These are the only pictures of the fit test of the Alu-Cab I could get so far for the Gladiator. I got some photos of RLD Generation2 but was requested to not share them yet. They look good.

thats sick. i like it. only the 2nd topper that's looked decent so far IMO, although I would like to see the side view and how it matches up with the hard top

Wish I could see the gap between the cab and cap, looks pretty tight though which is good. Top looks to be a smidge taller than cab.

This looks good

But this looks like the cap doesn't stick out far enough. Regardless, looks like I'll be ordering one!

February/March are the promised dates. Doing final fits on the Gladiator from what I’ve been told. Alu-Cab and RLD are close in price stating in the low $3,000 and climbs from there with options.

i'm confused what they're actually doing..... I thought Alu-Cab has already made a bunch of these, like the one @smlobx is getting on 2/15. So if they're already made, what are they fitting?

I guess I don't understand how the design/manufacturing/fitting/sale process works.

I don’t understand it all myself. I am only relaying what I was told by the provider of the first pictures (that I know of) of a Gladiator specific Alu-Cab on an actual Gladiator. Not certain what their definition of final fitment means. I think I was told it is difficult to get an actual Gladiator into South Africa therefore shipped here to New Jersey for final fitment. I’m just the messenger. :(
