Aluminum Truck Cap

[Rickster73]

Do yourself a favor, do you due diligence when purchasing an Aluminum Truck Cap for your Gladiator.

I spoke with several people off of You Tube before I actually pulled the trigger.

Yes, I chose to purchase my truck cap through Alibaba verses paying an Importer double, thriple or more for something I could order direct myself.

Yes, it took 70 days to get to me, but in my opinion it was well worth the wait.

I could Not be Happier with the end result.

I agonized over the decision, but ultimately went with an Alu-Cab Contour Canopy. Found one a couple hours away for $2k. Deals are out there if you search.

There are Deals out there with the Best ones being through Alibaba. My total price came in @ $1325.00.

if you are happy with it, that is all that matters. My use case is likely a little different than yours.

I bought a used Alu-Cab for my '24 Gladiator around 9 months ago. I still believe that al things considered, its the best choice. The folks at Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in Asheville NC can fix you up. No, I don't have a single fraction of a relationship with these folks. http://www.ashevillevehicleoutfitters.com

I have been looking at the Nogi Rideback... The ones on Alibaba seem very similar to many options out there, just pretty darn leery of that site in general.... Is there a particular seller you worked with?

It weight approximately 170# the way mine is equipped.

The name of the manufacturer that I used on Alibaba was Jiangsu Pingwel Material Technology Company LTD.

Lilly Li, is their Sales Manager. You can email her, [email protected].

Do you know if they offer a wedge camper / pop up camper? Heading to Alibaba to see if I can find them now. LOL

Literally ripping off real pictures of GFCs inside the install bay at GFC in Montana then just smudging the name off the side panels. Looks like they have yanked pics from super pacifics and some others. The pictures show a bunch of different stuff, how do you know which knock-off you're getting? Like those two pictures aren't even close lol

I really like the xtrusion overland exoskeleton. That thing is pretty classy. Pricey though unfortunately.

Yeah, the price is a hook, but to many unknowns and the rip off factory definitely does not sit well. They use pictures of items that do not match, when asking questions they don't even understand what I am asking... I'd love a camper, but no way I can justify $10K for one. I keep going back to an aluminum canopy as that would be all that I really need and I can aways throw a RTT on there... So far my favorite option for price and look is the Nogi Ridgeback, but sure wish I could get it in white...

Yeah, I was in the same boat. At first I really wanted the Alucab Canopy Camper. But $15k quickly had me asking myself wtf I was smoking. I could never justify that. I ended up buying a tonneau-friendly used rack for 25% of the new cost, then bought a brand new, heavily discounted iKamper RTT. I am so glad I went this route. It is 1/4 of the price of the Alucab and the tent is roomier.
