The much anticipated RSi SMARTCAP International | FITMENT & Initial Impressions epsiode
A good new year to you all as I bring you the first episode of what promises to be a great start to our adventures and the year.
I head off to the headquarters of RSi and SMARTCAP International in Pietermaritzburg, KZN, South Africa, where we get the " Overlanding Game Changer " product fitted to the 4x4ventures Ford Ranger. The SMART TRAY and CANOPY is a welcome addition, and guaranteed to get your adventurous spirit ignited.
Stay tuned as we get this one decked out and prepped in the coming episodes.

If this is a regular setup in Australia, it is still extremely rare in South Africa. What I’m really interested in are numbers. Have you gained weight? Have you got more cargo space? And maybe a harder question, have you lowered your center of gravity? Did I understand right if I say you rig is heavier but you have more space and you have now a lower center of gravity ? But I still hope we could get the numbers. It’s really interesting because we are going to compare the classic South African setup with the RSI setup. When we watch an Australian tray + canopy, there is never a comparison. So we are not even sure it’s better. So, I guess we are all waiting for the answers... in the next episode. This episode and the ones to follow may/will change the way we build our rig in South Africa (may because it depends on the conclusions).

Hi Blaise, thanks for your comment. It's all coming mate. The build of the tray, comparisons between old setup and new, power upgrades, what are the differences and the WHY'S etc are stretched over 3 maybe 4 episodes, with a full review happening this year too. Its a massive upgrade and I'm on your page, but I have a plan to do it the way I see fit. Hope it lines up with your expectations. We are on the same page, and I'm sure you will appreciate the outcomes and efforts. Can't wait to take you on the journey mate. It is an interesting one and hopefully a first done the right way

I think that the tray and canopy combo's are the best type of setup for both work and play. I had the privilege of going through one of these trays when they first came out, and have been itching for something like this since then. Really keen on seeing the full setup and systems you install. Brilliant move bud, keep it up 😁👍🏻

Congratulations! What a dream setup. I’m looking forward to seeing how you use it out in the backcountry and future reviews on its performance. I’m in the market for a new canopy and am leaning heavily toward purchasing the Alu-Cab because a few reviews I’ve seen on RU-vid complain about water leak issues with the RSI. It’s a beautiful product but an unjustified purchase if the leaking issues are true. Regardless I’m really happy for you and can’t wait to watch you put the entire setup through its paces. Cheers from the USA! 🍻

Hi and thank you for the kind words mate. Yes, plenty of content coming regarding the tray and canopy unit. It is an expensive unit without a doubt. Hopefully the upcoming episodes will shed some light on the need to knows of this unit and how it works for me in the context of wild overlanding. I've used the unit for 6 months thus far, and still smiling. Stay tuned in, I'm sure you will enjoy this year's series. Cheers
