Can-Back Canvas Topper

I purchased one of these about a year ago with the intention of adding the racks down the road. I’m now wanting to add them, but the company phone numbers that are listed do not work. They seem to be offline. I’ve had trouble in the past with the customer service of the company.

So, between not being able to get ahold of anybody and the poor service I’ve already received, I’ve decided to reach out to anybody else that has one of these with the racks to share some detailed photos. I’m gonna see about making my own rack. It would be cool if somebody could share photos of the brace bars as well if you’ve got em. There the ones that go on the sides. They travel vertically at an angle. They’re supposed to increase the ability to support and stabilize a load if you put cargo on top of this thing.

Thanks gents!

 

Maybe try this dedicated forum https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/tonneau-covers-caps-and-shells.198/

 

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

 

@Phoenix2000 is the only one on here ive seen with a canback and his truck is a 2nd gen

 

I believe he’s the owner. I’d love to get in contact with him.

 

Hopefully he chimes in

 

Bumping my own post to check and see if anybody has this installed on their truck and wants to share photos. Posted it in the bed covers forum too.

 

Old thread, but I wound up with one of these for free today, so I’ve been doing some research on them. Let me know if you have gotten everything you need. Pretty sure I’ll have to be replacing window panels on mine. They’re pretty gross. But hey, free.

 

I haven’t been able to get ahold of them for years. I ended up getting mine fixed at an upholstery shop.

I’ve been wanting to get ahold of their roof rack system and since I can’t get ahold of them, I’ve been thinking about making it myself.

Wonder if you could post some closeups of the riser and cross bar?

Congrats on the find. I’m sure you’ll be able to find a shop that can help with the restoration.

 

I’ll get some pictures this morning for you

I’m going to do the actual racks in aluminum, and lose some of that height.

 

Aluminum may not be able to support much weight up top though... may have to do some extra bracing or something.

So those risers bolt to the rack through the fabric?

 

Aluminum will support no issues. I'm actually planning to rework the whole thing in aluminum, as this frame is pretty beat up and bent.

 

They do. You can see by the pics inside and out, where they bolt thru.
