Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

[dmulk]

I mean I said I think ?

The grab handle is from Carolina Metal Masters.

Here are the pics of the Gen 3 interior (the kids got lazy/distracted with the patches—I’ll probably end up being the one up there fussing with them lol):

Do those new square hatches lock in place? I think the Gen 2 "puzzle piece" hatches just lay in place and I think I read somewhere that if you kneeled on them in just the right spot you could end up falling through or something?

I’m at about 87” at my highest point on the Jeep. 85” is where the garage door header sits.

What size lift and tires?
I was looking at my Gen 1, and it’s roughly 10.5” in height from the top of the rear door. Hard to tell in the picture with the angle. Another guy measured his gen 2 and it looked to be about the same.

The Ursa ones are available now. ?

You have to go to ursaminorparts.com —> Menu—> Full Catalog—> Page 2.

They don’t show up under JK/JL J30 Parts and Accessories or Jeep Accessories.

Well, how about that?

JK & JL Tent - Gear Pouches

Gear Pouches for the inside of your Tent. These will fit in any Ursa Minor Jeep Tent, and are attached to the tents headliner by removing the 5 nuts on each side and poking holes in the pouches to slip over the studs.These include 4 zippered mesh pouches for storing your gear, several sleeves...

ursaminorparts.com

They aren't sold out either! I'm personally, not loving them, but they look practical.

Haha. Cheaper and easier than making the garage opening taller for sure! I have a shop behind my house where it will fit, but it would be nice to park in the attached garage. I’ll figure something out.

I’ll get a pic of the inside soon…my kids are up there right now transferring the patch collection from the old hard top…they’re pretty stoked ?

And thanks! I think I’m pretty close to having all the major build stuff done now that I got the Ursa…. and my grab bar finally makes sense!

Where did that grab bar come from?

Thanks for posting these pics! I really like the integration of the power plugs in the loft and the loop handles on the hatches - those are nice refinements of the design!

Dang it! You guys are not a good bunch to hang out with. You just cost me another $150!

The accessories are hard for me to resist too!

They do. One of the pics I posted is of the bottom side of a hatch. You can see on one side there is a metal disc that is used like a biscuit joint. On the other side is a knob that you can twist to lock the hatches in place.

I don’t believe I heard any rattles or creaks from the Ursa on the drive home. I did have my soft top bouncing around in the back though making some noise.

Carolina Metal Masters makes it. I designed the engraving. There are a variety of options and you can have just about anything engraved on them.

AEV 3.5” and 35” BFG KM3s

Here are a couple of quick pics. When I get a chance I’ll put something with a straight edge across the top so I can get more accurate measurements, if people are interested. I’ll measure to other parts of the camper so the height of the Jeep lift and tires won’t matter.

My 2nd gen lift gate glass is 21" tall from the tailgate.

Has anyone seen a pic of the new gear pouches installed? I'd like to see them in place before I try to mount them!

Question about adding solar to the Ursa Minor: What have you all used (or are thinking of using) to run solar to a charge controller located inside the jeep?

Where would you locate a gland (assuming you are using one)? (Top of the roof or vertical along the rear edge maybe?)

Cheers,

Dan

There you have it. You can see the Gen 3 is taller.
