RSI Smart Cap

The Front runner racks we have been using clear.

 

As an update there are a couple 5ft evoa's and 6ft evo sports available

 

I am going to pull the trigger but I not before winter. I need a new furnace first. Either way I have a long bed and It would have been close to winter anyways.. I am having trouble deciding which one to get . I am also considering an options if if choose the adv model Shelf. Is there a longer wait for options. I just ordered tires the Toyos did not pass inspection at 23k. I am hemorrhaging money. I assumed they sell at list is that a correct assumption. Or are discounts or yearly sales. Either way one is going on my 17 sport in the near future.

 

I kept it simple:
---I took the air compressor off of its flat base and bolted it up the storage bin wall with a 1/8" adhesive rubber pad underneath to reduce vibrations.
---I cut off the power cable with the battery clamps.
---Ran a fused 8awg cable from the engine bay, under the truck to the truck bed. (In retrospect, 8awg was more wire than this needed.)
---Entered the truck bed by drilling a 1" hole from the side near the front drivers side.
---Ran that cable to a hole in the storage bin to splice in to the compressor's power cord.
---I didn't run any switches to the truck cab. I just flick it on at the source and go.

Are there many iKamper owners on here? looking for the best rack to mount the RTT as low as possible and still clear the doors. I saw yesterday on Rhino Racks IG story that it looked like a really nice fit.

 

I figured that mounting my Ikamper tent to a rack would be too difficult trying to get tools and hands underneath so I used the load bars from Frontrunner.

 

That actually does look really good. And probably way cheaper than buying and entire rack to be immediately covered in a RTT...

 

Here’s a screenshot from what I was talking about. But this was for a 4Runner

 

I initially ordered the RSI rack but cancelled, opting instead for loadbars. Not sure what the footprint of the Skycamp Mini is compared to the RSI rack. I think the Ikamper is bigger and would overlap the rack edges. Plus wasn't sure how I'd get my hands under it all.

 

Looks great! What leafs are you running back there?

 

Ironman leaf pack. It's the Constant Load pack but I removed the 3rd leaf from the top to reduce rake and mellow out the ride when the truck is not loaded with gear and RTT. If I end up getting a rear bumper and swing out, I can reassess and add the extra leaf if needed.

 

I've looked at those! Between that and Deavers right now. Undecided on which stage to get (2 or 3). I have both the decked and rsi cap installed and now I'm completely level (i prefer some rake). I know if i add all my gear ill be pushing it.

 

Deaver Stg1 for me. Perfect

 

There's GFC and then there is everything else.



But really the roofnest condor looks good too.

 

Great work! Looks awesome

 

Your set-up looks sick! I have a similar set-up with the RSI on a Westcott front lift and Deaver Stage 3s waiting to be put on. I also have a clamshell tent and 270 degree awning waiting for when I return from deployment. Do you have any more pics; especially from the sides and back? I'm looking to see how much overhang there will be over the cab and sides of the bed. Also, do the doors of the RSI hit the tent?
Thanks in advance!

 

The GFC is wider than most wedge style tents. About 54" to the mounting points and the doors do not contact it by about 3-4". I have their "Aftermarket Crossbar" mounts which attach the the top of the RSI bars on the RSI feet. At some point I am going to try and remove the RSI cross bars and mount the GFC bars straight to the RSI feet which would require drilling an extra hole and painting so I've been avoiding it.

Right now the doors don't contact my awning either by about 1" but if you had a wider or thicker awning it may touch. I like how it sits now but if it happens to bump into a bag of canvas materiel I'm not overly worried about it.
