Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

[Fungshui]

I’m in CA too. I’m scheduled for a canopy camper to be installed on my bed adding 600+lb once loaded to the bed at all times. I guess once I have it in few weeks we could figure that out then. Was trying to install sway bar & brackets to reduce the pain of bringing the truck back from Oregon if it was really bad.
I guess I’ll wait and see how it reacts before installing anything.

Is Mule Expedition performing the install? I had my ACCC installed there as well. The drive back to CA will be fine. You will adjust to the new dynamics after a couple miles i.e. braking earlier, lower corner speeds, watch out for uneven pavement that can cause body roll. I just took it 5 MPH below speed limit until I became more comfortable.

I recommend getting the convex side mirrors so you can see more behind you. As you already know, the rear view mirror will be worthless.

Yes, not the easiest to work with, which is a bummer for the distance and logistic it implies for us. But, thanks for the feedback, I feel more confident overall trying with stock first and take it easy on the way back.

Well, i bit the bullet and bought the teraflex st3 with adjustable control arms, falcon 3.3 ajustable shocks, and the extended rear dumafluchy for 16" articulation. You can tell i am a noob.

Which side view mirror is the best or works the best as an additional one to factory?

I purchased the OEM Euro (convex) mirrors through my dealer.

I document all the work and parts that I purchase for the truck in a binder . I can provide the part number once I get home.

That is an impressive build. How long are you traveling for?

Thank you!! My wife and I are hitting the road and living in our Gladiator full time. Will be departing tomorrow. Been working on this build for a while now. We think (and hope) we finally got “Stella” dialed in. Time will tell. Thanks again.

So...is it actually a frosty beverage or are you using it for something else?

That is awesome. Congratulations.

And it is never dialed in. Ha.

LOL. I wish. It’s actually our water storage. Three five gallon and a pony 2 1/2 gallon. They are connected to our compressor under the passenger seat. Daisy chained to our beer dispenser…errrr…water dispenser.
