It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of compact overland vehicles. There’s something satisfying about finding ingenious ways to maximize the comfort, storage, and amenities within a small rig. The popularity of minimalist builds has boomed over the past few years thanks to the introduction of innovative “go faster” campers from Alu-Cab, Four Wheel Campers, Go Fast Campers, Super Pacific USA, and many more. These “campers” generally provide basic amenities, a pop-top roof with an integrated bed platform, and are designed to be as lightweight and compact as possible. Furthermore, they’re a great way to transform any stock pickup into a comfortable live-in vehicle. Today’s offering takes this approach one step further and integrates an Ursa Minor Roof Top Tent System into a Wrangler by replacing the factory hardtop. The result is fantastic and creates an extremely capable micro-camper. This is an excellent compromise for those who find the standard Wrangler too small but don’t want to jump to the Gladiator. The Wrangler is a popular choice on our forum for overland builds. Recent examples include this 2013 Unlimited AEV Sahara with Smittybilt Scout trailer, a 2006 Rubicon Unlimited LJ, and a 2016 expedition build. If you’d like a closer look at how this 4WD can be outfitted for vehicle travel, check out these inspiring builds from Drew Simms and Joshav. Today’s 2013 offering showcases a plethora of AEV components, premium aftermarket modifications, and an Ursa Minor rooftop tent system.
