RSi SmartCap (Photo Heavy)

@msommer1420 what load bars are you running on that? That's the same setup I'm going for. I don't have need for a full flat rack at the moment, but I do haul an extension ladder or a canoe often enough.

 

They are the RSI load bars

 

Nice- thanks for the reference- I am now sitting about where yours does. One thing I found is that when I moved my cap back to cover the tailgate I got a lot more resistance from the gasket rubbing on the tailgate- something some others had mentioned either in this thread or the other but I hadn't noticed when the cap was flush with the front bedrail. So I pushed it forward again and kinda split the difference- less resistance from the gasket but more tailgate rail exposed. Like I said, I think the cap is just 1" too short. I wonder if down the road we'll see longer roofs and mid panels for these caps, but so far I've been told by all parties that I did not receive the prototype length.

I like that you went for it and took the whole sticker off! was it caught at all under the latches? I was thinking of removing just the logo section and putting something like the 4wave decal by @Tacovinyl see https://tacovinyl.com/products/4wave-decal?variant=31375849062503) in its place- but hey, looks clean with just the metal there!


@Pride of Wallingford I'll plug for @OffroadAlliance.com too- super easy to work with and good communication from those guys. This cap is easy to build and install, so unless you don't have 2 hours and 2 sets of hands on a Saturday or Sunday, there's no need to have a "professional" charge you more for both cap and install.

 

@acupunk my gasket seems like have a fair amount of compression. I just wish I could open the tailgate without opening the rear canopy hatch lol oh well.

I think that vinyl would look dope! The rsi vinyl was installed before the latches so it’s under the latch gaskets. Instead of removing the latches I carefully scored the sticker. Can’t even tell it’s there.

 

Let us know if we can help! No markup whatsoever and free shipping. No sales tax either WA.

 

@OffroadAlliance.com Already placed an order with you! No sales tax saved me almost $375. Can’t wait!

 

Does anyone here have the Toyota deck rail system in their truck bed? Wondering if it will work or interfere with the cap.

 

@Pride of Wallingford my truck sat outside in the rain last night and no leaks! I know you were wondering about that and it poured in Monroe last night.

 

It uses the rail system for the clamps that hold it down

 

Okay awesome, thought I had remembered seeing that somewhere but couldn’t find anything. Any detailed pictures of that setup would be great if you find the time. Thanks!

 

@unsub1 the first post of this thread has a photo of the clamps integrated into the rail. There's a cleat installed in the photo too, looks like plenty of clearance.

 

HAHAHA! Good grief. I've come full circle. Knew I saw that somewhere. Thanks.

 

Just got the long bed version. I want to get those load bars too. They look like the will work really well.

 

I loved working with you all @OffroadAlliance.com.

 

could you please post more photos of the long bed version please, haven’t seen actual photos of the long bed version.

 

Here are a few photos, I will take more soon!

 

Here are a few more... let me know if you want to see something specific.

 

Here are some photos from a couple days ago. I will try and take better ones when I have a chance.

 

Looks sick @Hanswdeuce!

 

Looks awesome. How about an inside view?
