I’m planning on hitting PNW in July too. Really wanted to go to Expo West, but May is always so busy for me. Not sure whether or not I’ll camp on-site though. “Camping in a field amongst hundreds of other overlanders” doesn’t exactly sound amazing ?. I may look for some dispersed camping in...

I tried out the vented windows method today and I’d agree with what others are saying—it’s better than the hatch method. I do plan to keep minimal things up there. I’m thinking a blanket, a quilt, and a couple of pillows.

Here’s something I found interesting—sharing this because I’m pretty sure I had never come across this before (and I think I read this whole thread twice) and in fact I’m quite certain I’d read/heard the exact opposite—I was told when I picked up my Ursa that their official position was that you...

I’d use a Blue Sea Systems cable clam on top of the camper, outside of the tent fabric. They make a side entry cable clam that should keep it pretty low profile.

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

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.

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.

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...

I need to install the arrowhead end caps and they will really look good. Not sure why Ursa didn’t install them, but they were in a box with my extra hardware. I don’t know… I’m at about 87” at my highest point on the Jeep. 85” is where the garage door header sits.

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):

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...

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.

Haha! It did. Picked up J30 #499 yesterday. It’s a Gen 3 as has sort of been discussed here. ? They now use the later style JK rear hatch glass, the interior hatch panels are now the same as the JL30–square opening, and the rain/drip gutters are molded in. There are other small updates. They...

And just like that I got a call today from John saying my camper is ready. I asked them to send me the harness so I can pre-install it before going to pick it up. So hopefully I’ll pick it up in the next week or so.

That was probably me. I ordered on 3/31/21. Was last told it should go into production the second week of Jan. My order on Ursa’s website changed to Production Backlog about a week ago. I believe you mentioned yours was saying that before mine did. For what it’s worth I asked Ursa to do a...
