RLD Shell - Paint Cracking, Falling Off

I haven't checked recently. They strung me along for a long time. That's shitty. I'm going to have to find a way to get some paint on mine.

 

theres salt in the air/fog being so close to the ocean. That’s all I can think it could be. Still, for 6k I expect more.

 

RLD is having issues all the way around. Not good.
@Mike's Custom Toys maybe can elaborate more.

 

Yeah seems like they are giving up.

 

Wow OP sorry to hear all of this.

 

This is the last response I was able to get from RLD.

 

The truck isn't rusting.

 

No. I have a 2016 Tundra. No rust.

 

This is from the local rep.

I agree with him. The factory built it and made the mistake/workmanship. It's their name on the side of the shell.

 

What a cop out. Who is Tom?

 

Yeah so I'd the truck isn't rusting, why is the shell? The paint isn't falling off my truck, just the shell.

It's not external. The product is bad.

 

yeah I agree with Tom. 206 is Seattle right? I believe that’s where Rhino Adventure gear gets their RLD caps. I’m still waiting for them to reply. I’ll keep you posted. I’ve also seen others on Jeep forums post of similar issues.

 

I'm going to do a rust check tomorrow. I'm 7 miles from the beach.

 

I can't stop thinking about how we aren't going to be able to to get any parts. If a window or door breaks we have super expensive bed rack.

 

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I’m really starting to regret this purchase. I imagine it would be hard to sue a foreign company. Rust, paint chipping, window leakage is stuff I’d expect after several years of use.

 

You can sue but you can't really make them pay. Lawyers cost money too.

 

its hard to see in the photos. But the rust is around the window crevices.

 

Should of went with a smart cap

 

I looked at them, but wasn’t impressed. If I had to do it again I’d get an ARE or something along those lines. Or would hold off and find something used and blast it with bed liner.

 

I was thinking about fixing mine with bed liner too. I would rather have anything else. I like the way the rld looks but it isn't worth it.
