    Diesel Air Heater in 1st Gen Tacoma for OVRLND Top

    Where did you get the fuel tank that you used? That's a great setup and I'm trying to shoehorn one in my Jeep right now.

    Gladiator Spare Wheels

    I've been interested in running Galdiator spare wheels on my JKU ever since I got a glimpse of them. I've been watching the classifieds and have picked up three rims so far. I mounted a rim up tonight with a factory new Falken 285/70r17 tire, and I learned a couple things. I thought I'd share my...

    Jeep JKU Old Man Emu Springs

    I've got a set of used JKU 2618 medium heavy rear springs from Old Man Emu. These were under my Jeep for a short time and then replaced by a heavier set (2620) to hold up my Ursa Minor J30. My previous JKU build used this same part number and they're still being used under it. Like I mentioned...

    JK/JL Jeep Camper Concept

    I like it! If you can keep it under 6klb so you don't need to highly modify the drivetrain, chassis, suspension, brakes and axles it would be great. Otherwise it would be a 3/4 ton truck that looks like a Jeep. I saw a two door pickup conversion that was based on a JKU and it reminded me a lot...

    Quality JLU bumpers and lifts

    I like the oem stamped steel bumpers myself, but if I had to buy an aftermarket it would be a Warn or AEV bumper. I've owned a couple AEV rear bumpers for JK Wranglers and they've been great. Be careful to stay away from the heavier bumpers. I had an ARB bull bar on my first JKU and it was like...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    No, the distance front to rear of the holes in the bottom bracket. These are the holes that the upright assembly attaches to.

    Yeah! Tire size questions once more!

    Me too! It's a great site for researching tires.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    That's a very nice JLU! Thanks for posting the pic. The next time you have it open would you measure the space between the bolts for me on the bottom bracket? I would be in your debt forever and always think pleasant thoughts of you, lol! I do but I don't want to share them yet. Still...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    While it isn't made for the Wrangler, this gent built a nice setup on his JKU! https://offroadpassport.com/forums/topic/5482-on-board-fresh-water-hot-shower-in-a-jeep-wrangler-jk-unlimited/ I am planning on doing something similar to this in the spring depending on some life changes that may be...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Can anyone tell me if the hinge mechanism on the new JLU top is the same as the JKU series? I made the plunge tonight and ordered enough materials to build 26 sets. I don't think my wife will be very happy when she sees the CC bill, LOL!

    Rear Bumper Recommendations?

    I have the AEV bumper and tire carrier. Their setup utilizes the factory hitch which was fine by me. The bumper has good recovery points, hi lift jacking points and holds four gallons of water. The tire carrier opens with the tailgate which makes rear entry when grocery shopping a ton easier! It...

    Yeah! Tire size questions once more!

    I know that the 285/70r17 will work on a stock JKU with the stock rim. That's the size that Casey at Coyote Works is/was running on his Jeep before the lift. I've got 285/75 R17 KO2 tires on mine and I don't believe that they'd fit without a slight lift. They're 33.25" tall and I'm running OME...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    I have designed and built a prototype shield for keeping the tent material out of the hinge mechanism in my J30. I'm testing it now. I am wondering if there would be any interest in the Ursa Minor community for a product like this?
