i wished somebody would just mimic the roof ribbing and the same contour of the rear of the hardtop. oh well, my alu-cab should be here in 1-12 weeks. =)

Really, RSI, RLD, Alu Cab are all going to be awesome for whoever own them. Once these things are more commonly roaming around maybe 2-3 people can do a side by side shootout........I won't hold my breath.
Yeah they are all awesome products! And I agree, prob will be a while before we see them all in one place tho, the aftermarket has been pretty slow with these for whatever reason.

Looks pretty nice but I’m committed to my RLD. Only another 6 weeks (give or take 4 months)!

I think RSI and RLD are the same company? Or sister companies?

I honestly can't decide which one I like more. But I wont pull the trigger on either until I get confirmation about whether this these or any canopy will work with the soft top without rubbing/rattling/contacting.

Here are some more pictures RSi released today.

Rhino Adventure Gear just emailed me and said the container with my canopy is in Seattle. Hopefully It will clear customs shortly and then RLD will send it down to them. Hopefully only a few more weeks now.

Wonder if yours is a different shipment ... the one Tom shared with me isn't supposed to arrive in Seattle until April 28th ... and I was told it's the first batch of V2.

While we do both come out of South Africa, we are not the same company, nor are we sister companies. There is no affiliation whatsoever. RSi is new to North America, but we've been manufacturing truck accessories since 2007. We came out with our first one-piece design stainless steel caps in 2013 and our first modular SmartCaps in 2015. Our most recent release, the SmartCap EVO, was launched in early 2019. As near as we can tell, RLD started around the end of 2014.

We don't have those rendered out yet, but let us see what we can do.
Any chance of seeing some shots with the side windows with sliders?

What is the coating material on these units? RSI needs it own thread.
