    Well, I checked, and my cuntlery is definitely not magnetic. But, yes, magnetic is the cap and makes it easy to place magnetic lighting anywhere I will need it whilst camping.

    Ordered my shell on the 4th and it came in on the 23rd. Need to get photos on the day light but I love it! Easy to throw together and great fit / finish

    I'm sure the EvoSport will be offered at some time, but they don't even show it on their website as "coming soon." I'm guessing the EvoA was the most demanded cap for the 2nd Gen short beds.

    How's the front of the RSI to truck bed sealed up?
    I have a fiberglass cap and that lip had to have a stack of weather stripping to keep the water at bay.
    Not fully sealable but it helped.

    Never did understand why a company would make a cap specifically for a model of vehicle and not make it fit all contours for body lines as well fully sealable.

    Hope the RSI came up with something.
    Also I thought RSI new caps come with latches with covers or different style of latch to seal out the freezing issue. Anything on that?

    they give a thick piece of material to help seal up the gap. So far seems good. Also latches have been top notch but haven’t had snow since putting it on

    I see you only have four clamps holding the cap to the bed. Mine only came with four so I did a warranty claim for the other two. Not sure why they are only sending out four, but in phone conversation with RSI they were adamant that there must be six. Received the other two by mail a couple of days ago. Great customer service!!

    They sent out six but it seemed like overkill. But I’ll make sure to put the other two on, thanks.

    I departed this also, but you can see some very minimal bowing in the center of the cap. Whether that's bed or cap or cap, I haven't taken the time to evaluate that. :rolleyes:

    Added more recovery gear to the molle on the gull wing doors and installed my ICEGO slider for my dual fridge/freezer.

    Took it out on the first trip this past weekend, made it easier to get things out of the bed. Especially for recoveries.

    Seals held up in the snow/slush. I’d imagine the latches will freeze tonight, so going to invest in some lock de-ice in case they need some persuasion in the morning…
