I really like the Ursa Minor JK top. I am sure they will come up with something great. I have been thinking how to work around the cab bed structure and came up with this. Lets say we make the top part of the roof one piece. However the lower structure between the bed and cab would be 2 pieces between bed and cab. Next we support the roof with 6 actuators that is supported from the bed structure but runs full truck length. This should give the strength needed to support roof and keep it separated from cab.Good afternoon everyone, I am just following up with some information i received from Ursa Minor Vehicles for the Gladiator platform. I informed them in my email that I had seen full time over lander/adventure vlogger, Chris Shontz utilizing their JK popup camper top.
"Hi John –
Thanks for following Chris on his adventures, and your enthusiasm for our campers!
Our plan is an integrated camper that covers both the bed and the cab, allowing access from inside Jeep.
We won’t do much on it until the JL camper is in production and we free up some engineering/design time for the Gladiator!"
I know this isn't much info to explain the configuration, and I hope I don't get anyone in trouble for posting, but we are all curious of what options will be available right??? Anyway, after seeing some of @Bobs85Reny renderings, and reading some of the members concerns about construction and flex stressors, it seems as though they have taken the cab to bed flex and sealing to consideration and will be developing something similar to renderings from post #3. Im just curious of the location of the popup portion. Will it be a 4 person condo from cab to tailgate? will it be just the bed portion? will it be just over the cab? will it look like the red ambulance from post #3? I guess only time will tell.
