Yes, 3rd gen.
And yes, I did.
Took it off for the winter.
Decided that a hard top was better suited for intended uses.

Okay, I'll make sure I have all the hardware. Probably be able to drop it off during my travels.

"Whats the biggest tires I can fit with a 3 inch lift??"

 

Sounds exactly like my process. I thought for sure I'd like the Softopper, and I really did. They definitely look very cool. Ultimately though, I knew I wouldn't use it to it's full potential.

 

I bought one.

Sold it because I didn't want to sleep in the bed area.

Bought another one for MTB storage.

Sold it because I never used it.

 

mobtown Softopper rack. Might actually be @jowybyo personal rack..

Mine. It's still available.

 

I owned one, it was the mtb adventure van. I had the rear seats folded down and the middle row removed. I added some padding (anti-fatigue mats) to the floor in the back and would load up with bikes and camping gear. It was as versatile, though less offroad capable, as a pickup with a camper shell, and got better fuel economy.

Long before it was a minivan, the Honda Odyssey was a little offroad vehicle.

 

The rack on top of the tubular bars part of the rack?

 

The tubular side hoops are part of the rack. It's essentially a cab height bed rack that just happens to fit around a Softopper. Works equally well with or without a Softopper. And it's modular and bolt together so it's easy to put on and take off.

 

This is my stuff and you guys are right, they are SOS sliders. I had a front hitch mount from Mobtown but the sliders are SOS. Sliders are spoken for but let me know if you guys want anything else. Got a Tundra now. Clearing out all my old

 

Welcome to the forum

Very cool of you to join in just to clarify things for us

 

Now, had you bought a Sienna...........

I've been told you could have gotten 4wd. And with the seats out (which came out individually) 4x8 sheets of plywood fit.

Of course back then, given the choice, I would have chosen the better looking Oddessy.

I can't believe it took Toyota this long to add some freaking style to it.

 

Does it break down enough to ship it?
I am in MA.

 

TW express is strong in these parts,,, just a thought

 

I would recommend trying TW Express. It does pack flat so it would be easy to put in the bed of a truck. It’s also shippable, but it won’t be cheap cause it’s heavy and still relatively large.

 

I bet shipping would be over $75.

Fastenal has a shipping service, from one of their locations to another that is relatively inexpensive. Bus lines (think Trailways) also allow shipping packages.

 

This hood for sale

 

Anybody can get seller's info for those not on book of faces? Thanks!
