Troopy Alucab pop tops anyone?

[60toyetero]

Hey guy I just picked up a Troopy. I'm looking at installing a color matched Alucab Hercules top. Anybody interest in going for it maybe we can get a group discount and def cheaper on shipment.

What would one cost shipped to the US?

Ok4WD are already the stockists of Alucab Hercules in the US.

Are you interested in getting one?

... pop tops are around 6k USD

If that includes fitment then it is cheaper than in ZA

Are you interested in getting one? I got a quote from 4x4 mega world, their Hercules pop tops and their 110 pop tops are around 6k USD

6k plus shipping from ZA?

Depending on shipping and import duties, I may be interested.

Are you in Cape town ZA? 88,772.00 RAND is what I got quoted for the pop top. if you are in ZA I am very interested in talking to you see if you could be of assistance on this matter.

Yes I am in Cape Town.

 

[Tentsontop]

Sounds like a deal. I was quoted around 11K for top and installation.

For 3500 I'll rent my own forklift and sheet metal sheers.

Yup, not too difficult with a lifting device.

Yeah I wouldn't trust any of my people to lift my $6,000 item over their head

Get a gantry crane and a couple straps. HF sells one that is wide enough and tall enough to straddle a vehicle and lift the top. They also come in handy pulling engines, installing roof racks, taking the top off a 40/45 etc.

Is this easy... There is too much OVERLAND charges and complication that is being added in the USA

Four guys and a couple pieces of pvc to rest the top on is all that is needed; the top isn't that heavy.

The biggest obstacle with the install is wrapping your head around cutting the top off your truck. I have some detailed instructions that I received after the fact that I can probably dig up.

I sure wouldn't think alucab would be keen on circumventing their n American distributor.

The top is expensive but being able to walk around inside your truck is a game changer.
