Let's See Some Softoppers

Mine is less than a year old.

 

I do have the Smoked back window, don’t know if it’s any better.

 

Mine is going to get some clear Gorilla Tape when it warms up here as a temporary measure. Might leave it for a while, but thinking I'll replace it with the opaque canvas panel, same as the sides. At least, I think I remember seeing that as an option.

 

Yes they do have Solid panel back. Think 90ish $. Im thinking bout Mesh one this summer when camping.

 

I love my softopper, it’s a solid design and easy install though I would recommend installing it on a warm day I think the fabric would be a little more pliable but who here has that kind of patience?

 

If you move the center pivot forward slightly, you'll get more even tension and fewer of the ripples noticable in the one photo.

 

has anyone done a custom one?

I think Softopper and Bestop merged.

that being said, I wonder if it’s possible to order “custom”
They sell black Bestop, has windows
Tan Softopper, no windows

would be awesome if it’s possible to order a tan Bestop with windows
Best of both worlds.
-windows, ventilation, maybe even out side mesh nets for breathability
-tan > black or grey

 

Softopper test 2.0.. that’s over 24” jus since last night.

 

Ok experiment 2.0 was done other night jus been lil busy..

 

Has anyone had experience with both the original softopper and this newer premium twill option? I may be in the market for a new one and trying to figure out if the premium option is $400 better? Thanks.

 

No experience with the twill but I've never wished my original (7 years old) was $400 better.

 

it’s black so no

 

I can’t tell if it survived or not.

 

Ohh I would’ve posted RIP pic. Yes it survived, that was some Krazy snow was like 10° For most of Storm so very light. Probably 45”ish then next morning 29° And rain for awhile. It’s why I cleaned off that night , this is next day.

 

Nice!

 

We installed a new bed rack over our Softopper today.

 

I’d like something of that soft for my tundra. With a tent on the rack.
