And I should also add that you should buy button head bolts for the Ursa minor awning mount to quick release bracket. Install them pointing away from the top to avoid tearing your bulb seal on the top like dummy me!

Maybe it's just my opinion but I've always felt that if you need to add spacers or constantly inflated air bags to bring a vehicle back to an advertised ride height then you have the wrong springs installed. If that works for you then great but a sagging spring that is too soft can create some...

I really like the leather wrapped grab bars and the steering wheel in my CJ7 has the same treatment. My friend has an 84 Laredo, I have an unknown package 84 and my little brother has the 84 base model. When I bought mine it had a few of the upgrades like a Laredo including the leather wrap...

They bolt right up. The holes in the awning, brackets and mounts are all standardized to work. The Ursa Minor brackets actually have more holes than you'll need. As I recall Ironman doesn't provide you with all the hardware needed so you will need to source some metric bolts and nuts at the...

I’ve got the rancho drop brackets on mine and the difference of no brackets to brackets could be felt in the first fifty feet I drove it. My lift is comprised of ome springs and shocks, teraflex bump stops, links and brackets, hellwig sway bar and some procomp brake line brackets. Everything...

I like the level mod. I was going to do the same thing but my phone has a level so I’ve just been using it for everything.

I did a similar setup myself before I found the disconnects I'm running now. Instead of a bolt I used a hitch pin on both ends and made some "C" shaped brackets out of square tube. For the awning side I used flat and welded some bushing stock that was cut to length and drilled out to match the...

Yes indeed they are. I like these ones because they work well with my side latches for opening or closing the top. I did not like that they are plastic but they've held up well and I only needed to buy half sets for the one side and in my shed for storage of the awning. A word of warning though...

Yes, I like my mattress setup but I do plan to add a diesel furnace as soon as it warms up a bit. The 2500 awning is not as nice looking on the Jeep compared to the 2000, but it makes up for it in shade and weather protection. I set up a mockup on the ground of the two sizes of awnings and then...

Memory foam is rock hard at @25 degrees, I can attest to that. It softens up directly below you but the outer edges make you feel like you're in a mold! I spent the night at Craters of the Moon last spring on my way to Moab and it was COLD!!!

My wife who smells everything is quite apprehensive about a fuel tank in that location and suggests I buy a Long Range America tank for the Jeep. The cheapskate in me likes the price of the AEV caddy, but not if it won't work for her. If she doesn't come along with me then the whole thing is a...

Does anyone on here have experience with the AEV fuel caddy? I'm looking into extra fuel options and the fuel caddy looks nice, I'm just curious if I'd be smelling it all night in the top?

You don't know much about Jeeps.......but you will! I've had mine in every piece it comes in. You'll need a good manual, like the tsm from Jeep. If you look around on line you should be able to download it and there's an 81-86 parts manual as well. These books will be invaluable tools to do any...

Not yet, I've been side tracked by snow and working on my hinge tamer idea. Soon though hopefully.

I thought I'd leave a little update on my hinge tamers for keeping the tent out of the hinge. All of my supplies and tools are here except for shipping boxes and I've built a jig for replicating. I have produced and installed the first finished set on my JKU. I have 20 more sets halfway through...

I hired a friend to paint that with a land rover paint code, and performed a complete tear down and reassembly of the Jeep myself. It's coniston green from the nineties. I absolutely love that color. It's funny how things come around. My first CJ5 at 17 was green and I really wished it was blue...

If it's an oem power port with oem wiring and fuse the fuse should have went before the wire melted. That's what the fuse is for, to protect the circuit. I would suspect the receptacle first as others have.

Has anyone added any switches inside the sleeping compartment? I want to add some porch lights for things that go bump in the night and I'm looking for ideas. Last summer I heard my pots and pans rattling and turned a flashlight on to discover that a herd of cows was under my awning looking for...

I have a similar amount of lift as you do (OME) and with that much backspacing and a 285/70r17 I have some serious contact between the inner sidewall and the upper spring perch when I turn the wheel to lock and the axle is fully articulated. I don't know how often if ever I would get into a...

Dan, I do prefer them if for looks only. I would have bought the winter wheel eons ago if the backspace wasn't so much. It looks like I won't be able to run either wheel on my JK without a spacer or sending them to a wheel shop unless I either run stock sized tires or don't ever flex my Jeep and...
