This thread is the first time I have seen this.... interested.Info is rather limited, but if you have specific questions we're happy to investigate and get back to you.
Hi Tom,This thread is the first time I have seen this.... interested.
Can the bed replacement system be done by the truck owner or will the vehicle have to be taken to ??? to be installed? Is the factory receiver kept and used? backup sensors/camera kept? weight breakdown? I actually searched copart for another ranger that got rear ended...sorry for all the questions.
I way considering a drawer system fr ARB with this cap. Do you have pictures of the draw system with the cap fitted and where you had to cut? Also did you get the extra floor kit for your drawer kit? I know it is a little off topic but it may help others here.Hi Ray - I’ll update once I get this thing out of the garage! I’m assuming I’ll need to plug the gap at the front to keep out weather. Chris mentioned above he’d sort out the brake light cable. My only other feedback so far is that I was expecting this to clamp onto the top of the bed rather than having the mounting brackets, based on this pic on the website.
I have an ARB drawer in the back and the side floor will now need some cutouts around the brackets. Something to consider if you have or are planning to have drawers in the back.
Too my understanding most full size trucks in Australia and possibly NZ come with flat beds from the factory. Mid size trucks might have the option but it is still up to the owner if they want to change the bed for a different style.Hi Tom,
Spent two months in New Zealand and Australia. In NZ Ranger is the #1 vehicle. In Australia it is Toyota, but most have no pickup box and have such a flat bed. Seems to be cultural... I am guessing the Aussie's order with a box delete and put these flat beds on the back. Also, snorkels abound for the Dust...
best,

Here it is with the FR rack on. I like the combo. Definitely needs the extra leaf in the back, as sitting about an inch lower than the front with the weight of the RSI cap and ARB drawer. I’m waiting on some Icon rear shocks before doing this (back ordered forever...), if anyone wants to sell me some!Agree on the rack - I’m gettting a low profile Front Runner rack installed in the next couple of weeks. I’ll update when I have images.
Here is the ARB drawer (RDRF1355 + half of the MA19FKEK side floor kit) with the RSI cap installedI way considering a drawer system fr ARB with this cap.

that’s terrible for such an expensive product. Everything should have been designed for the truck. Did the RSI company advise you that you’ll need to splice?In other news, the harness RSI sent for the 3rd brake light doesn't work with the LED taillights. I ended up getting it spliced into the taillights.
RSI will take care of the splicing cost. I think they are working on a new harness that will work with the LED lights, so it will be more plug and play.that’s terrible for such an expensive product.
