I have the RSI! I wanted something durable (dealt with too many cracked fiberglass ones) and it had all the right features (gullwings, window port for the dog, pressure vent, many bin options that I’m too broke to buy). I didn’t realize it is also magnetic until later- I hang all kinds of hooks...
I’m 6’1 mostly legs and very comfortable but I don’t rely on the armrest on the door or the center console (too low for my seating position). I pull my steering wheel all the way out and up, and my seat jacked up tall. Most people don’t like my seating position when they are in the drivers seat...
I came in knowing that I’d buy a Saber… but seeing it side by side to my Rapid Red, I chose the RR. If I bought today, it would be between RR and the green.
Here is what it looks like. I bought the magnets from amazon and I have one on the outside flap (hot glued) and one between the flap and the frame- so 6 total.
They are very solid caps as long as you retorque to spec (I think they were in INCH/LBS) and check the struts. The window leaked but RSI. Sent me new gaskets and they no longer leak (my dog tore the original).
Granger for me. I was more worried about bad electronics (the head unit controls ac, reverse cam, etc and it costs more than the plan to replace) so I got the everything plan. Great price and easy to deal with.
7ft is a lot hanging out of the bed- dangerous for many reasons already mentioned. I’ve had to move a 12’ ladder in my old ranger by putting one end on the tailgate and strapping it with a couple feet off the tailgate and the other end resting on the cab (use a towel or blanket). Bundle, tape...
I don’t know why there are all these holes either- seems like a big oversight. They even have metal flaps to block you from covering the holes??‍♂️
I used a bunch of foam tape to stuff the holes and it still weeps but stays relatively dry.
We went up to Mauna Kea a couple weeks back. Not a whole lot of snow that day, but the current storm has brought a lot more snow! I can’t wait to go back up!
