New canopy I found on Alibaba

[jazpdx]

I am glad I found this thread. I've emailing these guys trying to see if they maybe assembled in the US. The packing 1-4 is hows it shipped. Pieces and parts. Just a warning if you can go through another company besides alibaba do it. I had a bad experience with them, they sell watches too.

Still waiting on the actual weight of the aluminum Bahrenpoint canopy. Too new... But, they will sell just one, so that's good to know.

Note: I'm still in talks with Wildtop about my rack. They want to send me 6 (up from 4) new clamps and rubber feet. I'm still not sure this is adequate for a Raptor driven like a Raptor (sans jumps). Carrying speed and some heavy braking on a 2/10 trail should not cause your clamps to bend.

Trail in question, in case you've never been to Capitol Reef. Notice how technical it isn't.

I've seen the installation video on the BahrenPoint canopy. The installation kit includes an aluminum bar + insulation strip for the bulkhead gap, brackets that bolt to the bed using the tie down points, and the canopy itself bolts to those. No customizations unless you order 10, so no chance to swap out the glass side doors for solid. (Edit: Also looks like it comes with pocket shims).

Any thoughts from y'all before I pull the trigger on one?

Update: I was quoted $3400 for 1 aluminum canopy. Going to ask about a single steel one, just to see what they come back with. Edit: $757 for steel.

757 is cheap.

This is the link to the steel version. I'm waiting on a shipping quote for it.

Ordered the steel canopy from Turnkeen/BahrenPoint today. Once I get a chance to install it, I'll make a thread going over everything in case anyone else is interested, and maybe get a group buy going for either version.

Awesome!

Update: I was told that the initial shipping quote was wrong, and that I'll need to cough up an additional $400 - 3 days after paying. I'm not comfortable with that, so I'm exploring options.
