Just picked this up from off-road alliance. Super well made, and offroad alliance customer service was awesome!

Not sure exactly how I'm going to use it but I wanted to have a safer ride for the dogs and didnt feel like spending $1500 on dog crates. I figure this plus a couple normal crates should work well. Plus I can put kayaks on top.

I have a utility trailer with a roof top tent on it and Im thinking about putting the kids in the bed cap at night and the wife and I in the roof top tent. Sleeping next to a 4 and 5 year old is not always a good nights sleep haha.

Curious! How easy is install/uninstall? How much does it weigh?

It wasn't too bad putting it together. Comes in 5 pieces but I used my buddy and our wives to put lift on since you cant slide it. Took us about an hour all together. The hard part it the side pieces sag before you put the end pieces on so its definitely a 2 person job.
There were some nuts missing and I had to run to home depot to get them. Was supposed to get reimbursed but never did but its like $4.

Removing it I plan to do a garage lift and a couple 2x4s, but havent done it yet. its only 6 clamps so should be easy.

My only gripe is the third brake light for the cap. The harness was missing from the box and the one RSI sent me goes into the 7 pin connector which puts the truck into tow mode and throws a bunch of codes. Super frustrating. I also ordered a rack for it from offroad alliance that was supposed to come in Dec 12th but cant get a response from them on if its in yet.

would totally get one of these if i didn't have to worry about getting into my underground parking lot in NYC.. Does this increase the height of the truck ? especially when going up and down a steep driveway with limited clearance? i know i barely made it into a a garage once with a inch or so of clearance.. lol
