Just had this exact issue with my passenger rear. Slide bolts were gunked up. Took them out, cleaned with brake cleaner and re-greased with brake grease to fix. Also had to swap pads (and rotors) as the inner pad was worn down to almost nothing.
Had what I thought was a stuck parking brake impacting rear passenger wheel. Turns out the caliper pins were gunked up to the point I had the interior pad dragging. Easy fix to take them off, clean and re-grease, though unfortunately I hadn't noticed so needed to replace rotors and pads.
To be clear none of this is proof. I understand all of the above but RSI claims to produce their product in their own factory locations in SA and Texas. Not in an outsourced Chinese factory. Now either they are flat out lying about this or they aren’t. You are claiming they are lying and I...
Do you have some proof of this? RSI is mass producing their caps at a Chinese factory and is directly selling unbranded versions of the same caps they are selling to rest of world through Alibaba? Not calling you a liar but can’t blindly take the word of an employee for a competitor brand.
I have been super happy with my RSI Smartcap. I don't baby it and have never had a single issue with it other than the known issue of crud getting into locks (solved by some caps they sent). It wasn't cheap, but I like the looks, it is well made, and it delivered to my door and wasn't too...
Ended up putting a smartcap on truck so need to sell this cover. Comes with all hardware, drain hoses.
Will throw in a free passenger side swing case.
Asking $450 for local pickup only.
Used about 5k miles. Will throw in a bottle of dry filter cleaner spray. Took it off to put back to stock, but worked great when I had it on. Asking $200 shipped.
They work just fine and have the benefit of being much lighter weight than traditional snatch block with the trade off of a bit friction and not being mid line attachable. I just picked up a new one from Yankum Ropes that is pretty nice.
7’ should be plenty. Not sure if your control box is going to need to be relocated or not (or if jt can be) but if so you will need cable for that as well. I used a relocation kit from a company called Vice Designs to relocate control box from my Superwinch to a spot under the hood...
