I think its because people have the ultimate goal of mounting a tent to the top and the availability of Alu-Cab load bars that bolt right on. We list an overall weight around 125 lbs with a dynamic load rating of 330 lbs. If you have seen one in person, they look industrial, almost overbuilt, so...
We sell and install both. The Alu-Cab seams to be the more popular model with about a 5 to 1 ratio. And a lot of people end up mounting tents to the Alu-Cab models later on. I think both product look great, but I kind of like the Alu-Cab better. But I am also a fan of boxy vehicles, so thats...
Got a special delivery today, the Alu-Cab Canopy camper has arrived. I am starting the install tonight but will probably take a few days as time allows.
Shot a non action "phase 1" of my build video if anyone is interested. I talk about the bumper, winch, solar, suspension and seat delete system. As well as whats next on he build.
Also installed a Cascadia 4x4 hood mounted solar panel. I ordered this prior to deciding on the Alu-Cab canopy camper which will have a 126W panel on the roof. Decided to keep the hood mounted panel just to maintain the main battery.
Saturday I was able to get to the brakes. Super easy to install and high quality product for sure. I installed some longer rear brake lines at the same time. Brakes feel great already, but I know there's some air still in the system. They recommend 30-60 miles then bleed again. I will probably...
Wonder if because you are in Poland? Gladiator (and Wranglers) are bit different around the world. For example, in Australia the Rubicons have smaller tires and the standard Sport non-high clearance fenders.
They have arrived. I will probably install them next weekend and go through the break-in procedure over a week's time during my work commute. They call for light braking for the first 180 miles.
The big difference and you pay for it, are that the ARBs, Dometics, and a few others out there are made to take the abuse of off-roading where your cheaper options are not. So if you are just going pound pavement, you can probably get away with most. But if the fridge will be exposed to rough...
