Everyone knows what a hard shell is and how beneficial it can be, but if you don’t know what a SmartCap is you may just be missing out. I got lucky enough to find one of these on facebook marketplace for a good deal. The quality of these is truly amazing. The weather sealing (if done correctly) holds up very well. The pop up doors are my favorite when it comes to this hard shell. These doors even lock on the side. My only complaint is the rubber that sits on the locking mechanism can break off when cold. So far my experience with the Smartcap has been good but I’ll keep everyone updated on problems and future experiences!

I've made a similar thread like this on my page, but that one was on ditch lights. In the thread, I mentioned a guy named Mike, who makes DIY YouTube videos for owners to learn how to work on their trucks.

Now, this is another video he has on his page on how to install the M&R dual lightbar kit. It's a short 10-minute video with a step-by-step guide on how to go about the whole process, including wiring and powering it up too.

I love what he does, and I'm sure he has helped a lot of owners learn some basic skills they need to carry out simple mods, such as this, on their trucks. For anyone who missed my first thread, here's a link to the video he made on dual lightbar kit installation YouTube Video
