It’s too bad that they didn’t put clear sides on it so you wouldn’t end up with a huge blind spot. Otherwise looks like a great cover to keep things good and dry.
I felt the same way at first, but then decided I like this better. Harder to see inside, no need to remove windows in order to fold down, easier to keep looking clean. Also, the blind spot isn't that bad. You can still see from the rear side windows

I agree with all of those points. In addition, I probably will Jerry-rig some type of black interior cloth window shade for when I am parked in a public place with anything of value stored inside.

I must have missed it; sorry if it's been covered. What are the Alu-Cab's costing for the JT? Do they have the design finalized? I'd like to see how its shape matches with the lines of the OEM hardtop.

Ideally I would like a topper that follows the OEM lines and looks like it should have been there from the get-go. In addition, a black that matches the OEM hardtop would be great.
totally agree, i contacted 3 alu-cab dealers yesterday and the north american distributor. Only heard back from 1 dealer in NC, but Eric has been most helpful.

He said you can claim a pre-order now, but have to put 1/2 the money down of $3300. plus $100 shipping to a commercial location, or $200 to a residential one.

Not much info is available yet.

@smlobx, where did you order yours from? Was it also $3300 plus $1-200 for shipping without any options?

Also have optional sliding windows for the front and sides, right? I'm thinking I'll get the optional front slider, but don't know that I'll ever need it.

hmmm

This is what Eric from Asheville told me via email yesterday,
"
Once a deposit is placed, the Alu-Cab team will secure your spot in line and make any changes to the canopy ahead of time to make sure it ships with the first few shipments of Gladiator canopies. Most importantly, we need to know if you want any factory installed options ahead of time so it does not delay your order. The standard accessories can always be added later when the canopy arrives stateside.


Below is a list of options available from Alu-Cab:


Factory Installed options

ALUC-A-WSS-F Canopy Sliding window front $225

ALUC-A-WSS-LHS Canopy sliding window LHS $195

ALUC-A-WSS-RHS Canopy Sliding window RHS $195


Standard Options

ALUC-A-CB560-B Canopy cupboard (for standard canopies) 750 mm (l) BLACK $275.00

ALUC-A-CB1250-B Canopy cupboard (for standard canopies) 1250mm (l)BLACK $450.00

ALUC-A-RKIT Canopy cupboard Mesh Kitting (Includes 750mm cupboard) $375.00

ALUC-A-KKIT Canopy cupboard Kitchen Kitting Kit (Includes 750mm cupboard $895.00

ALUC-A-TBL-BKT Canopy Ceiling Table Mount Kit $75.00

ALUC-A-TBL Aluminum Folding Camp Table $395.00

ALUC-A-AMO-SLIDE Canopy Ammo Box Slide $345.00

ALUTRXT Traxtable W/ Canopy Mounting Kit $745.00

ALUC-A-SSP-TBL Side Slide Prep Table $245.00

ALUC-A-LB1450LP Load bars (two), 1 450 mm width Silver low profile $249.00"

Also, i'm not sure if you got a good deal at $2995, they're going to hit you up for another $304 on delivery or what, BUT.

Chuck from ok4wd said the price was $3299 AND Eric from Asheville told me yesterday "
The Gladiator canopies will retail around $300 more than the current Tacoma canopies. We're expecting the standard Explorer canopy to start around $3300. "

So....I dunno.....lol

Early model view acquired! AluCab Explorer Canopy specific for the JT.

Top is flush with hard top surface from what I'm told but next week I should have a better rear view showing the pitch difference between side door and Canopy topper.

can you get a picture more from the rear to show the angles of the sides and if they sorta match the cab angling? it appers to be more upright than the RLD design, which i like.
