    - I received my RSI EVO A yesterday.

    I plan to get the assembly started this weekend.

    I'll be happy to post my process of prep, sealing and install as I go. - But I have to get it done first. I am starting this thread reserving some slots for my posts - but I am hoping to get the benefit of the experience of those who went before me...

    Any big tips from those of you who have come before?? Please post below!

    - I recall someone saying it was best to leave the rear panel (the one with the access door) off until the cap is on the truck, for example...

    Did anyone use silicone on the joints?

    Any problem areas / activities to watch out for?

    Thanks!

    Follow the provided instructions and videos on tube to the letter and you'll be just fine. Just make sure you have plenty a help when you flip it and put it on your truck.
