Alu-Cab Contour Canopy Roll Call - not Camper

[BSchanze]

Thank you both! I believe it is wind driven rain from around the tailgate. I'll look into that seal kit as well. Never heard of that before you guys commented on it. Do you think i should remove some of those spacers? There are 3 or 4 towards the front, and extra one towards the back, but it gives a pretty even reveal of the gasket all the way around the truck bed.

There are a couple different kinds that you can find on amazon. Not too expensive either.

I wouldn't mess with the spacers if that's not the cause of the water intrusion.

Anyone swap out the lights? Looking for something with both red & white, but preferably not light strips.

Look up the National Luna touch in red and white. Pricey but nice.

You're not kidding, $55 a piece. Thank You
Any other suggestions?

Couldn’t find any molle panels that would work well with the m8 track on the ceiling of the canopy so I made my own. Decided on a modular system that piece seamlessly together, could configure just 1 or 6 (can run 2 wide) to cover the entire ceiling. Made from high grade aluminum, laser cut and powder coated. I choose Olive Grab but could do other colors or black.

I already mounted up my ARB single compressor using the 1/4in slots. Gives all kinds of flexible to configure the canopy how you want.

Sorta testing the waters of selling them. Curious if anyone in this forum would be interested in purchasing?

How did you get amber/yellow lights in your canopy? Do you have a part number for those? I have a bad light in mine all of a sudden and before I get a regular white replacement these could be worth it instead.

Best place to get the National Luna lights in the US is Equipt. You can replace the plastic covers with either amber or red. I have the amber cover on the lights that come with the canopy. They are notorious for having bad switches, so give them a jiggle. You'll have to drill out the rivets on the lights to get to the screws on the back of the light.

Besides the upgrade to the NL touch lights or can look at the Baja Designs rock lights too? But both are pricey.

So who has the 750 mm cupboard and built it out for a kitchen? I can’t justify the price for all the extra but thinking a few hours with angle aluminum, aluminum sheet, a drill some rivets, and elastic cordage I should be able to use my current setup to make it proficient. As long as I can push the cupboard all the way to one side and still access my fridge from the side

Had to downgrade from a 65L fridge to a 30L but it's enough for 2 people. Can't put as many drinks in the there though. Waiting for the utility cupboard to show up.

Not bad. I ended up getting it and made it work fits like a glove but works well.

Thanks for this. I may just swap the covers for red on mine.

Picking one of these up next weekend so just joining the conversation. What length roof bars do you guys have. I know they make 3 different lengths and wanted to order them beforehand to put them on right away but don't know which length to get. I will have a RTT and 270 awning

 

[Newlife]

Get the longer ones. With the awning you’ll appreciate the extra length

Thanks I'll go with the 1450mm ones with the standard height mounts!

I have the 1480mm, I think thats the correct number, but its right about there. If you check my other posts in this thread I show my 270 awning mounted up so you can get a look.

Can anyone point me in the direction of Mille panels for inside of the following doors? I saw 813Fab makes some but it looks like they’re designed for the PackOut boxes. OK4wd had some but they’re no longer available

Try CB Adventure Suppy in Ft Worth. They may have some. That is were I got my canopy, RTT, and Awning.
