Hi everyone, I am super interested in the cap only version that GFC has in the pipeline, my plan for the truck is being able to sleep in the bed while carrying cargos on top. I have not seen a lot of cargo boxes on top of the GFC, so I am wondering if you could show me how you carry cargo boxes on the roof top of the GFC camper? (assuming the carrying method would be similar between the camper and cap only version).
Thanks in advance!
Thank you! How much does that weight when loaded? I was thinking of either doing a large aerodynamic cargo box or some boxy ones (looks more bad ass lol). thing with boxy ones is I may have to create a roof platform (rhino rack, etc) for them. also, I plan on mounting at least one 175watt rigid solar panel on top.
As per GFC, the roof can support up to 500 pounds when closed so I would think it would be similar for the cap…. I carry about 60-70 pounds in that box

Thank you! I like your setup a lot, is that the regular GFC beef bar? Do you have a close up photo of how the solar panels are mounted in between? Seems like very similar to how I have mine mounted currently.
They’re the Wumbo Bars from AL Offroad, they work but I’m not completely satisfied with them as they had to be tweaked a bit
I mounted the z brackets to the underside of the crossbars and then mounted the solar panels…. They’re not flush so I can’t really put anything on 3/4 of the roof so working on a solution for that

@5.7_Cong - I am intrigued by the reference to the cap only in the pipeline. Did some googling and found this:
But not much more. Any other links or info you can point me to would be very appreciated. I am in the same boat and have been looking at Alu-cab. Would love to see what GFC does.
thank you!

That’s funny because that is my post on tundra forum. I am new to this gfc forum is there a DM function?
They have been teasing the cap on their instagram story’s quite a bit.

Yes, and I thought they were supposed to release them last week but for some reason they got pushed back.
Very interested in putting the cap on my F150

Yea it is between alucab, smartcap, RLD, and GFC. I personally like the one piece design of the Alucab and GFC but they are both not out yet for our full size trucks. Alucabs canopy for full size is also supposed to be released in October 2022.
I see that you already have a camper version, is there any reason you are interested in the cap only now?
It’d allow me to use superlite on wifes car if needed and it’d remove most wind noise from everyday driving.

So I guess even with the rhino rack wind fairing it still creates a good amount of noise?
I personally have close to no wind noise on my ZR2
I’m the same, no real wind noise that I didn’t have before with Yakima bars on the truck. Actually it’s quieter.

That was the prototype used for testing if I recall
