    I went with the Rexing M2.

    Works great for me. Mounted the camera near the hole you use to lower your spare tire.

    Maiden voyage over the weekend. Went to Zion and Bryce canyon. Did around 40 miles in hikes lol. But here are some pics and I definitely made note of changes I want to make. FYI, didn't know this, but the eco flow delta has Bluetooth/wifi capabilities.

    Any other options for carrying snowboards & fishing poles? Was gonna get the load bars and mount snowboard racks on them but trying to avoid climbing that high up all the time

    Thanks! It’s a voltmeter for now. I wanted the victron or simarine but this was the cost effective (not nearly as accurate I know) option for now

    There is probably a number of DIY ways you go for those if you don't want to go on the roof. Either by mounting things to the outside of the side doors (or rear door) by using 80/20 or square tubing mounted to the doors and then mount your snowboard or rod holders to those. Or use the spots to the left & right of the rear door in the same manner.

    Trying to decide between the explorer canopy or rsi smart cap. Have heard horror stories about the RSI leaking. I do like that the Alu-Cab is aluminum. No camper needed as I’ll be putting my tent up too

    Does anyone here have an UpTop overland roof rack on the cab with Explorer Canopy with RTT? Just wondering what height of load bar (feet) I should get to have enough clearance towards the UpTop roof rack (I have a short bed and have 6 feet RTT length)? Would 40 mm enough or do I need 60 mm? Awaiting for my canopy and trying to order accessories. Thanks!

    I don't have an UpTop rack but here's my set up: 5' bed, 6' tent, and 40mm load bars are high enough to clear my cab rack. The back of the canopy is so vertical that if you center your tent like I have the overhang off the rear is very minimal.

    I weighed this decision for months myself. The packaging from AluCab is phenomenal, and I can't say I felt like I was missing out on having to assemble the thing before installing it on my truck.

    RLD also makes a nice looking one, in the same price range as these. I had considered them at one time before going with the camper.

    https://www.rlddesignusa.com/p/toyota/tacoma/tacoma-truck-cap-canopy/

    If the Explorer is built anything like the Canopy Camper (and I assume it is) I feel like it has to be way stouter construction than the RSI, but I am not engineer.

    I looked at both… lead time and leaks kept me away from RSI. Ended up really liking the look of the AluCab—didn’t look as good in photos as it does in real life to me (ymmv of course). Dealer near me had Explorer and an RTT in stock so that’s what I went with. Figured the whole system is designed by AluCab to work together versus me piecing stuff together.
