    If you're still open to providing the parts list please let me know. I'm picking up a used Soft Topper locally.

    Thanks!

    I've been running my softopper since 2012 thru all 4 seasons up here in Canada. It's truly amazing how well this thing has lasted! I will buy another anytime! The back window is getting pretty hard to see thru now. I should probably buy another next summer. Do they still have the same velcro strips at the back? I replaced mine with a velcro magnet the first 6 month and it's lasted perfect till now.

    Will a Softopper or Bestop work with tool storage like this installed?

    My Bestop would work with that, just have to put the "C" clamps in the utility rail between the tool mounts. All of the hardware sits on top of the bed rail just like the folding top you have.

    Google brought up these 2 pics, from this site somewhere lol. The C clamp holds down a piece of angle iron that sits on top of the plastic bed rail. All the hinge hardware stays at or above the level of the bed rail.

    Thanks! This seems like a big benefit of the Bestop design. I didn't realize it didn't have the frame part that dips down below the rail.

    Just joined the party. :cool: I already love this thing. My neck still hurts from looking back at my truck every time I walk away from it. Also I got it from Low Range Offroad, they had it for the best price and their customer service rocks. Soft taco ftw!

    I can take a pic of them in the morning if you want. Also I had to buy all new ones for mine from softopper. They are $18 bucks I believe for all 4, then 5 bucks shipping

    Finally got mine, only issue was needing to relocate tilt pin to the lowest hole to allow room to snap the buttons down.

    Next I will be making my own third brake light with some guidance from member Steelhd.

    My softtopper and those relentless mounts work just fine.
