RSI Smartcap Evo

[pyton]

In my search for a shell for my truck I ended up ordering a ARE CX Revo but a few days later I came across the RSI Smartcap Evo and was really blown away by the quality and what it offered over the standard fiberglass shells. After trying to find more info and even reaching out directly to RSI I couldn't find anything beyond the studio shots from them. Regardless i went out on a limb and snagged one. 

 

Overall this is by far the nicest shell i've seen and the quality is well worth it. 

 

Happy to share detailed photos or more info if anyone is interested

Great looking shell!  I’ve been looking into them.  How much taller than the cab is the shell?

Please share more pictures!

I’ve been looking into these as well but have found limited info. I did email them asking about the rear view mirror camera that I have in my truck but of course it will not work with this cap or any other cap manufactured right now. That’s the only thing holding me back on ordering a cap. It does look kick ass on your truck though. Post some more pictures when possible.

Would love some feedback on the fit/finish, what options you went with and off course more pics!  Thanks for testing for us @pyton

Mind posting more pics?

Sadly this looks like another case of either a troll (this was first and only post) or another poster who posts and never checks back in or provides follow up information. I checked the poster's profile and he/she/they/them hasn't visited the site since February.

 

I just checked the RSI website and it shows them on backorder for the 5'8" bed.

found some pics for ya guys....

 

i looked into this last month. its made in australia or new zealand? dealer support is thin and actual knowledge is as well. my big concern would be warranty issues and/or needed parts later.. just my 2 cents.

Had one on my last F150.  Good and bad.  Strength is unreal, I had mounted a CVT RTT on a full length rack and traveled all over Alaska.  Main issues- leaks at the window seals.  RSI provided new seals that supposedly fix the issue, sold the truck and removed the cap so didn't test it.  Latches also easily freeze with the slightest bit of moisture and are impossible to open.  Overall I will buy another one for my Sierra when it arrives, not many caps on the market can handle that kind of weight and abuse.
