Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

Here’s a couple pictures of the harness connector. If memory serves, the red went to positive on the battery, black went to ground, white went to the third brake light. I tucked the connector and extra wire into the B pillar.

So the plug from the harness is behind the B pillar? I figured it would be up above the roll bar somewhere! Thanks for the pics!

Wow, I had not seen that yet.

I also put mine on it's side, and it just barely chipped the fiberglass on the roof. The J30 is extremely tough!

wow!

I bought my J30 used, when I did the installed that's where I tucked it away. But you can also tuck it into the roll bar cover.

Looking at adding some KC Gravity Pro6 lights up top. Anyone have a light bar / windshield hoop that doesn't interfere with the opening of the J30?

Look at the one Chris has on his on venture 4wd

Yeah I’ve spent many hours watching Chris’ adventures. Seems like it may be the best choice for a hoop. Although not a huge fan how it attaches / how the bar just terminates straight.

The Rugged Ridge one looks a bit more elegant to me, but some bad reviews out there.

Part of me thinks I could even just mount the lights right to the top of the J30 roof, but probably makes a mess wiring wise.

Well, I went and watched a bit of Venture4wd again and bit the bullet. Thanks for the poke in the right direction @ratled. More light (and a cool looking bar) en route!

I saw this video of another one with lights on it for you JB30

Hmm... already installed the Kargo master and a set of KC Pro6’s this weekend, but would love to know how he mounted his lights centered on that light bar. The mounts that I got from KC have them sitting way above the bar. Yet another piece of the puzzle to figure out!

That came out nice! Better than mounting them to the J30.

Anyone have recommendations for roof rack rails? Looking fro something that runs the entire length of the J30 roof, the main use being a maxtrax and solar panels mount. Although would also look to have a couple removable cross bars if I ever need to lug extra gear.

Question #487 for the group... anyone installed a Apollointech switch panel (or sPod for that matter)? Seems pretty much impossible to get that bloody thing on there as designed (bolts to footman's loop) without removing the roof... Any creative solves out there?

Go with a switch pros. Much more reliable, and easier to mount

Some frontrunner tracks would work nicely. PM me if I can help as a dealer.

That ship has kinda already sailed... Although I've read almost all positive things for the Apollointech. I'm usually not one to skimp, but I didn't need all the extra features of the sPod, etc. and people seemed to be happy with their Apollointech's, so took the leap. Pretty nicely built as well looking at it today in the flesh.
