    Does anybody know how much front bed space is lost when the top is folded down and forward? I carry a dirt bike from time to time so I don't know if the soft top would be a good option because of possible reduced bed space and ratcheting the bike tire down against the folded top.

    Stock as shit!
    Guys, I hate it but I'm gonna have to hold off for now. I've got some other obligations I have to take care of first. Wish it was a little bigger discount. Maybe after the new year.

    Just a guess here looking at the pics.

    It looks like the tubes will be over the header rail and just the folded fabric takes up bed space. The optional boot cover would protect the fabric and you should be able to get the wheel against the rail and rest the boot cover on the wheel?

    Also, I believe the topper comes off very easily once folded. Just the two side pivot pins?

    I'm sure someone can confirm or correct this.

    Make sure you get a mosquito net for it. Academy sells them for $10.

    Thanks.

    We're a bit lucky with not too many here. Big improvement over PA.

    Confirmed. I've done it with a bicycle. When it's against the bed the folded fabric protrudes about six inches or so, but you can either rest the topper against the top of the tire or take it off with the two cotter pins.

    Yup! That's the only reason I got mine! The topper also Removes sooo easy. You just spin off the round keyring style clips and pull off the topper. Leaving the bed rails.

    It looks like I am on a weather delay for the shipment. Not a big deal. Maybe a weekend installation now?

    If you're on the fence, just do it. Covered storage when you need it and it folds down or removes quick and easy when you want an open bed.

    Nice! I like those little tie backs for the rear flap. Are those yours or stock?

    The beach looks like Ocean Shores? Love the coast here.

    Pacific Beach... just north of Ocean Shores.

    I added those straps. I bought some spare buckle sets from softopper to match the ones already on the sides and used some straps I already had available (they were the sleeping pad straps from my Osprey Atmos backpack)

    Add me to the list. Ordered Monday & received email back confirming I'm on the list! Hope it arrives for the weekend!

    Jumped in because I really only need two configurations on my truck: Empty bed for hauling stuff/chores or packed FULL for trips...

    Someone posted this somewhere and I thought it was a great idea.
