At our workshop we specialise in the installation of Alu-Cab equipment, Icarus Pop-Tops, Shadow Awnings, and vehicle-mounted shower tents, delivering clean, secure, expedition-ready installations for campervans, 4x4s and overland vehicles.
If you’re upgrading your Land Rover Defender with an Alu-Cab Icarus roof or pop-top system, you want it fitted properly — by people who know the vehicle, the product, and the details that matter.

Why Choose the Alu-Cab Icarus Roof?
The Alu-Cab Icarus roof is widely regarded as one of the best pop-top and roof solutions available for the Defender — designed for serious travel, harsh environments, and long-term reliability.
Built to Last
- Manufactured from powder-coated aluminium, not GRP or plastic
- Extremely strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant
- Designed for expedition use and off-road abuse
Unlike traditional fibreglass roofs, the Icarus won’t crack, fade, or flex over time.
Low-Profile, Defender-Correct Design
- Maintains the classic Defender silhouette
- Low closed height for garages, ferries, and daily driving
- Clean, factory-style appearance when shut
It looks like it belongs on the vehicle — not an afterthought.
Practical Pop-Top Functionality
- Easy lift mechanism
- Excellent ventilation and airflow
- Large sleeping area 2.35m long by 125cm wide
- Keep your bedding permanently on the bed
- Includes storage area above the cab
- Built in ceiling lighting and reading lights
- Compatible with awnings, shower tents, and overland accessories
Whether you’re building a full camper or just adding versatility, the Icarus roof is a rock-solid foundation.
