Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

[Boat.man]

I'd love to know a bit more about the brackets you are using to keep the ladder in place. Can you share a bit more info an perhaps a close up picture or two? Thanks in advance!!

Sense I am a boat guy I found a quick release for a binimi top. Here is the link. there is a little puck that you bolt to the top and then I attached the quick release assembly to the ladder.

Here is a link to the part

I will try to get a couple close up pictures for you when I get a chance. If you look close there are 2 small silver mounts above the rear window.

You boat guys have all the cool stuff! That looks like a great way to anchor your ladder!

Since the talk is on awnings, has anyone figured out how to mount an Alu-Cab Shadow awning on the Ursa Minor?

Not a shadow, but the updated Rhino Rack BatWing fits and works spectacularly on the standard Ursa Minor brackets
It’s also half the price of the shadow and about 15lbs lighter.

Thanks, that looks awesome.

I have a question that I can't quite answer from your photos - I'm interested in how much of the tailgate is "covered" by the BatWing when it's open.. i.e. if you had a tailgate table for cooking, is it entirely covered by the BatWing, or does the BatWing end kind of at a right angle to the rear?

If it's not too much trouble, a photo showing how far "around" the BatWing goes would be much appreciated! Thanks

Dan Grec, I believe it comes out past the tailgate due to where the pole is on his next to the last photo.

Indeed, the tailgate is fully covered. I can stand under it with tailgate table open and fridge slide extended and be fully under cover.

More pics coming in a bit...

Having a tough time getting the right angle to show the coverage, but here it goes:

When/if the wind dies down tomorrow I’ll see if I can get an overhead shot that will make the most sense.

This is great, thanks very much!

It looks like if you had a vertical "wall" section on the right here, it will drop straight down and even the spare tire would be within the enclosed space.

Perfect!

Nice! That was a great idea...

Do you think two people and a dog can fit in a j30?

If your dog is less antsy and wiggly than mine, maybe. But it will be a super tight fit.
I'm 6'1, with 5'7 wife and there is really only a bit of extra space at our feet. It's really not wide enough for 3 across

Our 60lb rottweiler mix sleeps downstairs on the backseat. I wouldn't want to heave a dog that big up top anyway, and the hop down would be a bit much for them.

Do you by chance have a link for those little "pucks"? I'm looking at the quick release mounts but not being a boat guy don't really understand how they work.

When I ordered them they came as set, They don't show both pieces in the pictures but thats what I got. I needed the hardware to bolt it to the top and ladder but that was no big deal to get! I will try to get some pictures tomorrow!

Dog makes it very, very cozy, downright awkward for a 3AM toilet break. I would look at the dog sleeping downstairs. I mean it has a place where it hangs out when you are driving anyway?
