An open pickup bed leaves your tools exposed to the weather and to anyone walking past the job site. Revolution Upfitting installs SmartCap truck caps for contractors, service crews, and fleets across Omaha, NE and Lincoln, NE — modular caps built from stainless steel, with gullwing side doors that open the bed from the curb, roof rails ready for a ladder rack, and storage accessories that organize everything inside. We match the model and accessories to your truck and your trade, then fit the cap so it seals, latches, and carries the way it was designed to.

Why Working Pickups Are Switching to Stainless Caps

A truck cap used to mean a fiberglass shell and a tailgate you had to crawl through. A SmartCap works differently, and for a crew that lives out of the bed, the differences show up every day:

Stainless Steel Where Fiberglass Would Be

Every door and panel on a SmartCap is automotive-grade stainless steel. That changes what a cap is for: instead of a shell that keeps rain off, you get a lockable, weather-sealed enclosure that stands up to job-site knocks and makes the bed a far harder target for a smash-and-grab.

Side Doors That Open the Whole Bed

Gullwing side doors lift on each side of the cap, and SmartCap rates the openings roughly 17% taller than a typical fiberglass cap. Your crew reaches tools from the curb instead of climbing into the bed or crawling in from the tailgate — a small change that adds up across every stop in a day.

A Roof That Works as Hard as the Bed

Universal roof rails come standard, so the cap can carry a SmartCap rack or a rack you already own. Ladders, conduit, and long stock ride up top while the enclosed bed stays free for tools and materials. Pair it with a ladder rack matched to your loads and the whole truck is working.

Modular Storage Inside the Cap

The SmartSystem accessory line turns the cap into organized storage: Gullwing-Bins such as the Full-Bin, Half Bin, and Drawer-Bin mount behind the side doors, and MOLLE panels hold gear on the walls. You choose the layout for how your trade works instead of piling everything on the bed floor.

Commercial or Defender, Matched to the Job

The SmartCap EVO Commercial pairs stainless side doors with a full glass rear door for rear visibility, and an optional security screen adds protection behind the glass. The EVO Defender goes solid stainless all the way around, double-walled gullwing doors and a solid rear door included. We help you pick the one that fits your cargo and your parking lot.

A Family Shop That Installs It Right

A cap only works if it seals, latches, and sits square on the bed rails. Our family-owned team fits every cap as if the truck were ours, and the caps we install carry their manufacturer's backing on top of our own workmanship — see how our warranty coverage works.

Tell Us About Your Truck and What It Carries

The quote form asks for your pickup's year, make, model, cab, and bed length, plus what the truck hauls in a normal week — tools, materials, and anything that rides on the roof. That is enough for us to recommend a SmartCap model and a starting accessory package. Many crews pair a cap with a ladder rack on the roof rails, drawer storage on the bed floor, or secure TruckVault drawers for the most valuable gear. Tell us the whole picture and we will plan the pieces together.

How We Put a SmartCap on Your Truck

Every cap installation follows the same sequence, because a cap that does not sit square will not seal or latch the way it should. If upfitting is new to you, our guide to what vehicle upfitting involves is a useful first read.

1

Truck and Workload Review

We start at your pickup, not a brochure. What rides in the bed, what rides on the roof, and how often the crew gets in and out decide which cap and accessories make sense.

Confirm year, make, model, cab, and bed length on your exact truck

Note existing bed liners, rails, boxes, or racks that affect mounting

Ask what the bed carries in a typical week and what must stay locked

Talk through roof loads — ladders, conduit, or long material

Discuss how often you need the full, open bed for tall loads

Flag anything about the truck that could complicate fitment

2

Model and Accessory Selection

With real answers in hand, we match a SmartCap model and accessory package to the way you work instead of ordering the first cap that fits.

Weigh the EVO Commercial against the EVO Defender for your cargo

Choose between a glass rear door and a solid stainless rear door

Plan Gullwing-Bins, drawers, and MOLLE panels for your tool layout

Pick a roof rack style if the cap will carry ladders or long stock

Consider the optional security screen for glass-door models

Review the full package with you before anything is ordered

3

Bed Prep and Fit Check

A cap seals and latches only as well as it sits on the bed. We prove the fit before anything is tightened down.

Clean and inspect bed rails where the cap will mount

Set the cap and confirm alignment along the full length of the bed

Check clearance at the cab, tailgate, and any installed accessories

Confirm the third brake light and portal window line up correctly

Verify side-door swing clears the truck body and mirrors

Confirm final positioning with you before mounting begins

4

Mounting, Sealing, and Accessory Install

Installation day is about even clamping, a continuous seal, and accessories that are secured, not just set in place.

Mount the cap to manufacturer specification with even clamp pressure

Check the weather seal along the rails and at the tailgate

Wire and test the integrated third brake light

Install roof racks, Gullwing-Bins, drawers, and panels in the planned layout

Cycle every door, latch, and lock until operation is smooth

Re-check fit with the tailgate closed and accessories loaded

5

Walkthrough and Handoff

We hand back a truck your crew already knows how to use, with the details specific to the cap and accessories on it.

SmartCap Questions From Omaha & Lincoln Truck Owners

General questions about how upfitting projects work are answered on our vehicle upfitting FAQ.

Material and access. Every door and panel on a SmartCap is stainless steel rather than fiberglass, so the cap stands up to job-site abuse and makes the bed a much harder target for theft. The gullwing side doors also open wide — SmartCap rates the openings roughly 17% taller than a typical fiberglass cap — so your crew reaches tools from the side instead of climbing into the bed.

It comes down to the rear door and how much you want to see through it. The EVO Commercial uses stainless side doors with a full glass rear door, which keeps rear visibility, and it can take an optional security screen behind the glass. The EVO Defender is stainless on every panel, including double-walled gullwing doors and a solid stainless rear door, for maximum concealment. We walk through both against your cargo and where the truck parks overnight.

SmartCap rates the cap for 330 pounds while driving and 770 pounds while parked. Those figures can exceed what some trucks allow, so your truck's own bed and roof limits still apply — check your owner's manual, and we will factor those limits into the rack and accessory plan before anything is installed.

Yes. The cap is designed to come off the truck, and SmartCap says removal takes about 15 minutes. That is useful if you occasionally haul tall equipment or bulky material that will not fit under a cap. At handoff we show your crew how the removal and reinstallation work on your truck.

SmartCap builds caps for most popular full-size and midsize pickups, including Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Ford F-150 and Super Duty, RAM 1500 through 3500, and Toyota Tundra and Tacoma. Fitment depends on the exact year, cab, and bed length, so we confirm your truck against the model before recommending anything.

Yes — that is what the universal roof rails are for. You can add a SmartCap Drop Rack, Platform Rack, Roller Rack, or Load Bars, or mount a compatible rack you already own. We match the rack to what you carry and keep the total load inside both the cap rating and your truck's limits.

The SmartSystem accessory line includes Gullwing-Bins that mount behind the side doors — the Full-Bin, Half Bin, and Drawer-Bin — plus MOLLE panels for hanging gear. Together they turn the cap into organized storage you reach from the side doors. We plan the layout around your tools so the things you grab every stop sit closest to hand.

The cap uses a weather-sealed design built for rain, snow, and freezing conditions, and some models add a positive pressure air vent that helps keep dust out of the bed. A good seal still depends on a good install, which is why we check the fit along the rails and at the tailgate before the truck leaves.

SmartCap caps include an integrated third brake light, and some models add a portal window that lets the truck's own brake light shine through. We wire and test the brake light during installation so the truck is road-ready when you pick it up.

It can. Standardizing the same cap, rack, and storage layout across every pickup means crews find tools in the same place in every truck, and replacement parts and accessories stay consistent. If you are outfitting more than one truck, ask about a fleet upfitting program so the whole lineup is planned at once.

Build Out the Rest of the Pickup

A cap is often the centerpiece of a bigger pickup build. These services pair naturally with a SmartCap:

Ladder racks

Carry ladders, conduit, and long stock on the cap's roof rails so the enclosed bed stays free for tools. We match the rack to your loads and your truck's limits.

Truck bed storage

Drawer systems on the bed floor put small parts and hand tools within reach from the tailgate, under the same locked cap.

Tonneau covers

Prefer a low-profile bed? A tonneau cover keeps weather and eyes out while leaving the bed height free for tall loads.

Truck tool boxes

Weather-tight boxes add another layer of organized, lockable storage for trucks that need the open bed more than a full cap.

Put a SmartCap on Your Work Truck in Omaha or Lincoln, NE

Every day an open bed rides through Omaha or Lincoln, your tools are exposed to the weather and to anyone who walks by. A stainless SmartCap truck cap locks them away, opens from the side so your crew is not climbing into the bed, and puts the roof to work carrying ladders and long stock. For a pickup that earns its keep, it changes how the whole truck works.

What you get from us is a fitted install, not a boxed accessory. We confirm fitment on your exact truck, help you choose between the EVO Commercial and EVO Defender, plan the racks and storage accessories, and mount the cap so its seals, latches, and brake light work the way they should. If you are still weighing general questions, our vehicle upfitting FAQ covers the fundamentals.

The next step takes minutes: tell us the truck, the bed length, and what your crew carries. We will come back with a SmartCap recommendation that fits your truck and your trade, explained plainly by a family-owned Nebraska upfitter, without pressure.
