Best Cabs for Truck bed

[steven1955]

Another vote here for the Alu-Cab.

The ARE, Leer, and maybe other plastic/fiberglass don't play well with the soft top Gladiator roof, so we were limited to the metal caps with the flat front panels. Alu-Cab won over the RSI due to the lighter weight and one piece (no gaskets to leak) construction, and was a little bit less expensive.

I do really like the idea of the pop up top in the Giai though. I hope someone gets one soon and shares their opinions.

I went with ARE Classic with toolbox on drivers side. I also pull a camper so no rooftop for me

I was told by ARE that their shells weigh about 165 pounds. I have one and it fits great and have no problem with the factory roof of the JT. The opening side windows are great.

Another Alu-Cab fan here. I love that all three sides can open fully and the weight savings is nice also.

I found a like- new RLD with side windows. Former member that needed a 3/4 ton to pull his new 5th wheel made me a helluva deal. I’ve been incredibly pleased with it. Looks great on my Sting Gray with black hardtop JT.

Funny story- I was sitting in a parking lot one day listening to 2 guys walking by and talking about the “long wheel base Wrangler”. (My JT). One claiming he knows all about the Wrangler with 3 row seating, even claiming to have test-driven one and didn’t like it. ?

Nice! We love our Winnie! Ours is the 2529rg Winnie. Weighs 6200 empty but Rubicon hauls it well. Added a Reese sway cam system for the sway and pulls great! People can’t believe I pull it with Gladiator

Mine dry weight is 4800# so i tow around 5500# estimate have a husky weight distribution hitch and rear air bags that’s not really needed but brings the rear up a little. Tows very well.

Don't know if its the best, but it's a well known brand and has done pretty well so far. I do feel it's can be better and some of the newer competition may have added some improvements. My biggestpet peave is the door locks. They can be a bit fiddley to lock and unlock. Also, some of the newer model has integrated locks (one lock per panel). I've also seen newer models with exterior mounting options. If I were to get one today, I'd take a hard look at extrusion overland. There topper seems to be really modular and versatile. You can convert it to a rack, a topper or camper.

Only one i can speak of is my smartcap it’s stainless steel and i assembled the panels super good quality no issues fit and finish was perfect very heavy duty struts for the doors and water proof very well we had several flash floods lately around here and it’s been dry inside.

great looking Jeep

I’ve always had a favorable experience with ARE on my gladiator and Rams

Nice T.T. mine is a Scamp 16ft. I need to get motivated and do some renovations on it. It will be 14 years old in Nov.

AluCab. I did not want something like the ARE because they look too fit and finished, the truck starts to look like a big SUV rather than a truck.

ARE Classic installed today
