Thinking about a best top for my 2012 AC.

So I really have been thinking about getting a soft top rear lid for my AC. I was wondering the pros and cons and if owners here are stratified with there. I know they don't offer security, but some shelter when needed. I recently hosted a handgun class, and as the host my truck was the meeting post and refreshment station. I would of likes to have some shelter and a cover at night for gear if it rained. Do they make road noise and do they leak? Will I lose fuel economy? I really think a soft top fold a way cover could be handy. Thanks guys an girls.

 

no one has nothing to say about these?

Also I have one on my 01 and I love it. Haven't had too many opportunities to use it yet but when I have I've been glad that I have it and that I can fold it down so fast without taking it off.

 

I've got the Soft Topper. I love it. It's versatile, there when I need it, folded away when I don't. Mine hasn't had any real major leaks, maybe a trickle here and there under serious downpour conditions (but I'm in SoCal, so that doesn't happen often ). As far as MPG, I'm not sure, never really bothered to track it.

It does make a nice place to sleep in a pinch though

 

i have a softopper, too. i chose that brand because the front window is removable and on the bestop it isn't. i took it on an extended road trip and it held up fine in serious new mexico crosswinds. i don't think it affects MPG much, either, as I had 20.8 mpg doing an avg of 80 mph with 40+ mph crosswinds much of the time. granted, that was on pretty flat roads but the highest I've averaged without the topper is 21 anyways.

 

I can sell both. Give me a shout.

I have the Supertops for a few bucks over $600.

 

+1 for softopper
