Ali Baba Cap

Here’s another honest review of an Ali Baba overland cap. In short, I’m quite pleased with the installation and quality of the product. Although it took about 3.5 months to arrive, the person I spoke to was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process. They helped me design the cap and provided regular updates on the order’s status and delivery. After shipping and taxes, I paid just under $1800, which is significantly less than what some other companies charge for similar products (like the Smart Cap or Alu Cab). The installation was relatively straightforward, except for one minor issue. I had trouble getting the cubby in the door because some of the holes didn’t align properly, and the bolts that hold the unit to the bed rails were too high, preventing the cubby from sitting securely. To fix this, I used a sawzall to trim the holes down a couple of inches and was able to secure the cubby. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the product and can’t wait to use it on future adventures. If you have been on the fence about getting one of these from overseas, I say go for it. I’d be happy to direct you to the company I went through and the person who helped coordinate it.
