Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

[Steven_B]

Photos as it sits.

I deployed the tent and was able to get in without a problem. With the small floor still up, I could lay down on the bed stretched out mostly but my size 13 feet would hit the wedge part. With the small floor down, this wouldn't be a problem. I'm thinking I might split the small floor into two portions to allow myself to get down while my wife is still sleeping. I wake up way earlier than she does. Also would allow us to keep one up with a heater going below. I'm 6'5".

Photos are of a customer's Gladiator, not mine.

I absolutely love this set up. Can you take a shot of how the awning is attached?

Do you think it would be possible to fab up a trim piece the fill in the Gobi color gap under the rear ACCC area above the bumper? Its where the camera is mounted in this pic. Optically, this is triggering my OCD. Of course a swing out tire carrier might solve that as well.
Or perhaps, that bit of the bed could be coated in bed liner to match an OEM bed liner. But, I'm leaning towards a trim idea.

More questions. What lights are in the top rear corners?

Attached are photos of the Alu-Cab awning mount brackets and deflector. It also got a shower cube installed. Lights are Baja scene lights. And it should be a simple job for a fab shop to make a fill panel or maybe have a vehicle wrap company install a piece of black vinyl to kid the color?

The ACCC just looks better on the JT than any other truck. Their boxiness just match each other

Next question. Is there enough room to run the table slide above the hard top?
If not, could the table slider be mounted to the underside of the big bed platform?

What are you doing for the suspension? Pics are definitely needed after the install. Videos of the install if you can.

I have mopar 2” installed and only sagged 3/4”, this was perfect and even when fully loaded with me and the wife and all our gear the rear is still higher than the front.

Where did you get the bracket for the camera? thanks

I am happy to see more alu cabs on gladiators and the additional attention to the thread.

No, not enough room to add above the hardtop like on the tacomas.
Maybe, underside of bed platform, but it would really depend on the size and dimensions of the table.

Someone asked about the climb in area. I am 6’1” and 230lbs I have no problems getting in and out of the bed through the “flap”
Wife is only 5’2” and needs a 2’ step to assist. We use a dewalt toolbox for now until we get the goosegear cabinets installed

We (Mule Expedition Outfitters) make them for our installs. I personally might mount mine up high vs low. We'll guess that will depend on if I plan to tow which then it would be nice to have it low to line up a trailer. Dangit, now I need to think about it.

I’d be interested in a camera bracket. Is this a one off only? I really miss not having my rear camera

I did install a Brandmotion rear view mirror with the camera mounted just below the third brake light. I’ll post some photos tomorrow.

Steven B,

Can you post pics of what the Backup Camera view is while installed in that location?

I'd like see the normal back up lines and then the Ball Hitch view.

No suspension yet. We've installed an ARB front bumper, the canopy camper (with water tank) awning, twin ARB Compressor, skid plate system, and Goose Gear rear seat delete. I will try and get some photos later. We're not an approved vendor, so I don't want to break any rules. I was doing research for my personal build.

Curious if you're going to have your rig weighed?

I finally got the Alu-Cab Canopy Camper installed. Here are a couple of photos of how it looks and sits on the Gladiator. Now I just need to find a bracket to mount the stock camera.

Merry Christmas to all!

Any pics from the back? Also, what size tires?
