I have a yakima rack on my Ursa Minor top. I've hauled kayaks up there and while it is handy for keeping my length down the biggest negative I found is that I have to take everything off of the roof to push it up. I also noticed increased sway out on the road which prompted me to upgrade the...

Here’s a couple pictures that explain it better. I used really thin plywood for the top. It doesn’t flex because the storage box underneath has a brace in the middle and is built to shear in an accident. The front panels are 1/2” plywood. The first ones I had were plain old decking plywood but...

I ripped the boards to 5", but I have a heavy rubber mat under them and I also had my factory carpet cover down there for a while. 5 1/4" would be better without the factory cover. I attached the boards with some screws and clamps using the factory tiedowns so I didn't have to modify the Jeep in...

I just posted these pics on another thread but this was my solution for a sleeping platform with rear seats. I built a box to house camping gear that's just tall enough to lay a couple pieces of plywood level on the seat backs. I built a ledge for the plywood to rest on and then they cut big...

I'm not sure if you're aware but the models that come with the subwoofer in the floor have a plastic cover that goes over the jack only. I have that cover on my current JK. I built a sleeping platform that covers the cubby completely and houses some camping gear. With my subwoofer removed it...

I wonder if we got some interest and contacted blue ridge overland with a group buy if they'd build a few? I'd like one as well. I like the molle panel that Jscherb posted but I don't like extra weight because my JKU is already a fatty! Just a place to store jackets and stuff would make the Jeep...

Here's a couple more pics of it deployed, and a couple showing front and rear overhang. I've had to dig to find pics of the awning without the family in them! Sorry if they're not the greatest angles.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy and not on the forum much lately. I have a 2500 awning on my JKU and I'm using the Ironman 4x4 quick disconnect mounts. It's mounted to my Ursa minor top so that won't help you but I thought I'd add some info. I like the ironman awning brackets but they...

I reinstalled my OME 2620's recently for a trip to Moab where I was pulling an ATV on a trailer. My OME 2618 rear springs were about to the bumpstops when I pulled the Jeep around front to leave, so I drove it back to the barn and swapped them out. Now that I've put more miles on them they ride...

I would get a tailgate table and a frame mounted tire carrier (just because that's the first item I always add to a save my tailgate). Get some rubbermaid bins that stack for your camping gear. Throw in a recovery kit and you're good unless you want to sleep in the Jeep. Then it's just...

I just went out and peaked at mine. None of the wires are marked but based on the size. I'd say 16 gauge wire is what they used. If you call them they'll send you the harness. I preinstalled mine because I wanted to run the wiring myself. I'm pretty anal when it comes to installations and I'm...

There are enough Jeeps running around with aftermarket grills that I think you could easily find someone who would buy that grill if you acquire one of these Jeeps and give you their grill in trade. I know that seems completely ridiculous, but I think it's totally possible to make a profit on...

That hasn’t been my experience on either of the Jeep’s I’ve installed them on. Of course spring lift all depends on how much weight it’s holding up so there’s always a variable. The 2620 spring gives my Jeep a good rake with 2619 and OME trim packers up front. It’s definitely around 3” of lift...

And the old man emu springs are linear as well. I’m sensing you may have been told different?

I have the ome 2618 springs under my Jeep with an Ursa Minor j30 and they netted me and inch and five eighths of lift in the rear unloaded. They seem to handle pretty good until the Jeep is above 6000 pounds. I bought a set of the 2620 springs which gave me more capacity and lift, but like I...

I really appreciate seeing projects like this posted because it promotes my own creativity. I built a tube rack years ago out of 3/4" square tubing. I used a williams low buck tubing bender that cost me @ $100 that made really nice curves for 3/4 and smaller. It was going to go on my CJ7 but a...

I'm not sure if you're referring to a JKU or JLU, but I'll take a stab for a JKU. I ran the stiffest JKU spring which was the recon edition spring. When towing my casita I used a set of air bags to stiffen things up until I upgraded with a set of OME 2618 rear springs. They lifted the Jeep @...

I tried the OME 2620 springs in my JKU. They handle the weight great when the Jeep is sitting at about 6300 pounds but they make for a ride like a lumber wagon when the Jeep is under 6000. I reinstalled my 2618 springs in the fall and I have been trying to cut weight. All of my gear is getting...

I took it down due to my subpar recording and editing skills.

Yes you can replace just the CV joint in the front driveshaft. https://teraflex.com/shop_items/jk-rzeppa-high-angle-factory-replacement-cv-joint-kit I would keep looking for the grinding sound in 4wd though.....
