Anyone got an Alu-Cab Canopy, Camper Shell, Topper, etc?

I'm seriously looking at getting a Alu-Cab, but wanted to see if anyone had some input on these. I especially like the wide window openings!

 

There's a guy on ExPo, perhaps also here on TW with a 2nd gen with an early AluCab shell. I met up with him and checked it out. Pretty impressive design; finish and workmanship were OK, probably about the same as a domestic commercial aluminum cap. The side and rear door hinges, latches and seals looked very well done; also the rack. He was very happy with it ... and he was a serious Taco guy with a well-modded truck that sees lots of offroad use.

 

I have an Alu-Cab canopy, tent, and awning on the way. I live in New Orleans but travel to Woodworth, LA almost every other weekend. Once I get it installed, I can send pics or you can check it out when I pass through Baton Rouge. The equipment has arrived in NJ at OK4WD from South Africa; just waiting on the shipment to LA.

 

Do you think they ship to California?

 

I'm sure they'll ship anywhere in the lower 48 from Jersey. The problem is, how long are you willing to wait?

 

There are AluCab dealers in Washington state and New Mexico.

 

There's Tav LLC in New Mexico (http://www.tavllc.com), who is the dealer in Washington?

 

I'll have to plan a trip out to New Mexico

 

I WANT to say Mule Expedition Outfitters.

 

Adventure Ready near Seattle.

 

Has anyone seen one in person on a gen 2 Tacoma. From these pic it looks like it is a lot narrower than the cab...

I have seen one on a second gen and didn't notice any big mismatch between the cab and shell. I do believe that the current design has been slightly modified from the first units which were developed for the overseas market Hilux.

 

Awesome! Would love to see if you're passing through.

 

Beautiful state.... Taos, Carson National Forest, Santa Fe, Los Alomos.... great places to see.

 

@04TacoRunner seems to like his:

Also, their roof is apparently strong enough to support a 70 series:

I do believe those are two different companies.

I'd love to have either one on my Tacoma though!

 

I love mine, unfortunatly Im selling the whole rig to step into a 4x4 sprinter.
Security, side access, and strength to weight ratio, is what sold me on it.

 

@learmiller ... are you interested in selling the AluCab or other bits separately? But maybe I should ask, where are you?

 

Im in Arizona, Im really trying not to part it out.
The truck does me no good without a shell to keep my equipment safe.

 

Let me know if you decide to sell the Alu-cab separately please.
