    Im sorry, I was speaking to the fabrics ability to withstand UV before it starts to break down. I deal with a lot of industrial films at work. It’s usually tested under ASTM D 4355. I’m Irish, no tent will keep me from turning red.

    Can't blame him for the lack of motivation. Dude ain't even making enough money off the gig to buy shoes. Shit, these things must be selling like hot cakes!

    There's only one shoe that's appropriate to be carrying something that rad, and it's a Reebok Pumps. Those things are hard as hell to find man. Especially if you want the Jurassic Park edition.

    Well like I said. I knew it would be dangerous! At the end of the day, I'm just a dude that helped invent a new concept with some cool people. I actually love to see the comments, questions and this group has some witty ass comedy that I appreciate regardless.

    Seriously, I think you guys are onto something here. I'd do this before I put what I think is a skanky looking soft-topper on my rig (go ahead, flame away!)

    I was a west coast rep for the importer of Avon Inflatables back in the mid '80's. Anyone familiar with the construction of those type of vessels knows how incredibly rigid a high volume, low pressure structure can be.

    I'm gonna really look into your site. I'd love to see one in person.

    Its not photo shopped. They are standing close to the rail. If both of them were next to each other in the center it would be caving in more. But I also wouldn't suggest that on my Fiberglass leer topper!

    OK. I should give you a little bit about the backstory. I dont drive a TACO, but would love to get one for my wife. Anyhow.. back to the story. 20 years ago I was super into riding my Motocross bike at the track. I then got a job that required I had a topper to carry apparel and footwear samples as a sales rep based in Colorado. From that moment on, I never really went back to the tack. I tried the tail gate moto hitch thing, went with some buddies, but really the hassle of it all eventually just had me selling my bikes. Soooo, I always wanted a topper I could just attache without tools in minutes for weekend camping/ roadtrips with the family when i needed to put a bunch of luggage and baby shit in the back.

    So we understand that these products aren't for everyone, but pretty cool for the guy that needs/ wants an open bed truck most of the time. Also for everyone on the group i would check out the Air-Deck, which just provides a great platform with storage underneath.

    https://getflated.com/products/air-deck-lrg?variant=40058551206056

    Anyhow, not trying to be a sales guy here, but just opening the conversation.
