These are the best I have my hands on right now.

Yes, it looks weird but hey it's feels good so I don't care what it looks like.

I will add more photos to this thread as I find them and/or take them this summer.

Note: I take my Alu-Cab off as needed... technically I put my Alu-Cab on as needed. It is currently hanging from my garage ceiling.

Word to the wise:
Don't buy a topper that is super close to the back window of your truck cab. You'll need to get your hand and arm between them to put the soft window back in.

I did not initially like the gap between my hardtop glass & the Alu-Cab front panel. However I was super happy about it when I finally got around to buying & installing my soft top (for the cab of the truck).

You'd undoubtedly end up in the same scenario if you drive 80mph with only the front panels removed... just 8 small bolts hold the rear portion of the top on...
I have to disagree.

If you only have the freedom panels removed, but have the doors & hard top still on, you have created a somewhat "parachute" effect. I would not do that.

What I have done is drive with my Alu-Cab attached, but with all doors and windows removed & the soft top roof still in place. I think the windsheild deflects so much of the wind that it only hits the sides of the topper, not the front facing panel of the topper.

How long does it usually take you to remove your Alucab? I'm considering getting one but thinking the days of removing my hard top completely might be over if I do. I also have a toplift pro and it comes from the back of the hard top to lift up and then slide around, which I don't think would work with the alucab attached.
