I've had mine on our 17 Ram for over a year now and we just love it!! Remember to retighten everything in about 6 months. Looks great and seems strong.
Wow, great job! Very detailed install video! The smart cap not only looks amazing aesthetically, but the functionality can’t be beat! Using the “wasted” space for the table install location is exactly what the community thrives for. When we get loaded down with gear, it’s nice to know you have a spot out of the way to store the table! Great job, Smart cap!
Thanks! Yeah, the stowaway table is super nice to have and is really easy to get to even when the bed is full of gear! Definitely one of my many favorite features about the SmartCap!
Love this detailed install and insight on the SmartCap! Just got mine on my Tundra and am loving it as well. Thanks for the great content!
Heck yeah! That's awesome! Glad you liked the video too! Hope all is well Dan!
I’ve had my SmartCap EVO Sport for about a year and a half. Didn’t go together as easily. I remember putting it on my truck a week before my first trip out west to Colorado and Utah. The whole trip I was worried about the cap falling apart. I slept in the bed of my Tacoma with the tailgate and the SmartCap open for a week. Two additional trips out west and countless trail runs later and it’s still together on the truck
Aw man! I'm sorry to hear it didnt go together as easily! Glad to hear it's held up this long though! I was a little nervous when I put my RTT on top but I feel like the smartcap is definitely a better option over a fiberglass cap that may crack or break apart.
I would recommend getting something else. I’ve had mine since Feb 24. Customer Service does not exist, you get sent to voice mail and no return calls. The new dual release latches that come with the caps are extremely flawed. They will not address the issue or fix them. The Red emergency latch locking bar is to short and the spring is too weak. I’ve had a complete panel open up on the highway, that’s 2 locks. Both locks were closed and physically locked. You can test it yourself with the latch closed and locked slap the panel just above the lock it will open up on its own. Very easy to have everything in your locked topper stolen by just slapping the panel. They refuse to address this issue. These locks are going to kill someone when open up on the highway and your cargo falls out if not secured.
Ok filmmaking goals as always Scotty! I want to learn how to make that rad logo transition, and I'm definitely adopting the phrase, 'tickle the subscribe button' 😝
Thanks lady!! Lol!!
Looks great. Two potential issues I am hoping you can share some thoughts about now that you've used it for a year: Does it leak water, and if so where, including does it ever leak water thru the vent up top? How hot does it get inside in the heat of the summer? I ask this because I could go weeks at a time without ever needing to open it.
Subbed. Your truck looks great! I installed the SmartCap on my 2023 TRD Off-Road last weekend and love it. Time for some upgraded tires. What lift and tires are you running?
No water leak issues around the windows? Another year in review showed big problems with leaking and around the positive pressure air intake.
I have a question, I’m looking at getting smart cap for my Tacoma, my question for you is. Can you unlock the locks from inside the truck bed?
nope, you get locked in there somehow you better be able to call for help.
I got one of the sides on easy. The other side tabs wont go in as far. Still have big gaps. Any tips?
I took a rubber mallet and tapped it in. It took a good amount of taps but it eventurally got snug into place.
