Let's See Some Softoppers

Exactly what I do with mine. No issues.

 

I should also add, Ill try not to touch the window(s) if there is frost on it as well. Silly to risk damaging it.

 

I just joined the crowd. Last night i picked up a new to me bestop with tinted windows from another local member. I put the frame and canvas on last night but haven't put the windows in yet.

 

Who has had their soft topper for several years and still love it? Thinking of getting this. Thinking of the soft topper with no side windows and a tinted rear with screen. Can you even see out of them with mirror? My goal is to do a soft topper then mayne an all pro slim fit rack over it

 

Im going on year 3 with my Bestop (if it makes a difference) and Im still happy with it

 

I don't like how the Best topper has that huge gap between the cab and topper.

 

Nice job, what mounts on the sides?

 

Im on my 3rd year. It shows no issues. The truck sits outside 50% of the time.

 

Thanks for the reply. I just cant seem to decide my issies are twice a week i transport gear in bed to and from work. I have a kid with a large stroller as well and it doesnt rain alot in california but i like being prepared and just cant decide on a water resistant solition for those issues. Showed a pic to my dad and he thinks they look cheap like i couldnt afford a shell. I see it as a smart solution

 

Need a welder...

 

I like the fact that the soft topper is 1/4 the cost of a rigid cap, plus they can be used on other brands of trucks.

Oddly enough, you can sell a soft topper very quick and not take a bath. Try that with a rigid cap. You can't get shit for a used rigid cap.

 

It's a bike rack on the side.

 

Yeah you do. Once you get the tools the ideas become reality.

 

Yeah, hard topper is more secure. But than again, if they want something badly it wouldn't matter. I'm still looking at all my options but still looking for a hard topper.

 

Took my softopper on my road trip. I used my low pro bedrack and RTT setup. Took the rtt off once I got to California. With 4 bolts it came off and set up the softopper. I love the setup and ease of use. Put the dogs in the back with 4 people and headed to Oregon for 5 days. Went back to Cali and mounted to the rtt in 10 minutes. The softopper is great.

 

Mine cracked in 60 degree temps, but it could have still been cool as it was late morning and we had temps in the 40s that night.

ST sent me a replacement without hesitation.

 

That’s really weird. I’ve been in constant conditions of weather below 0 and haven’t experienced any cracking yet

 

I was rolling my window up to use the buckles to keep it out of the way. It cracked when I rolled it.

 

Ah, gotcha

 

I'm a folder now instead of a roller. It still bends the window, but not as much. I made these straps and added a buckle that clips into the side buckles.
