Alu-Cab Contour Canopy Roll Call - not Camper

[jeepers29]

I've run a fridge in my JT bed for the past 3 years on a TON of washboard throughout CO and UT. No issues here. My ARB 63QT came with rubber padded feet, but when I mount anything of size or weight to either my bed floor or my previous Rebel Off Road rack, I use these... I can't tell you how often I find myself grabbing a few rubber "feet" for various projects outside of the Jeep world too.

Do you know of any coupons/ discounts for these or is the price manufacture controlled, like AEV stuff?

One other question. Does a mojave owner have this cap and if so, what was the sag you got with the softer mojave springs?

There are multiple Mojaves in this thread with the caps, check out the top of page 17.

With windows this cap is ~135lbs, I don't know the exact spring rate for the Mojave but the Rubicons are estimated at about 180lb/in. If I had to wager an estimated guess you'd probably see somewhere around 1/2" to 3/4" of sag. Take out your spare and you'll get an idea, the stock spare on my truck was 93lbs.

My spare is currently off the truck and I don't see any change in rear height with it out. I had a 86lb Kayak mounted to my Yakima Overhaul rack, probably had about 200lbs in all on my bed many times last summer. Truck wasn't level even then. Basically Im sure theres some sag, but the cap alone wouldnt concern me.

Thanks for the insight

Created its own thread but wanted to post here as well to hopefully solicit more help…..
Just placed order for a Contour Canopy with no windows. Expected arrival in May. I’m figuring out how to mount by ROAM case, 7gall shower tank, awning and whatever else I need too. Wondering if there are alternatives to the Alu Cab load bars that will work as well with the tracks that come on the canopy. If I can save a few dollars on some quality alternatives then I can spend it elsewhere with Alu Cab specific items like the side cabinets.

I'm hoping to get the measurements of the side door. I've ordered a contour canopy and am hoping to be able to install one of the half cupboards behind my fridge but can't get an accurate measurement of the opening to do the math.

I have a Contour Canopy with windows, but the doors should be the same size. What exact measurements are you looking for?

Picture to draw on

The length of the opening on the sides. I see that the total canopy length is 1583mm and I know the windows aren’t quite as long. My fridge is too tall to go under a cabinet so hoping it’d fit next to it.

Gotcha

The door itself is 56-3/4" but the opening in the canopy from inside of the seals is about 51-1/2". Hope the third picture helps to see the channel that surrounds the door opening. If you need anything else let me know.

I have a 65L fridge. Can't fit the cupboard on the same side. The cupboard is pretty long.

Awesome, thank you! Those pictures are perfect and exactly what I needed. I need to drag my fridge out and measure it. I can’t remember what size it is for the life of me.?

No problem. If you need any other measurements let me know.

Anyone in/near SE MI have one of these? Pretty sure I'm going in this direction, but I'd like to see one in person if possible.

After dealing with the stupid locks for four years (two on a canopy camper and two on a contour canopy), I finally bought the power lock refit kit. I need to figure out the locking wire in the tailgate so I can wire them to the remote.

Perfect timing. I was just coming to the forum to look for the same info. Someone has to have done it already
