    ok cool. Im still deciding if its the looks for me. The thing i like is that its not solid ( i dont like those) And it folds down when you want. Also I think it would keep everything dry back there also.

    Easy to install but since I was doing it at late night took me forever. You can fold down the cover. I did install the 3rd brake light and its really a pos lol.

    just a couple comfort items.
    Looks good! I think you will really like it. I have had one for 3 years and it is holding up good, Despite never really doing too much to it. Just a good hosing off once in a while. I did have to replace some of the rivets with bolts but I do have a lot of dirt miles. Have fun, it's a versatile product.EMDVLP126_e2f4af311c5b7c24263aacc5b0232f72f02a4bed.jpg

    Here is one with the windows out and one folded, kind of hard to see with the tent there but you get the idea. Basically folds forward like a bimini top on a boat.Withbestop6_ca514f33c51d8a94343eb78e9f6bf46816740b1a.jpg
