INTRODUCING THE LANDCRUISER SUPER CAP 80

One of our primary objectives was to create a space that feels nice and open, and so that the user can sleep in either direction, without feeling closed in or claustrophobic, and to achieve this we looked at the classic solutions, the Westy wedge top.  

But classic Westy scissor systems didn't open the space up enough, so we went back to the drawing board, and completely designed our own scissors from scratch, to allow for the massive 18" of quadrilateral wedge room.  

We then took our super-cap scissors to the next level by manufacturing them from stainless steel, adding hardened replaceable hardware with oilite bushings, to provide a smooth and secure scissor hinge mechanism that is also serviceable should the need arise.

To compliment our 18" quadrilateral wedge, we took the height of the rear opening just as importantly.  

Boasting over 7'8" of standing room at the rear of the Super-cap, this allows for changing clothes, stretching, and plenty of room to get up into the the loft bed, without fear of banging your head.  Using heavy duty nitrogen struts, we are able to lift the top into it's highest position, and then lock it in the upwards position if needed or if you're carrying extra weight on the integrated roof racks.

This is not your standard loft bed, this is a thoughtfully designed piece of engineering.  Made from aluminum, with l-track slots and stash holes laser cut into place, this bed platform has 4 parts, designed to be very durable with almost zero flex or distortion.  With set up and tear down possible within under a minute, you will love the various functions of this system.  The front of the platform high-pivots out of the way, and the rear two smaller platforms lift independently, to allow driver or passenger side access to the bed space.  Once all the elements are lifted there is only a 4" reduction in space within the Super-cap, and the pneumatics used are designed to not only lift the bed platform, but also the mattress and standard bedding.

Custom mattress pads included.

Zero leaks, and that's important!  

Our Super-cap has a proprietary double bulb trim that is made by Trim-Lok, that fits snugly around the perimeter, and once the top is latched down, water cannot pass this trim.  Behind that trim is the chassis of the Super-cap, this is sealed with urethane for another barrier against water.  Tie that all in with waterproof fabric that we use and your adventures will be dry and cozy.

Implementing a precision cnc tube bending machine, along with the talent of some welding artists, we are able to create an internal skeleton, that is not only light, but incredibly stiff.  

With integrated internal laser cut l-track slots, the skeleton not only holds the beautiful fiberglass top securely, but also allows for you to hang anything you want or need on the inside of the pop-top, thus increasing useable space even more.

Just as importantly as the structure of the the pop-top, is the fabric we chose to make the walls from.  We opted for a X-Pac laminated duck  fabric, that is waterproof, windproof and breathable, we also taped and sealed all the seams, and installed YKK zippers.  Bug screens, windows and insulation pads can be either zippered or velcro'd into place depending on the needs and the seasons.

The entire wall system can be removed by one person should the needs arise too.

With our years of experience working closely with Tufport in Canada, we have learned some very important things about composites.

We choose a fiberglass composite and it's tough...real tough!  It is lightweight yet strong.  You can beat on it with a baseball bat and it won't dent, it maintains it's structural properties.  Fiberglass can be molded to intricate shapes, unlike some metals, and with heat, it won't 'oil can' giving it the un-uniform appearance of other tops.  Fiberglass has amazing thermal properties compared to metal, with a natural R5 barrier at 5/16" thick, our tops do not transfer heat anywhere close to metal, then add in our insulation and you have a market leading product.  

Oh, and it doesn't leak, that's why boats are made from it.
