The Jeep Gladiator has one major drawback for what I intent to do with it. I have tried a couple of solutions, but they just aren't meeting my needs. So today we are going to fix this once and for all!

Really thought the biggest issue you'd mention was fuel range! Was thinking this would be a long range america install or something like that. The cap is cool though!

@Casey250 2 ай бұрын

Securing fuel in the box has been a big issue. A long range tank is still on the horizon but it has to be custom.

So happy to see this addition. I've been thinking about this canopy for a few months and keep procrastinating on it. Excited to hear if your happy with the switch in the long run.

I built my Gladiator almost 2 years ago, and included both the Decked drawer system and the Alu-Cab Contour canopy. Zero regrets on either one. I know that the drawer ’wastes’ some space, but I have no plans on packing so much stuff that I need every cubic inch available. Since I also added the Goose Gear rear seat delete kit, that’s where my fridge & Anker battery reside, so still tons of space for all my camping and recovery gear in the back. Dumping the Decked would create a need for many, many bags & boxes, and would be way less convenient to access. No chance it’s going away. BTW, I recommend the Alu-Cab table that stores inside the rooftop. It’s a great table, and out of the way while traveling. Thanks for posting!

That looks like a really cool cap for your jeep. Gladiator and a tent looks pretty cool as well. Looking forward to the rest of the install and organization. Congratulations.

love my alucab! the new version you have has so many upgrades that make it better than the competition! Functional stuff like putting the molygrid on the back window, and brackets now for the inside lights. go with the flush mounts for the alucab crossbars. the lower the tent and make it more flush

@Casey250 2 ай бұрын

Ya. It just makes swapping roof top tents harder for me with the low mounts. I'll see how it goes.

i was almost positive you were going to get a canopy camper.. maybe next time. ;).. Love mine.. i do need to try out a set of Dobinson springs to try and level out the stance.

@@Casey250 I'm curious why you would go with the 800w EcoFlow charger for $600 vs getting a Pecron 500w for $150. That's still more than plenty to keep your devices going. I bet that would also satisfy Shaun from TSTN

@Casey250 2 ай бұрын

I have a Victron in the Wrangler. If you combine the both you can get 1100w of charging :) I like the trickle charge and jump start function as well. Ecoflow is a sponsor so I try and review the products and tell you guys how they work out.

I went down the bed rack route... I wouldn't say I had any specific problems with the rack. I just much rather have the larger, covered, secured storage area. I've been shopping caps for awhile now and I'm definitely leaning towards the Alu-Cab. Also not real impressed with some of the caps I'm seeing going on KZfaq Gladiators recently... things like exposed hinge hardware just don't seem acceptable to me. Whereas clearly Alu-Cab put a lot of design into those elements.
