Thanks for the pictures! Is yours aluminum or steel? I see both on Aliexpress.
Looks close, guy I got it from said he paid $2k for it total from there. My side are a little different than the one in the link. (Have a W on the side)
I really like it, price was right, looks good, secure, and it’s lightweight. Not happy about how dark the back glass is, hoping it’s just dirty or I can remove the tint
It looks great. I actually managed to order one with the side glass windows. AND, I also managed to get a tracking number so it'll be interesting to see how often than gets updated. I do know that it'll be departing Wednesday and delivery is tentatively scheduled for early next month. YAY. Lol
I got tracking #s on mine also.They tell you when it went to shipper and when it will sail. My ship was postponed by a week. Then nothing across the ocean (talk about a slow boat from China!) Then once it hits the states usually get 1 update a day. Good luck!
Awesome. Yeah, I figured the updates were going to be pretty minimal until it got to the US. Thank you. Have a good day.
Great pics and tips. Mine is scheduled to arrive in the US by the 24th of March. I ordered the aluminum one with the side windows. I am excited to get it and progress my Tremor build. Do you have any advice other than what you have mentioned already? Pro tips? Anything you wish you had done differently with hindsight being 20/20 vision? Lol.The one I got came from AliExpress
Just a tad different than alibaba
Gonna take off and try to redo the seal tomorrow.
I “bent” the six tie downs in the middle, as they wouldn’t clamp down anything as the top hit the bottom of the topper, really couldn’t get them tight without what I did
Got them tight and then took off the front clamp set up to put my tie down rails back in (required some modifications to get the holes lined up on both the tie down rails and the brackets: carbide bit on Dremel does wonders)
And now can only get one of the two bolts back in (holes misaligned) also have to hook up the brake light, but not sure about doing it since it’s a white and not red light? Might just hook it up to my cargo lights? Actually can’t hook it up to brake lights here in Ohio since it’s not red, cargo lights it’s gonna be
Lots of pics
That's defnitely false. All in mine was $1457.50, please show me where I can buy something similar for that price.
you're going to be assembling yours, I didn't have to go thru any of that, just installing the finished product. but I did find a couple spots that they didn't get the adhesive down, and light (water) was coming thru on the inside (corners in the top of the cap). I got a tube of Permatex to cover them up. Best advice I have for installing is to not tighten down any clamps completely until you have them all tightened down a little. The brackets that mount to the front and back of the truck bed need to have some modification done to them to get the holes to line up so it can bolt together properly (I'm missing a bolt on each side of the front, but it's not going anywhere. Also, I've had some of the nuts come loose, so I've been using blue loctite on them as I find them. Hope to have some advice on wiring the brake light on the topper soon, I'm waiting on a "3rd brake light controller" to show up in the mail. Good luck and keep us informed.
Awesome, Yeah, I forgot you picked yours up from someone who already had it. Will do, I may just add the loctite as I go. I did see in the pics where you had to bend the mounting brackets a little. That's a good tip and when assembling stuff like this I always get it "together" completely before really cranking everything tight. Thank you for the information and I will probably make a thread of my own once I get the assembly started.
FYI, the assembly instructions are quite amusing............kind of a "here's some pictures, figure it out" thing.
Awesome. I would've been surprised if they were anything but that. LOL.
