    Does anyone make a hard/thicker plexiglass rear panel for these?

    Got mine on and loving it but dont see very many cool accessaries for it posted uo in here. Say the cool bike rack rails and maybe one with a cargo net on ceiling which was pretty cool too. Anyone have any other setups inside their softopper

    Really either one. The grey might match a little better if you keep those wheels.

    I actually like these wheels a lot. It's been an idea to strip these down repaint and put a clear coat on them. Cleaning powder coated wheels suck so much!

    Either paint them grey or tan/bronze/gold type color to math which ever softopper i go with.

    Let me start by acknowledging that I was cursed with an internal level and plumb bob. I notice when anything is not level or square. It is a curse.
    I love the softopper, but after a few weeks I have noticed that the rear passenger side corner sits a bit lower than the other three by a little bit less than a half inch. Playing with the straps has not helped. Would putting the passenger side pin in the top adjustment hole help?
    Anyone else noticed this on theirs?

    You got problems. Better sell.

    Just kidding. I never noticed this.

    I figure it might well be the bed rails, or the position of the passenger side topper rail. I guess I will just have to play with all possible adjustments and see if I can pull that back bow into better alignment.
    I was hoping someone might have had the same issue and isolated the cause.

    I have never seen that movie, and I was 21 when it came out. I will have to look it up.
    I notice the slightest things of that nature. I just installed cabinets in a cabin on our property. It took me an afternoon just to make sure they were dead level. I was then bothered by the fact that the cabin corners weren't a perfect 90°. It's a curse .

    I have that same problem with seeing off level items, but it bleeds over to spotting grammar as well.

    Every newspaper, magazine, or other publication has something that just jumps out at me. I can't focus on what I'm actually reading past that.

    Q for anyone lurking here: I want something more sturdy than a Supertopper or Softop. Does anyone manufacture a basic, fixed and removable canvas top for the Taco? I'm thinking something similar to M35s with a little snugger top for highway speeds.

    I didn’t know they were back in business. $2k is pretty steep.

    Can’t go wrong with whatever you choose. They all look good.

    I would buy one right now for my tundra, but the way they arent tight fitting bugs my OCD. I wish you could stretch it tight so it doesnt sag in between the rails. I know its function over looks but my OCD would kill me see it

    I guess sag was the wrong word. The way they fit up top is what bugs me. Like I said, I know its function over looks, but damn it would drive me bonkers seeing that slight dip in between the rails.

    I'm digging that look. Are those tires 265/75/16?

    Q2: I'm light silver 2nd gen, with black bolt ons (steps, bumper guard, scoop wrap, bed basket), and bronze wheels. I'm leaning towards a tan soft top over black. Does anyone have a tan top with bronze wheels? I'd like to see if the shades are complimentary or clash.
