It has the body color matched paint option.

It's been a minute since I've posted. Had my gen2 JK J30 since 2014. Many trips logged. ~50k adventure miles. I just came here to say that I'm enjoying my J30. It is a excellent platform for general adventure travel for my 2people+1dog family. John's build quality has held up very well and, I...

I think the important thing to consider is that a camper top like this is a rather custom job and will require you to be resourceful enough to "tweak" it. I've owned both a Gen1 and then Gen2 top. Therefor, I can say the latest mold is much better, but not a perfect "factory fit". It's still...

More J30 porn for your enjoyment. Parking this RV is never an issue for me...

I saw your rig first on American Adventurist's instagram and googled around to find your AA build thread here. I realize you are the founder of a competing forum. I've subscribed to your AA forum and build thread to follow along, but if you don't mind sharing with the established J30 community...

For some people, a cheap dirt bike and a backpacking tent constitute a "global travel platform". For the solo traveler, the J30 will certainly do it well too, but I'd sell of the Jeep and pick up an RB-50 Sportsmobile to do the things you do.

Just like everything in life, it's a trade off. The J30, and other camper setups like it, are based on a Jeep or other mid-size 4x4. For me, the trails I run in CO are tight and technical. Full size trucks are often denied the places I go, much less an extra heavy van. However, you lose that...

Yes, it was an addition to the Gen 2 design. It's more of a drip rail-ish profile where the body and top meet. I'm not sure why it was incorporated, form or function maybe. Also, the 2nd generation units have a raised profile around the latch and tent to assist with water runoff. Same concept...
