23.5"x50"x3" - Here is how I have mine set up in a Tacoma 6' bed extended cab. Plywood w/ cleats over milk crates for storage.

Rin - any dimensions and/or diagrams on the new water tank? Particularly trying to determine depth - how much it will hang forward of the rail and also would like to know the positioning of the (4) 1/2" ports. Description indicates (4) ports, but the photos seem to show a fill cap in upper right corner and a tap in the lower left, but can't see any others. Thanks.
PS - Have these landed in NJ yet? I'd like to put my name on one, but may not be able to get down to NJ until later in the fall.

Yep just about 24" for the cushion. I went this route for a bench top, I ran the plywood straight to the side rails and the cushion fits great. Post #302

Thank you very much!
They told me they should land around Oct. 10th. You can checkout the specs on OK4wd website and place an order for them. Free shipping. Also they’re on the Alu-cab site now.

Not a super easy install. Took a lot of time to do it right and still a lot of small things to take care of.
@rino - Thanks for your awesome customer service.
@2ayne - When we going camping? Get out to the best coast.
If anyone is on the fence about making a purchase, don't be. I expected amazing quality and my expectations were blown away. These things are dialed.
Can't wait to tinker with it, and get everything dialed in.
I think I will be adding a water tank and possibly the screens(I may take a stab at making some screens first).

Can anyone provide the company of the molle panels in these photos? thanks!

Looks like Wilde Custom Gear gun safe molle panels.
Thanks! Added to the shopping list, that is definitely it.

I’d prob do the shore power plug in one of the filler panels. Lots of room in there.

I went with a NOCO GCP1E in my driver side filler panel with the 110v wire routed through a cable gland to the camper interior where the rest of my electrics are. From there it runs into its own junction box, through a Blue Sea circuit breaker and to a GFCI in my electric cabinet. In there I installed the NOCO Genius 2D charger which says it can put out 2A which should keep things topped up if I'm somewhere I can plug in. If nothing else it's nice to have shore power in the driveway when packing for a trip as it allows my to run the fridge on 110v easily while getting everything cooled down and packed up.

Anyone had a chance to use these in real rain? Any issues with leaks? I keep writing these off based off of extremely negative experiences with my AluCab canopy and leaks, but I keep coming back around to them because there are a lot of neat ideas. So who here has used them in the rain?
