    RSI SmartCap vs Leer vs ARE for build out?

    yes it is listed on their website they list both shipping weight and assembled weight. I can not even tell it is on there, on road or off road. The positive vent feature works as advertised too. Very little dust inside the topper.

    Am I being ridiculous?

    I just got back from Moab and my average for complete trip which included off roading was 14.5 mpg hand figured. The stretch from Pocatello to Moab was 18mpg. This with 35's and topper. Going I filled in Missoula, Pocatello and again in Moab and coming back same just in reverse. 758 miles one...

    Time for new rubber

    I am a Toyo tire fan and not sure what wheel size you are looking at but Toyo RT's are rugged yet quiet and smooth.

    Ram Power Wagon

    I had a GFC and they do not seal very well. Also they are heavier than advertised. I liked mine but it was not ideal for me. this it driving away with the guy I sold it to. He drove all the way from Austin Texas to Bozeman MT to pick it up.

    Ram Power Wagon

    unfortunately I did not get many action photos as wife is 5'3" and 60yoa was not happy getting in and out and it was 100F out. No I think better shocks and 37's would be much better and if the Thuren or Carli is within someone's budget they would definitely be the way to go. I have been to moab...

    Ram Power Wagon

    just got back from Moab 1831 miles total. 1516 round trip and 315 miles on trails and getting to the trails. used 127.613 gallons total. so overall average was 14.35 mpg. I was happy with that as trail mpg is like 5 mpg. winds can be brutal coming and going and lots of 80mph driving. This is...

    Ram Power Wagon

    As was stated above plus electric sway bar disconnect up front which really helps and also slightly shorter wheelbase. I'm in Moab right now and as capable as a pw is they need upgrades no doubt about it.

    Ram Power Wagon

    yes stock suspension and that is with AEV wheels which are considered to have about the perfect offset +27mm. Lift really does not play as big of role to rubbing as people think. if you go off road you will most likely need to trim. If just running around you will probably be ok as a little...

    Ram Power Wagon

    that entirely (pun) depends on where he wants to go. It is funny but I swap back and forth from 35's to stock depending on what I am doing, and I am getting ready to head to Moab and I am really wishing I had 37's this time. I rub slightly with 35's when fully articulated under certain...

    I just looked at the RSI website and if you don't need glass side windows you can get the EVOa now. It is $300 cheaper. I like the glass in the gull wings but I can see some advantages to solid side panels in the gull wings. One advantage is the EVOa comes with mole panels inside the gull...

    If you want a guarantee of getting one take the drive. I know of one other power wagon owner in Montana who is interested in the one in Billings. i don’t imagine it will last too long.

    RSI SmartCap order status

    I have gone over mine with a fine tooth comb (actually my buddy had one for a year and we camp together so spent a lot of time around it) and it is high quality. I asked my buddy if he would get another if he got another truck(he sold his truck and ordered a Sprinter 4x4) and he said...

    Curious what your paint is like, any photos? The paint on mine looks great as did my buddies. His was about a year old when he sold his rig. Mine is new so hopefully it holds up.
