Stainless fasteners without any anti seize is a recipe for thread galling.

I have the RSI Smartcap and my fridge is in the same location. I use a Rough Country slide as its affordable and nice and smooth. I have Molle panels on the back and driver side. I never thought of airing down the spare to get it in there..no idea why - but now i know what i have to do. I use my Jackery to power the fridge. Jackery is connected to the AC outlet. Nice video as always Casey!

Just back from PNW, wow what a blast! Yeah, I have a molle panel inside my bed too. It has a shovel lashed to it along with a couple of jerry cans and a folding toilet. The molle panels are terrific for things you don't want flying around the bed of the truck. Edit: I didn't know Chef Jon was with you guys at PNW, otherwise he would have got lunch too. Sorry, man!

It’s coming along. I feel your pain a bit, as a truck bed is so different from a wrangler storage-wise. I went with a bedslide rather than a small fridge slide, but your huuuuuge spare obviously wouldn’t fit (I’m on baby 37’s so my spare still fits underneath). Even then, my Truma 69 fridge is a little tall and I can only 1/2 open the lid. First world problems for sure 😂

Getting personal, but I’m 6’2” and sadly the old toes were hitting the roof of a Capit tent when I tried one out. Too bad, cause the price point was great (and I liked the brown canvas version).

Honestly I’ve heard great things from guys who don’t carry a spare and only have a very extensive tire repair kit; plugs, patches, glues, valve stems, bead lock bolts, the works essentially. Save you a ton of weight and room

Solid video dude! When wrapping the wiring with electrical tape, I found using plastic wiring conduit from lordco was a game changer. Super cheap and easier to access in case you need to change the wiring or fix a problem. Just a thought!
@Casey250Ай бұрын
You mean wire loom stuff? it gets gross and cracks over long exposure to heat. I try to stick to tessa tape which keeps more of an OEM look and is simple to peel off and redo if needed.

Get a heavy duty steel bumper with tire rack to hold the spare. That’s definitely what I would recommend. It will free up all the bed space. 😉👍🏻

Probably just poor quality, some sort of unrated stainless fasteners or overtorqued during install. Stainless is very sensitive to torque...

Curious why you didn’t go with the Modcap Cabin instead? That way you would have access to your bed from inside the truck bed. Cost perhaps?
@Casey2502 ай бұрын
A few reasons. The mod cap just came out, not sure they are in Canada yet. It's heavy. It really doesn't do well for storing my spare. It's heavier. I can't test rtts on it. I really like the Mod cap, but maybe for a different build.
