The brackets are going into production in the next day or so and will be stainless. I will post a link when they are available.

Does the aluminum table mount under the cabover on the Canopy Camper?

Under the cabover on most trucks but I am pretty sure it will not fit on a Gladiator due to the height of the cab.
I saw some literature which led me to believe the table would fit under the cabover...and other literature which stated it would not. So, who messed-up; the Jeep engineers who made the cab too high, or the Alucab engineers that made the cabover too low? What came first, the chicken or the egg?

I can confirm the table slide doesn't fit on a Gladiator. I had a demo unit installed on my truck and they spent 3 hours removing the table first, as it had been installed at the factory with plenty of Sikaflex sealant and rivets. Good news is it can be reinstalled on another non-Gladiator build.

NO the cab in the JT is to tall. Not enough room.

Picked up my ACCC about two weeks ago, we love it.
it gets bags in the rear coils Wednesday to see if it will help with the sag, and then a 2.5“ lift and 35s in the next few weeks if not.

I have the oem camera temporarily mounted in the gap left from where the camera cable came out of the body. I have three ideas for a permanent mount:
-a custom bracket (worried about it not being waterproof)
-putting it in a small Pelican box and mounting to the door or rear side panel. I have cut a hole in a small Tupperware container as a practice piece to see how well it works before cutting into a $22 pelican case, need to play with it tonight.
or
-cutting a hole in the door or rear side panel the same as was in the tailgate and mounting it with the oem brackets.

I like thought of mounting it directly in the door or side panel since it would be the cleanest, but it worries me a little if I ever had to change it. The panel is replaceable, though not easily I do not think.

Might I ask, do you get any dash lights or warnings that the tailgate lock or third brake light from the tailgate is disconnected? What about the camera, is the screen just black when you reverse?
Thanks!

There were no warning lights with the camera or third light disconnected. When backing up, the screen was black except for the direction lines.

Tailgate Wiring?

For Removal of the tailgate in preparation for my Alu Cab pick-up, do I just unplug the brake light, tailgate lock, and back up camera wire harness and tie wrap the harness under the bumper?

I understand no dash warning lights will come on, just wondering how everyone is handle this?
