The build in detail
Room upwards
The Alu-Cab Icarus pop-up roof creates room upwards. Raised, it gives you standing height and a sleeping and living area; folded down, the Defender stays compact.
Room for gear
We adapted the existing Front Runner roof rack to fit the new pop-up roof, so the storage for gear and accessories stays.
So the roof opens easily
So the Icarus roof still opens easily and stays up despite the extra weight of the roof rack, we fitted reinforced gas struts (Alu-Cab 800N).
