AluCab sitting on the roof on 2x6s and maybe this weekend get installed.
New OEM glass and weatherstrip installed today.

Got the hooks for the tracks on the roof. They were too thick to fit so I had to grind them a bit. Are there different sizes?
Checked with AluCab and I can lift from there. Maybe this weekend 15 tubes of Sika...

Big day today. AluCab mounted. Since the body never had the roof installed (and cut) and was deformed, we spent 2 hours trying to fit it, grinding a bit the bottom, and slightly bending to widen the roof. It was stress initially but at the end I'm satisfied. Could not have done it with out help of friends and family. We used the winch of the 40 for the heavy lifting.

On a different note, some have asked me about the heater. It's a great deal and does not require much more to complete the system. It provides instatant hot water and heating the cab/tent.
