Hi,
Is there still room for one more order? Also, would you be able to tell me if I would be able to install a Prinsu Pro Top Rack on the Cap?

Shouldn’t be a problem if you get this one and appropriate “L” brackets.

Yes it is still open to order.

Well, sounds good in concept, but have owned pick-up trucks since he early 90's; some with full cap (dog loved it), some with a partial cap (rear window pass-through, looked cool, leaked like a sieve), some with a tonneau cover. I prefer the tonneau cover for easier access to all sides of the bed and the ability to use the air space above the bed for really tall objects. But thanks, anyway!

Update 05/03

The current order has been shipped out. As for the next round, we will just need one more to start the production if anyone is interested.

I have just placed a deposit. When will the next round be?

Thank you. I was looking into this but wasn't sure with the mountain brackets.

We have enough order now. I will be placing this order tomorrow.

Ver. 2.0 AUTOFITPRO topper ideas:
I'm posting on here to continue a email thread I had started with Jeff the owner. I think there is a lot cleaner and easier way to attach this topper to the bed rails without drills holes or losing the functionality of your tonneau covers.

-Just remove the pre existing top bed rail tie down screws and and use a little longer bolts to secure the topper. You can still use your original tie downs as topper clamps, maintaining the use of the tie down as well.
-Jeff would have to make a simple adjustment to the topper design and delete the cutout design that currently allows the tie down to sit within the topper. Instead just have a couple oblong adjustment holes that line up with the factory mounting points on the bed rail.
-A little longer bolts and maybe some lock washers will be needed but those are dirt cheap at your local hardware store, or Jeff can have them included in the kit.

SECOND IDEA:
- Make the Topper's luggage rack removable or just an option all together but provide mounting holes for proprietary adjustable tracks. No offense Jeff, but the luggage racks look like electrical channel welded to the top. I'd like to have the option to not have them at all or holes to mount whatever the heck clients prefer.

-Everything else looks amazing so far. Hopefully these ideas don't come across as harsh but I just see a few ways to make this topper even better that may cut costs and overall be better performing.

Cheers!

Plastic or Alloy Spacers blocks can also be designed or used inside/underneath the Rivian factory tie down mounting points to take up the gap created once removed.

The aero changes dramatically even if the cap is just raised by an inch or two which affects the efficiency by quite a bit. I recall install the crossbar on the roof and my consumption went from 2.3mile/kwh down to ~ 2.1mile/kwh. It may not seem significant but every so often you needed that last mile to get home.

Do the side doors come with molle panels on the inside? This build looks at lot like the Openroad truck cap and it comes with molle panels on the inside side doors.

Yes the door has the molle panel except for the sliding window option.

Might have missed it mentioned already but what is the shipping cost total? Would be west coast for me

Hey Jeff - I bought one of these last year, and have loved it! However, I'm still looking for the best way to wire in the brake light (previous post shows instructions for an older R1T, and wiring harness has changed!).

Any guidance?

I used this post as guidance. I was able to do it without having to remove the rear seats, but it made it a little more challenging. But still way less effort overall.
