Alu-Cab Canopy Camper Roll Call

[Steven_B]

Are you using the Alu-Cab table? I may have to bite-the-bullet and buy one to work with.

I don't have any table yet honestly. Didn't want to buy a table then someone come out with a mount that works with another table.

Wishlist - back seat window molle for us back seat delete folks.

I was waiting for this as well, then stumbled upon this one that JCR makes. I don't have it, but nice to see a solution on the market finally.

Of our entire setup, the table is still an issue for us as well. Currently using the lifetime foldable. However, there really is no ideal spot for it. A table storage solution for the Gladiator would be aces!! Still think ghere is plenty of room over the cab, like the other trucks.

I have played with a few ideas but don't have anything I am happy with yet. Have you seen my seat deletes? SHW Off-Road has their first prototype mounted in my truck. It is a full system but I believe they will also make a rear wall section to work with other seat deletes. I will have prototype 2 in the truck in a few weeks. The rear wall will have a deeper cabinet and MOLLE panel inside. In the photo, the foam insert is shown

Appreciate the link. I’m looking for the door window covers (not the back window). Some wasted space that would be ideal for items. Will also serve as security protection with rear seat intrusion. Thanks again.

I finally got the upTOP Overland Alpha (front half) installed. I only had to cut about two inches off of the two initial grooveTrek pieces. I still need to wire the lights, but otherwise it’s done. I added the 83L Roam case on top which I plan to put lightweight recovery gear that I will rarely access (soft shackles, straps, etc.) to keep weight down. Here are some pics.

Where did you get the half rack from? I don't see it on their website.

I emailed them and they hooked me up. You will have to cut about 2 inches off the rear of the inner rail.

Great thanks

Great thanks

Sherpa just released a full-length JT rack and will be releasing modified versions soon for the Alu-Cab and other camper-equipped models soon. I think they are releasing one for GFC first then us. Might email them so they know there's more demand

Trailrax has a new one releasing soon as well. They are working on an Alu-Cab length version.

Hey, got a question for those who have done their own interior build:

What have you done for a bed or base plate?

I'm looking into some thermal insulation and then putting a marine grade plywood sheet on top of that. Now I'm thinking about whether to fill the "lower" areas of the bed, they are about 12mm (1/2") lower than the "higher" areas (How do you call that? Corrugated?). Worth it? Overkill? At this point I think it might just be overkill. Maybe I'll put an extra layer of insulation foam into the "valley" and the plywood with a thinner insulation attached to it on top. I don't want it to become squishy since I want to attach the rest of the furniture to it, but I also don't want to overhink/overdue it.

I have
- 3M SM600L thinsulate bottom & side of bed
- 1” thick NGX board bottom
- custom cut 1/2 in birch plywood

Some photos here:


Probably overkill, if I had to do it again I’d find something thinner than that NGX board, although, it has the best insulation factor of the 3.

A couple I'm following on Youtube used something called "Armaflex" in 9mm (3/8"). It's a closed cell foam insulation, mostly used in ducting etc. I haven't seen this available in the US anywhere, their pipe insulation is available, just not the rools. Seems there is a similar product on Amazon though:

It's 10mm foam though that's why I'm thinking about "squishy-ness". Might have to try it out.

Did you fill the "corrugations"?

 

[ParatusExpeditions]

They’re filled with the thinsulate (it kind of expand).
Sorry it’s barely visible on the bottom of the first picture.

What have you done for a bed….

I’m just using a bed rug, plenty thick and great insulation. My cabinets attach to the bed rails and factory bed cargo points.
