For sealing and protecting the outlet valve of the propane tanks, consider this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BB1Q5MT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is O-ring sealed and works like a charm. Considering everyone in here is complaining about the DOT approved...

gahhhh Troopies are so sexy. @rino how about some Prado 120 Hercules/Icarus conversions? :D

For sale in Tucson, AZ I have a pair of Dobinson medium duty progressive rate long travel rear lift springs (1.75" lift) for 03+ 4runners or Lexus GX. These are under 1 year old, I simply swapped to the heavy duty variant due to my increased weight. These springs are butter on the road for a...

I was comparing both heavily. I appreciate the spring poles sewn into the entrance awning on the Stealth. I really wish They carried that over to their Blade (wedge) tent. If they did, I could be convinced to go Blade over Alucab. In the end, I eliminated the stealth for one reason. I do not...

@DVD great trip report! Did the hot spring campsite at the end of your trip require reservations?

I asked them about a right side entrance and they told me they don't ever plan on offering one. Really I asked about a tent with entrances on both sides rather than having 2 separate models but they said that adds too much complexity to the canvas. I don't really see how, considering it has an...

agreed. That, combined with no right side entry, killed the idea dead in the water for me. Back to the taller Alucab. GFC is 6", on a 4runner on 34s at 6' 9.5". Not that some random prospective buyer would ever drive a design change or new model when they can't even keep up with current...

Glad to hear I wasn't making it up! Is the old insulation kit compatible with the new fabric? It sounds like the new fabric definitely helps, though I'm sure you and anyone else who has camped below freezing temps can attest that every little bit helps!

@rino , does Alucab offer a removable cold weather insulation kit for the Expedition 3 a la JB and FSR? I thought I recalled seeing them somewhere but didnt see them on your site. I could be day dreaming....

That's good to hear! I was just thinking of it, as well. With the tent portion being 6", 3" on each half, is there enough room to store bedding and pillows up there, or will it not close properly?

Hey guys, I currently have a Tepui softshell and have been wanting to switch to a hardshell for a while. one of many reason is wind noise. Our tepui flaps and flutters in winds and keeps us up all night if we are in high desert winds. I've been pretty much sold on an alucab since I decided to...

REI carries Dometic if you want to buy something local but they aren't any cheaper than ARB. Bite the bullet. I think of it this way: a top of the line ice chest will cost you 4-600 dollars itself for a 100qt cooler that you have to fill 30% with ice, keep up in ice, deal with everything getting...

Just out of curiosity, is there anything obstructing you guys from creating a hard shell that has no load bars and is as thin as the middle section below the load bars? The only thing I could see is the compression of pillows but if the bedding fits in there then it looks like you guys could...

wow and I almost went to that sale...but I was on my way out of town for Mojave. Good snag! jealous indeed.

@Mudrak Custom Cruisers , is the tent rated and/or structural enough to hold full load without utlizing load bars? That is, if custom brackets where made to mount the tent directly to 6x OEM rack mounting points in the roof channels to suspend the tent only slightly above the roof skin...

I tried searching in this thread but didn't have much luck. What brand/model solar panel are you running? I really like the idea of fitting one between roof rack rails so that it's flush. Love the truck. Always liked the 1st gen tundras :)

Yeah I may be on that path soon enough... Was hoping to have some level of confidence before dropping $200USD and shipping from AUS but it may have to do. It's funny you say that, but you're completely right. The ameteur bands are the same in Australia (I know 70cm, I'm fairly certain 2m as...
