My Evo Sport arrived and worth the wait. This cap is built like a tank and looks amazing. I ended up purchasing 7/8 inch rubber shims for the tailgate corners and used the supplied 13mm shims under the clamps and after slight compression from the clamps, the clearance with the rubber seals at...

Wow! Looks great! Makes me excited for mine (on freight truck for delivery). I’m curious too about fitment and if it has new thicker shims. Rubber rear seal good?

My EvoSport has shipped! Mine was part of the delivery at port on or about 5/26. It is in freight transit to me now. Hope others have their’s coming too. Today is 81 days since order date.

My RSI SmartCap is on order. It was a bit more than others, but the stainless steel and design sold it for me. in my view, nothing looks better than the RSI on the Jeep. It has a rugged appearance just like the Gladiator.

I ordered March 13...I’m hoping it arrives at end of month. I understand a shipment may be arriving soon - are you hearing different?

I went with BedRug and zero regrets. Super durable and easy on the knees. I have a tonneau cover now, but EvoSport cap on order. The BedRug looks great too and made to fit exactly. $163 and can be found at https://bedrug.com/bedrug-classic-bed-mat/2020/jeep/gladiator

Seems like a good plan. The compression on the gasket is noticeable. How was the 3/4 inch height before compression? Seems if you could achieve 3/4” height after compression that it would be near ideal.

Great feedback on cap placement. My initial plan was to move the cap back as far as possible as the cap seems to look best this way, but you are right that the tailgate cap does have a large lip on it. I will definitely move the cap forward a half inch to ensure the rubber door gasket doesn’t...

This is certainly good news. The shims arrived today and I kinda stress tested them a bit (still waiting on cap). I placed one of the 7/8” (22mm) shims in a vice to test the compression. I torqued the vice fairly hard and it compressed down to ~1/2”. That is definitely not thick enough to...

Good deal. Your solution is the most encouraging. Here’s the product I purchased from Amazon. Fingers crossed these shims work...based on your experience, I’m hopeful.

Encouraging to see you may have found a solution. I too ordered 7/8” hard rubber shims and they arrive tomorrow and my cap should arrive in a couple weeks. The shims may compress to 3/4” like yours. I’m planning to put these shims under each of the 6 clamps (and not just the 2 closest to the...

I’m still waiting on my Evo Sport - maybe another 2 weeks. I went ahead and purchased 22mm (7/8 inch) rubber shims and thinking I can compress them to 18 or 19mm with clamps. If that’s still too high, there are a couple thin layers of rubber I can peel back that may get me to ~15mm. We know...

Great insight. Appreciate it. RSI should respond.

Thanks all for the feedback on this shim issue. I have no idea with the delivery of my cap in a few weeks (I hope) if the issue will be corrected. I found 2”x2” rubber shims on Amazon (DiversiTech MP2-E E.V.A. Anti-Vibration Pad, 2" x 2" x 7/8" , Pack of 4). They are 7/8” thick and may...

I’m still waiting on my Evo Sport. I initially thought the higher shim height was for better clearance at the top corners of the tailgate where the rubber gasket extends an inch or two beyond the truck bed, but now based on the pic above, I’m wondering if the shim issue also impacts the rubber...

I appreciate it. I did hear back from a rep at 7:30 this evening. The Northridge rep tells me that RSI is expecting a Gladiator shipment on 5/26 and again on 6/15. Encouraging news at least. Fingers crossed that my cap is on one of those shipments.

So I ordered my RSI Evo Sport on 3/13 from Northridge 4x4 and was told then the lead time was 30 days. I’m now at nearly 60 days and nobody has any idea when the cap will ship. I reached out to Northridge 4x4 a few times and they keep telling me they will check on it (but never get back to...

Waiting for my Evo Sport and RSI load bars to arrive. Excited about the additional functionality this will offer me. Question for those that installed the load bars: any issue with garage Door clearance with load bars installed? Assuming most of us have a standard height garage door. Seems it...

Thanks for the update! For those of us that ordered in early March, were we included in the March/April shipment or was this shipment pushed out to May?

Has anybody heard anything more on the latest shipment of the EVO Sport? Wondering if the shipment has arrived in USA or still in transit?
