Alu-Cab Roof Conversions Canada
Alu-Cab Roof Conversions
Turn Your 4x4 Into a Camper.
Alu-Cab roof conversions replace the factory roof with a purpose-built aluminium pop-top, creating integrated sleeping space and interior standing room while preserving the vehicle as a capable expedition platform.
More Than a Rooftop Tent
The Roof Becomes the Camper.
A conventional rooftop tent sits on top of the vehicle. An Alu-Cab roof conversion becomes part of it. The factory roof is replaced or structurally modified to create a connected sleeping and living system with access from inside the vehicle.
Sleep Above
Lower the sleeping platform and the roof becomes a proper two-person sleeping space with an integrated mattress and room to keep suitable bedding inside.
Stand Below
Raise the sleeping platform and the vehicle interior opens vertically, creating standing room for changing, organizing gear and living out of the vehicle.
Travel Integrated
Closed, the conversion follows the vehicle's roofline more closely than a conventional rooftop tent and keeps the camper permanently connected to the vehicle.
Four Roof Conversions. One Standard.
Choose Your Platform.
Alu-Cab builds four dedicated roof-conversion systems. Icarus and Silenus represent the primary Canadian applications, while Hercules and Thor provide solutions for imported Toyota Land Cruiser platforms.
Icarus Roof Conversion
The classic Defender transformed into an integrated two-person camper with internal access, standing room and a roof conversion engineered specifically around the 110.
Silenus Roof Conversion
A purpose-built Grenadier conversion with an exceptionally long sleeping platform, interior standing room, integrated power, lighting and rooftop cargo capability.
Hercules Roof Conversion
Designed around the legendary Land Cruiser Troopy, Hercules creates an integrated camper while retaining the rugged simplicity and expedition capability that made the 75 and 78 Series famous.
Thor Roof Conversion
Built specifically for the five-door Land Cruiser 76, Thor adds a two-person sleeping platform and interior standing space without turning the vehicle into a conventional camper van.
Compare the Range
Different Vehicles. Same Idea.
Every Alu-Cab roof conversion is engineered around a specific vehicle. Dimensions, roof loading and installation methods vary, so compatibility should always be confirmed before planning a build.

| Icarus | Land Rover Defender 110 | 180 mm | 2370 x 1250 mm | 150 kg dynamic | Available |
| Silenus | INEOS Grenadier | Vehicle-specific conversion | 2588 x 1180 mm | 50 kg roof cargo | Available |
| Hercules | Land Cruiser 75 / 78 Troopy | 140 mm | 2400 x 1160 mm | 150 kg dynamic | Special Order |
| Thor | Land Cruiser 76 | 270 mm | 2220 x 1140 mm | 50 kg | Special Order |
Why a Roof Conversion?
Build the Vehicle Around the Way You Travel.
Roof conversions appeal to travellers who want the mobility of a 4x4 with more of the functionality of an integrated camper.
Move between the vehicle interior and sleeping area without relying on an exterior ladder.
Lift the sleeping platform and gain usable vertical space inside the vehicle at camp.
The bed becomes part of the vehicle rather than a separate tent mounted above it.
Suitable bedding can remain packed inside many Alu-Cab roof conversions when the roof is closed.
Integrated rails and vehicle-specific mounting systems allow compatible load bars, solar equipment and selected cargo.
Add compatible Shadow Awnings, tables, Shower Cubes, load bars and vehicle-specific accessories to build a complete expedition setup.

Professional Roof Conversion Support in Canada.
A roof conversion is a major vehicle modification. Cap-it can help review compatibility, plan the complete system, coordinate professional installation and support the vehicle after the build.
Hercules and Thor applications are uncommon in Canada because their donor vehicles were not widely sold here. If you own an imported Land Cruiser 75, 76 or 78 Series, contact Cap-it with your vehicle details and we can review availability and fitment requirements.
