I've got the Alu-Cab Shadow awning with the wall kit and for the money I spent and what I really wanted, did not pan out. I love the sturdiness of the Alu-Cab, but the wall kit was a disappointment, main reason being that you can't seal it up to keep bugs and extreme weather out. The Fox Wing's...

Did you verify which side of 80 series Kaymar spare tire swing out you have?

Re: Tmberleaf Pika: Nice, but too small. While small is great for mobility & agility off road, it would be awkward for an extended overland trip. For $12k, rather have just a tad larger, like the Lead Dog Extreme 4x4. With the fold up bed that gives you a place to retreat during the day for...

As has been explained, you may experience moisture under your mattress and you may not, depending on your use. So use your RTT and check under the mattress in the a.m. every morning for moisture. If your seeing the dampness, then you should probably invest in a mat.

That looks like a sun roof under the front of your RTT. If it is, I've got the same issue with my '94 Land Cruiser and CVT RTT. I don't want to rain on your parade, but the best way that I get away from the noise is to keep it shut and also close the inside cover shade. My hard shell RTT is a...

Most RTTs are designed to mount to cross rails with mounting channels on the RTT itself. So sandwiching in a spacer(s) to bring an RTT up to the level of your existing rack's side rails is only going raise up the RTT, not secure it to your rack. You're going to need room to access the mounting...

Thank you. Please let me know what you find.

Once you find out what needs to be done - you're both correct - it's no big deal - just get'r'done. I understand the apprehension that the OP had, because I was the same. There needs to be installation intructions included for 1st timers. Most of us that are into off road and overlanding are...

Fine, now I have an inferior awning because it is doomed to weep in wet conditions because their "testing" is finally complete.

See this reinforced area of the Alu Cab Shadow awning: This is a feature pic from the OK4WD website that shows a design that this reinforced area will help the awning fabric last longer. Well, guess what? In this EP thread we learn that he new batch of awnings don't have it. Why? Because...

This response was from Alu Cab or OK4WD? I'd send back a reply to whomever asking: Did they not test the fabric before they built & shipped the ones that have the sewed in reinforcement or was it a design decision that it seemed like a good idea at the time???

So I guess the joke is on the rest of us that have the pad? That is crazy! Maybe if we complain about a leak in that area, they'll replace the awning fabric :rolleyes:? Thanks, RBA for reporting back their responses!

Yes, that is a valid concern. I was also a little miffed at having to pierce the cover with the mounting screws, especially with no instructions or website to refer to with install pics and tips. But, I digress - IMHO, Alu Cab/OK4WD must respond to your inquiry for at least 2 reasons. First they...

Well for one thing, your tent weight is not 175 lbs, it's 195 lbs according to Tepui specs - I wouldn't put a tent that heavy on any contemporary OEM roof rack, I don't care what it's rated. With the weight of any roof rack substantial enough to support that tent, you're going to be way above...

Hello. I'm looking for a left side (U.S. driver's side) spare tire swing out for a '94 80 series Landcruiser Kaymar bumper. I have the dual swing out bumper and would like to install spare tire on left side. Your post says you have "1 or 2 swing arms for landcruisers". Do you have what I need...

Seems a shame you're selling this after all your work. Hope all is well!

How old is your awning? Pics of bag showing your concerns would help. Are you sure it's sun damage? Hopefully Rin or Alu Cab rep can see your question and chime in with some help. Be nice to know if this is going to be a problem after owning one for just over a year, now and seeing other awning...
