Alu-cab canopy Jeep Gladiator #001

[Bacon]

Here is #001 Alu-Cab Canopy. I am very happy with how it fits and the craftsmanship is awesome.

Your Jeep looks great!. OK4WD is installing my 37s, 2.5” lift, and those Savegre IIs in two weeks. I can’t wait.

Nice I was gonna go 37s but opted for the 35s since it normally takes us 15 hours of Highway driving to get to friends and trails that we frequent

It looks like the canopy is about 1" taller than the truck's cab. Is that correct?

It’s is a bit higher on sides due to the curvature of the hardtop otherwise lined up here are some pictures

Would it be possible to get a measurment of the amount of space between the top of the canopy and the top of the crossbar? Hard to tell if there would be enough room to get between the bottom of a RTT resting on the crossbar and the top of the canopy in order to tighten the bolts to fasten the tent down...

If you are using a rooftop tent you would need the standard mounts not the low profile. You can look up that option on the website. I went with the low profile mounts because I have a gazelle ground tent and strap it to the roof rack.

i bought through Eric from https://ashevillevehicleoutfitters.com/. he's an alu-cab dealer through ok4wd I believe is how it works.

Eric was SUPER DUPER patient with me, as i've been asking for photos, and questions for about 4 months.

I got the sliding rear window, 1- 750mm cupboard with the mesh recovery kitting. The sliding side prep table, the folding table and mount, and the 1250mm load bar kit with both low profile and normal profile mounts.

I think the top itself was like $300 more than it should be and the table was $200 too much, otherwise, it seemed EXPENSIVE, but pretty much what I was expecting.

I'm not the best at color matching in photoshop, but i was curious how a color matched alu-cab would compare. Need to see a gator one, and a white one. With black top and black fenders!

You may have to give up another kid! Will be a nice set up. I do a lot of metal fab so I'm going to take a shot at making my own accessories. I think if you buy all they offer its like buying two caps!
