New Cap

[Shanewdude]

Got the wiring done today for the third brake light, reverse and marker lights. Had to work around a trip to the pumpkin patch, the apple farm, and fixing the cottage evestrough. Ended up finishing in the dark, with a headlamp, and cold fingers and toes. I have a garage at home, but not at the cottage! I guess night was a good time to test the lights. The reverse light is very bright, looks like a ball field at night when backing up!
Anyone else get a little too obsessed when you have a project? ?

The brand is Tufcap, out of Toronto. They are just starting out, so they are selling about $1K less than any other option I found. For example, a Lear is about $4500 Can., a Smartcap is $6400 Can. This was $3500. Prices are going up in the new year; they plan on reaching a competitive price for retail, then selling wholesale to dealers.

Whereabouts in ON are you located? I'd love to meet up to get an in-person look at this cap in a real-world setting, rather than a showroom, and I'm guessing that @DukeCanBuildit would too.

Kitchener. And you?

Interestly enough, he’s in Kitchener and his family has a cottage at Sauble. It’s like we were separated at birth. ? When he was in Port Elgin earlier today, I nearly drove up the lake from Kincardine just to take a look at it.

I saw a lifted Ranger in Southampton, thought it was you, but it was grey and no cap.

I'm in Halton region, so Kitchener's not quite next door, but it's not unreasonable, either.

You might be closer to TufCap than to me!

Some of you were wondering of the finish quality, so here are some close-up pics:

That looks stout.

Awesome! That's a serious standout upgrade and your Ranger is rockin' it!

That's a great looking set up, I just got my Ranger, and go back and forth on getting a cap again, I had one with a sleeping platform on my old truck which was super helpful.

That’s sweet! Even better if I had the time to use a sleeping platform.
