Do you know where they got the infill for the ladder steps to make them stairs? Looks great.

Not sure. Prob an Alucab accessory? I'd search the GP Factor site to find it, or contact them.

OK4WD video of doing a roof conversion. Added benefit! They pull the door seals and reseal maybe solving the boot washer syndrome!

They also casually mention their plug-and-play replacement bumper (center portion for an aftermarket winch) starting at 12:42.

It doesn't look like the roof conversion can take the AluCab 270 awning.

The Alucab 270 awning will mount to the roof conversion. This is per the OK4WD guys at Overland Expo West in Flagstaff.

That's great news!

They may become a throwaway option but you still have 3-4 inches more headroom there.

Hello, I’m new. I will hit the intro later but I’m doing research right now and you are saying that with the windows I was not planning to purchase you actually get more headroom? I know this is not the thread for that question and obviously I have not finished reading the thread. I will do that momentarily. But the conversion has put a few more percentage towards my decision to purchase whether this year or next spring. I definitely need all the headroom I can get.

Slightly more headroom, maybe. Certainly no less. The safari windows also deliver the potential for more storage space for sunglasses, gloves, etc. (Aftermarket shelf options.) Which, BTW, do *not* reduce the headroom. And, FWIW, I've yet to bump my head on those molle shelves despite vigorously leaping in and out of the cab and I was worried about that.

More headroom for sure. But by most accounts more wind noise too. Not that this will apply if the Alucab conversion is installed.

Thank you to everyone in this particular thread. It was very enlightening especially all the videos. Is there any word about @alucab on the quartermaster? I am close to making a decision but now must decide between which flavor Ineos along with should I convert to this company…

thank you for the reply especially The very clear photo it is very informative and brings up many questions not related to this thread. I'm going to need an appointment for a test drive. I do love those shelves and my only concern for height is above the headrest depending on where my seat lines up that crossmember may be a problem.
