That is correct. We recommend some type of 9/16” (or slightly thicker) high-density rubber that will have a little bit of give to protect the D Rubber and lessen vibration.
The Positive Pressure Air Vent has been tested in the harshest of African conditions and works very well. As for the mounting pads, we are trying to source a domestic supply while we await a parts shipment from South Africa. In the meantime, any dense rubber material that is approximately 1.5” square x 9/16” (or slightly thicker), mounted at the rear corners will work. It’s only purpose is to act as a spacer.
Once again, sorry for the delayed response. The Universal Roof Rails use an M8 stainless steel square weld nut that slides into the track. You can then use whatever length bolt you need to mount your gear. Note, ours are a bit larger as most manufacturers like Front Runner or Thule seem to use M6 hardware.
The interior roof-mounted rivnuts take an M8x20 bolt.
No, Offroad Alliance is a dealer, not our distributor. They have been very popular with customers on the forums.
That is correct. Off-road Alliance is a Keystone dealer, not our distributor.
Gah! Why didn’t I think of that! Easy fix for this weekend.
Where did you get the pads? Or what did you search?Installation took me 3 hrs and 20 mins by myself.
Boxes were in great shape, all parts accounted for. Side panels connected to the roof rather easily. The connections for the front and rear are a pain in the ass by yourself working on the floor. Daddy needs a back rub... Got it all done and then freaked out a little when flipping it on my own, thought I rolled the gasket off, but I was just paranoid, all good.
I used an old bike lift bolted to the rafters to lift the topper and backed under it. A little sketchy, thought the bolts might pull or the rope might break. Spent very little time hanging!!!
Gasket survived looping webbing through the side windows.
Got dark before I could get pictures, I'll do a video walk around tomorrow. I did get a few extra 1/2" pads and 1/8" pads, and just placed a cut piece of the 1/8" pads with the 1/2" ones under the topper in the rear corners. Fitment is perfect, gasket seems to be fine with that clearance.
One problem I might have: I can see daylight under the front panel near the cab. I might have misread the instructions, edit... I did and put the extra foam on the topper not the bed lip. Whoops... I'll get that corrected tomorrow. Thanks for all the tips and advice, this thread has been very helpful.
For those that are still waiting, it's worth it! Trust me. This unit is as hyped!!!
They shipped with the topper. The 1/8" pads are longer and prevent the clamp from moving and scratching the topper. I took the extra 1/8" and cut in half and place underneath with the 1/2" pad. Once I'm convinced this will work I'll super glue the 1/8" pad to the 1/2" that came with tape already affixed. interested in how much this will settle and if that affects gasket fitment.
That's pretty ingenuitive. And, there was enough surface area on the top to prevent scratching?
Hard top and cap line x paint matched? That looks killer!Finally received my RSI smart-cap a couple of weeks ago. After shipping mishap and receiving one of the two boxes happy to report it’s much better than I expected. Just finished a road trip last week to -7 temperatures in Idaho and operated absolutely perfectly. For those of you that already have it, you’ll understand this has so many great features and attention to detail it has next to no leakage inside. I had a ARE shell on my 2020 gladiator. The constantly leaking of dust on my side windows and in my back window. The team at off-road alliance have been so amazing and I will be a lifelong customer of theirs based on how they handle this transaction and the customer service In trying to find the missing box. I am waiting on the kitchen and the drawers and then I’ll work on lighting and I’ll update you with some pictures.
Nice Rig. What fender flares do you have? Is that the stock LED DLR/Turn signal?Finally received my RSI smart-cap a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you. No fab fours that I painted to match the truck
