I’ve done a quick review of mine so far.
Seriously appreciate the measurements... i want to mount my spare up against the cab to the driver side so I can have a half cab passenger front and I was curious if a 37" would have issues getting in there. i can also get an idea of how I want to build my rack since my cap's ship date is TBD.

Also really dig the camera angles... after seeing the RSI on a truck this week, I feel even better about how well the lines on the RLD complement the hard top.

Great video , thanks for adding the measurements.

Can I ask for one other measurement, I have the Frontrunner interior rack from my JKU that I am hoping will fit between the windows for my Wolf packs. it is 58" long

Thank You
Sure thing here you go

Thanks for the video - did you use the RLD load bars? Also any detail on the tie into the brake lights?
I have to RLD bars but we are mounting the tent directly to the canopy it self. For the brake light it’s just tied into the drivers back light

Awesome post! Once i get my Alu-Cab i'll take same measurements, and then make a compare/contract thread. HOpefully I can get an RSI owner to do the same.

great video and thanks for the measurements for the group here! One thing I recommend you check is that last photo/measurement. I think mine is 40" from RLD ceiling to bed but the actual mouth was more like 35" from tailgate ridge to upper opening. Just want to make sure people are not expecting 40" at the opening.

I'll get some later this afternoon she's at Rebel Off road at the moment getting the tent fitted.
Nice photos and video overview. Looking forward to mine. Did you get yours installed at Rhino Adventure Gear in San Marcos? What shipment was yours in?

What tent did you get? have an iKamoer Skycamp that I mounted on a temporary Thule TracRac while I was waiting for the RLD. I’m thinking of mounting the tent directly to the three bars pressed in to the top of the RLD, no crossbarsto get as low as possible. Will need to drill through the honeycomb tent floor to match up with the prescribed holes in the RLD. Thoughts on that?

I did yes, Joost and his team was awesome and the installation looks very tidy. We are mounting the SmittyBilt Overlander XL directly to the canopy (no cross bars) or at least they are going to attempt to do that. I’ll go pick her up soon and will post some photos. It’s a massive tent so it will be interesting to see how far over the cab it’s hanging.

Awesome. I’m assuming yours came in an earlier shipment? Last I spoke to him the estimate was 5/4 in Seattle, not SoCal.

My Skycamp is the full size version so I’m expecting a good 20” or so overhang.

Here it is right now on the Thule. Will probably push it further forward so the back is flush with the canopy.

I ordered the canopy with the white doors and I’m really looking forward to it. I think the RLD works especially well with the white/black theme.
