Is THIS Modular Truck Cap WORTH Your Money?

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

That shop is insane! I like the look of these smart caps, makes the truck look even more rugged.

[@buildlifeoverland]

I agree, thanks

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Good video. I'm a bit torn. I think the one with the glass sides all around looks better, though this doesn't look bad, but this one is clearly solid and safe, isn't going to be broken into, not like glass on the sides could be, and the glass on the rear on this one can be gotten reinforced too. My heart says get the glass all around, but my head says get this one. Decisions. Decisions.

[@Noah_hammies]

Great video! I also have a 24 ZR2 and have been waiting for someone to make this exact video to help me make a decision on the Smartcap

[@buildlifeoverland]

It's a great truck cap!

[@jameslaw3740]

Chevy, Ford, Toyota, or other trucks, this is a pricey cap for its size.....but compared to a new leer or ARE , this is a descent looking cap with pop up sides for easy access.......only thing is the price for people to complain about, but check out other new caps before you do.......would like a update in six months to a year on how you like it 👍👍🇨🇦

[@PureCountryof91]

There are various manufacturers in China making an almost identical product for less than half of the price.

[@flhsmv6617]

Where did you get those steak pipe brackets?

[@rottiejakeluke]

Sweet shop you have. If I won’t a lotto I would buy one like it.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Just take out a massive loan and spend the next 30 years paying it off LOL!

[@2birddogsandawolfdog945]

Shop like that on an acre is over a mil now 😭

If you ever find yourself needing to work with the tape adhesive like this gasket; 3M makes an adhesive promoter called “3M Primer 94 Pen”. I keep a few on hand as they are relatively inexpensive. You can get a 10 pack for around $15 usd. They make a phenomenal difference with gasket style adhesives. I found them when adding gasket seals to the tailgate of my truck over the factory spray in bed liner. I didn’t like the gap between the bed & tailgate on my 24 Frontier. Way too easy to drop stuff right through. 😂

[@buildlifeoverland]

Good to know!

[@ronfisher4751]

Did you get it shipped directly to your home? I've heard there is a handling fee and you have to ship to a local canopy dealer and pickup? I've heard too that with the metal roof, these get very hot inside when out in the sun. Maybe some sheet insulation on the inside of the roof.

[@billsoderholm3125]

$4,000 plus!!!!!!! NO way!

[@mini2nut67]

Great video, love the shop (jelly!). I just placed my order for its competitor, the OVS Expedition bed cap, for my 2024 Tacoma at a 15% discount. $4400 plus tax for the SmartCap vs. $2,289 “out the door” for the Expedition. They are both made with stainless and powder coated but the Expedition cap has no side windows. NOTE: The SmartCap is manufactured in the USA. OVS imports the 304 stainless steel Expedition cap from China.

[@JohnSmith-k1x]

great video I liked & subscribed see you in the next one great content thanks

[@damoncrawford1245]

Love that shop brother!! Thanks for the video. Just got my GMC Canyon and trying to decide what route I will go. Is the one you purchased the EVOa Adventure?

[@buildlifeoverland]

Thanks, It is the adventure.

[@stlc3415]

Great straight forward video. Did you happen to attach the rear stop light that RSi provided? I have a roll-n-lok but was considering upgrading to the RSi.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Yeah it has the light on it but mine didn't have the harness in the box when I opened it. They have since sent and I installed it, took about 5 minutes

[@cavtj1]

Pretty cool. How does the third brake light hook up?

[@dennisgehrke9549]

They supply a pigtail that ties into your driver side brake light.

[@cavtj1]

@@dennisgehrke9549 Okay, thanks!

[@AriePharmD]

@Build life overland @01:10 Are the plastic pieces failure points or are they pretty durable?

[@buildlifeoverland]

They are pretty durable. I don't think they would break off.

[@johnsanfilippo2516]

Great vid and looking forward to seeing what ya do next. On the fence about this bed cap for my Gladiator. Do you plan to attach anything else, like an awning?

[@buildlifeoverland]

I will probably run a roof top tent at some point. Maybe an awning. I think I am going to put some shelves and what not inside first.

[@michaelval7264]

I have the Canyon AT4X with the AEV tire mounted in the bed. Do these caps clear the tire? Looks like there is room on the sides, was wondering about height?

[@buildlifeoverland]

Not sure. I would suspect it does but I'd check with them

[@MiggyZ-88]

This model is called, Smart Cap Visibility 85% Negative-Dark Shade 😝

[@buildlife]

That's allot words to remember!

[@westEOD]

Today I learned: The plate carriers and packs I used in Iraq and Afghanistan (MOLLE) were just glorified peg boards. 🤯😂

[@buildlifeoverland]

I have some pretty valuable stuff on my peg board!

[@jameselliott7104]

I looked at 2 brands very similar to each other - Smart Cap and Expedition. I saw where Expedition quality was better. I chose Expedition for my Dodge Dakota SLT.

[@damoncrawford1245]

What made the quality better on the Expedition? I do see it is significantly cheaper in price.

[@buildlifeoverland]

Nice. Sounds like the right decision!

[@timsgta]

The real question is, is the Chevy Colorado worth your money?

[@buildlifeoverland]

I think so. Most new trucks are a bad investment but you have to go to work for something!

[@jamesfarmer6961]

Heads Up!! I work For a fire dept and our chiefs put these on their trucks... Well after going on a Vegetation fire for weeks driving on dirt roads the back of the truck had more dust and dirt in the back than a sand box!! They had preached how good they were and no more dust will get in the back of the trucks protecting all equipment, I LMAO!! Piece of shits!!! No to mention the water leaks... Good luck!

[@billwang4086]

Lost me at “my Chevy”

[@buildlifeoverland]

See ya!

[@warrenkernot4522]

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

[@billwang4086]

@ 2 years from now the door won’t be able to hit me bc it’s a Chevy probably fall apart

[@user-vf6ru8gm9p]

4400 and you have to assemble it. Gtfoh

[@robertthomas1286]

Your first mistake is owning a Chevy.

[@buildlifeoverland]

You can keep your Ford.

[@awwwshucks443]

I have a '19 Colorado... Great little truck

[@chuckgoodman3828]

Sorry, but not sorry. That cap looks like 💩

[@Problematicbehavior]

I disagree looks dope

[@chuckgoodman3828]

@@ProblematicbehaviorYou definitely gotta be on dope if you disagree.😁

[@buildlifeoverland]

Gotta love KZbin and peoples need to have an opinion!

[@DrSinisster]

Id say it looks good as well. You might be the Minority on that. Good thing that theres a Cap for you that you’ll like. What is it that doesn’t look right for you?
