    I know the feeling. I haven't really touched the truck since we had our daughter, not that I'm complaining though.

    Thanks.

    I am really happy with the extra height. Now I can open my fridge inside the bed, and I don't hit my head on the door anymore!

    Where did you get your snug top from?

    I would have guessed that you bought it used. Must have wanted a snug top brand to drive from GA to Missouri.

    Yes - of the big 3, SnugTop had the best collection features I wanted.

    Also, they are hard to find used down here. For some reason, SnugTop doesn't have any dealers in the South...

    Mid America Truck Tops in Missouri seems to be the closest dealer for the South East. I've don't know why they have ever put a dealer in our direction.

    How long does it take to loosen four bolts and unplug one wire? 10 minutes? Just need another pair of hands to lift it off.

    Cool. I've never been interested in one until now, so I've never had any experience with one. But sounds the same as this old school retractable cover I have.

    As others said, it's pretty easy with a buddy or two. just set up a couple saw horses or 2x4s on the ground to set it on for storage. Mine has 4 to 6 "J" style hooks with nuts and a wire connector. It helps to hop inside and press/lift up to break the seal against the bed before trying to move it further.

    BTW . I have yet to take my canopy off since purchasing it over 1 1/2 ago...
