My aunt and mom made me the slip covers from sheets. I wish I had the skills but they were awesome to help me out! I hate sleeping bags in general so I use these with a top sheet and a comforter. It’s more comfortable than my bed at home!

I've always ran the Warn USA made lines on my Jeeps. My first Warn winch was a Bellview model 5687 that I got with my used. I had to replace some bushings to get it going but it was a great winch! Then I bought an m6000 and traded it to a coworker for an old 8274. That winch needed work but...

I have a snap-on version of that same test light and thought that it was the cats meow when I got it years and years ago, but after 20 years working as a control electrician I'm sold on an old school test light. I've ran across many electricians in my field trying to troubleshoot with a meter...

Great point! I store it in the Jeep when traveling, sleeping and not at camp to keep the critters out of the food. It would be useless on a roof rack, and thats where the front runner wolf pack/ South African ammo cans make sense.

I forgot to mention vise grips. I have a standard pair and a smaller needle nose pair. They are indispensable in a field repair situation. I would also carry some needlenose pliers if you don't already carry a leatherman tool full time. I try not to have much redundancy because my Jeep is heavy...

I figured a pic would get nearly everything where recollection wouldn't! A ratcheting screwdriver with bits is a good idea as well but it isn't a good replacement for a standard screwdriver that can be used as a punch or pry tool in a pinch. If you include a ratcheting screwdriver, include a...

I put a little Buyers guide together in a series of short videos for any prospective Ursa Minor shoppers on youtube. The first video doesn't have great audio but it improves significantly after that (changed equipment). I'm not looking for subs, sponsors, selling a product or trying to develop...

I'd say your Jeep is pretty well loaded. As soon as you put four passengers in it you'll be up to GVWR. I would suggest a good recovery kit, a full size shovel, jumper cables or a jump starter and a good communication device like a cell phone and maybe an inreach or something like that. As long...

I bought a wolf pack at a show to try out. I didn't like two things. First was they're not very space efficient. The extra thickness all the way around to stiffen them take up valuable real estate. The second thing was they are heavy for the size they are. In a situation where every inch and...

The old ruger bearcat was likely worth more if it was in decent condition but I get the safety thing. My dad accidentally shot my mom with one of those old model bearcats way back when. It was a combination of not following the four rules of gun safety and some out of spec ammo that wouldn’t...

I charge our phones and tablet every night as well as operate led lights on my awning, in the top, etc and haven’t ever had a problem. I’m still running a single battery setup as I don’t have a fridge. Not sure what the amperage draw is but it may be minimal if you’re not using an inverter to...

I've really tried to keep my weight down with light weight components and camping gear, but things add up quick! My JKU weighs @5400 lbs in it's current form with some camping gear loaded at all times. I added an M8000 winch with rope because it's light, as well as the ARB single compressor and...

I swear I seen a fridge in the recent past that was being produced with a battery that was built in. I believe it was a three day capable battery that was a lithium ion and charged with 110vac or 12vdc. Is anyone aware of who makes it? It sounds like a much better plan than adding a dual battery...

That’s super cheap. If it’s decent I think the other brands selling Chinese awnings are going to have a challenge competing.

Just wanted you to know I was very confused by this and others may be too. I went to the classifieds and found a white wrangler with a ursa minor top for sale and assumed it was yours. Well I was reading some more of this thread today and realized that one was not a Dan Grec model so I had to...

I thoroughly enjoyed this pickup.

This new adventure has me looking at Gladiators now! It would be for the wife of course!

That's good to hear. I've moved on to the 2620 spring. I didn't think I'd go back to it but I loaded the Jeep to go down to southern Utah with my little Honda rancher on a trailer and I knew immediately that I wasn't going to drive it sagged as much as it was. I pulled the Jeep around to the...

You are correct except for the Recon edition which has thicker tubes and different heavy duty c’s. When I bought mine I was skeptical so I climbed under a recon and a rubicon and sure enough, the axles are different.

I wouldn't personally do the work to install Rubicon coils when aftermarket are so cheap. I could see installing some Rubicon takeoff shocks if they were under $50, and the rock sliders look nice if the price is right. There's a reason they're everywhere!
