    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Makes sense. I'm sure you guys will find the best solution. For Africa, definitely think about keeping rain and sun out with some sort of flap on the back or all around it. It will hugely in crease airflow inside. Best of luck with the build. Keep us posted!

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Sorry for the multiple posts. As for the ideal solution, here's what AluCab in Southafrica makes for Defenders. That kind of flap that opens up at the end would be perfect for the J30. Keep the sun and the water out, while allowing you to also keep windows open and circulate fresh air Which...

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    Tarp can also be used independent from the Jeep when needed, and provides plenty of shade for both being around the vehicle as well as inside the camper top.

    Ursa Minor Pop-Top Jeep JK

    UMV J30 #9 here. ( Hey Dan! We met briefly at expo ) Reading on bat awnings and water ingress in the rain I though I'd share my experience. After years ( 3 maybe ? ) and plenty, plenty of testing in all sorts of climates, super hot, super wet, snow and everything else in between I've found...

    new from Austria: ActionCamper for Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

    I'd be super curious to see what either of these options look like! — Especially the "Action Camper Mini". Do you have any sketches you can share?

    JK Hardtop rear quarter window storage

    Just a thought, but rather than trying to find momentum in this thread in a far corner of the Internet, if they were to do a pitch on Kickstarter.com providing details and pricing of what they want to make, they could reach hundreds of pre-orders. This would help them justify their costs and...

    JK Hardtop rear quarter window storage

    Nice! I'm sure more than one on this thread would love to see their ideas! Depending on how interested they are ( maybe they are interested in doing a one off, or maybe they rather bring this to market at a larger scale ) they may want to consider doing a pitch on http://www.kickstarter.com/...

    New Jeep Concept Vehicles at Easter Jeep Safari

    Let's see if this helps the brain juices. All we need to do is cross breed the Mighty FC with an Earth Cruiser. Now, where would you take it?

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    @ChuluTravels Can't divulge all details, but it was a fair price for a really well maintained TD5. @MargaretBowling Sounds very interesting. Although you are catching me way off guard right now, let's take this offline and see if there's anything we can figure out.

    JK Hardtop rear quarter window storage

    For further inspiration, these are the ones I've found for Defenders. In my opinion, the best looking one, and better finished one is done by Dolium in Australia http://www.dolium.com.au/Retail_Catalogue_page/LRGD_item.html These are done by FrontRunner in South Africa...

    JK Hardtop rear quarter window storage

    John, if there' was someone out there that I was hoping would see this thread... that was you! Excited to hear you were already toying with this idea. I hear you on the tray being borderline too high. I guess I'm quite biased, since I'm borderline too tall (6'6). Without a lift, a bottom hinge...

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    No plans to import to the US. This rig will be based in Argentina. Somehow the idea of offering it for rental or setting up a few guided trips to Patagonia keeps on floating around my head.

    JK Hardtop rear quarter window storage

    Inspired by the Storage window replacements for Land Rover Defenders, I thought how awesome would it be if one day these windoors were created for JK hardtops. Opened up my sketch book garbled something quick and a few moments later I ended up rendering them in SketchUp. Still need some...

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    Thanks Scott. Just look what you started; the fever is now spreading throughout the world. I guess this is what happens when people get exposed to Overland Journal. You might consider adding a warning note when readers receive their first number. - Be sure to know that you now have a local...

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    Hey Alan, thank you! We took a look at the vehicle today and with the help of a member from the Land Rover Club Argentina, we determined the model was, as advertised, in excellent condition. And so I went ahead and closed the deal. Needless to say, I'm super excited! .m

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    Thank you Steve! This is all of great help. I was currently going down this list: http://www.jojas.co.uk/defender_buyers_guide.htm compiling a checklist I can use to go down item by item. I didn't find any of what you mention in the list above, so your comments are very, very helpful. Best...

    Land Rover Defender expert sought in Buenos Aires for 1 hour gig

    I'm in the process of remotely buying a 01' Defender 110 TD5 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I would like to find someone there, on the ground, who I can hire to go do a quick visual inspection and drive test. The vehicle is stored in Buenos Aires, and the inspection shouldn't take longer than 1...

    Expeditions West: (JK) XV-JP Announcement Thread

    +1. From the distance, the XV-JP seems to be the most elegant solution by far when compared to all other few ones that have popped out through the years. I've been eagerly waiting for Scott's review since the day I learned about it.
