Arrived in perfect condition. Top quality
I was initially torn between a hard shell cover and a soft topper with a rack. After careful consideration, I decided on the soft topper paired with the Datin Metal Fab cage. Several factors influenced my decision, including cost, materials, and ease of installation.
The Datin Metal Fab cage is made from high-quality, durable materials that ensure long-lasting performance. It’s built tough to withstand the rigors of overland use, and it can be easily modified in a variety of ways to fit different needs, whether for carrying gear, adding storage, or mounting additional accessories like lights or a rooftop tent.
One of the best features is how easy it is to remove or reattach the cage as needed. For example, when towing a fifth wheel or needing more bed space, I can simply take the cage off and reinstall it when I’m ready to head out on an adventure. The installation process itself was quick and straightforward, making this an excellent option for anyone who values flexibility and simplicity.
When comparing this setup to the SmartCap, the deciding factors were the price and the ability to modify it to my exact needs. The Datin Metal Fab cage offers unparalleled flexibility and durability, making it the ideal choice for my overland setup.
Datin Metal Fab is absolutely awesome! Their products are top-notch, and their customer service is outstanding. They’re always there to help with any questions or concerns, making the entire experience even better. I couldn’t be happier with my decision, and I highly recommend their products to anyone looking for quality and reliability!
i have had this for a few months now, i wanted to wait to leave a review until i had used the rack.
this thing is awesome! i have seen some racks that dont cover the bed rails, this leaves the softtopper rails with gaps, this rack has no such problem. i have had this in the rain, wind and dust and no issues with the outside getting in.
i love this rack for its ease of install and removal. if i want my bed back i can take everything out my self.awesome product, built tough and does what i need!
Bought my rack a few months ago for my Ram 3500. Just got time to install. Firstly, it sets slightly higher then the cab which I think is a plus and on average it is 1" above the softtopper. Instructions could have been a little clearer however if you have basic skills easy to figuire out. DON'T tighten bolts till everything installed then tighten. I plan on using mine for camping gear storage. I think by adding molle panels on the side it makes it rock solid. So far so good. I like the looks of it. Just don't get discouraged like I did when I saw all the bolts to install, almost like an Erector Set. Be breaking it in real soon and so far it looks like a winner. I did see another company that sells a similar item. The purchasing process and cost turned me off. Hear, I could get the basic package easily and add a few things. Cost wise. I would have to say good price.
Thanks to the Engineers at Datin because NO mods needed.
Thank you,
