

    I have the OME medium heavy 2" springs on my JKUR. I will be adding the Ursa Minor top soon (hopefully). If it weren't for that, i'd say they're a little stiff personally. The thing rides like a lumber cart right now with my soft top on. I'm still running the stock tires, but I'm considering the...

    JKU / JLU as a family travel vehicle

    I had a 16 Cummins ram 2500 crew and it was more comfy for the whole family all the way around. More room, better seats, less wind noise, etc.. That being said we had a jku before the ram and we have another one now. We just liked the jeep too much to stay with the ram. I have two girls still at...

    SOLD: WTB: Jeep Rubicon OEM Wheels

    I have a good friend who has a set in Hermiston if that's not too far. Let me know and I can ask him what he wants for them.

    Best Overland Channels on YouTube

    Venture 4wd, coyote works, I am Jake, the road chose me, 4xoverland and waypoint lost. I do watch some trail recon occasionally but I find it to be more of a how much crap can I bolt on a jeep channel and the music annoys my wife to death. I really like the simplicity of venture4wd. Chris has...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    So the plug from the harness is behind the B pillar? I figured it would be up above the roll bar somewhere! Thanks for the pics!

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I'm trying to prewire my JK for my top that's due to be finished next month. How much of the pigtail protrudes from the B pillar and what type of plug does Ursa Minor use? They're supposed to ship me a harness but it's yet to show up and it's getting cold here. I figured If I knew what plug is...

    JKU - RTT for 4?

    Thought I'd drop another post that I got a good look at the FSR tent. It looks like pretty good quality for a tent, but at the end of the day that's a $2500 tent. Add a rack to that purchase and I'd be right at four grand to be able to sleep four people. I think I'm going to buy a folding...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I'm looking for ideas on where to place my factory GPS antenna. I see Maximus 3 offers a mount for the passenger visor. Has anyone used this with an Ursa Minor top or something else? I've seen the factory antenna mounted on the cowl and that might be the way I go but I want to see what other...

    JLU worth car payments?

    I've had a Casita that I pulled behind my JKUR and maybe I'm just a safety ninny but with my family along I wouldn't have thought of ever putting 37" tires on the Jeep. I had a prodigy 3 brake controller, firestone air bags and 4.10 gears with stock tires. It pulled fine and handled okay with...
