Soft Topper?

Is there anyone that makes a good soft topper, there was a guy named Eddie209 makin them here:

http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/group-buys/261683-soft-tops-bed-racks-made-order-group-buy-2-a.html

But since then is no longer. I have a bestop super top and for what it is its ok but im on the hunt for something mor rugged. Anything like the one linked above?

Bestop
Softopper
Can back

Are all out
Thanks guys

 

When you break em there is

 

Framing is bending under inspection, im looking for something that actually has a frame to it.

 

Lol i can see that lol

 

What has caused the frame to bend/stress on your Softopper?

 

Thats what im trying to figure out, window was busted and looking at it shes bent.

 

What piece of tubing is bent exactly? Unsnap the cover and take a pic of the frame. Can damage from an 'outside' source be ruled out? ie: Drunk stumbling guy in parking lot. etc

 

honestly I would disassemble the frame and replace the frame (using the plastic pivoting points) if not mistaken I think they are riveted on .. you would even upgrade to a stronger tubing if needed...

 

At that point i may as well buy a new one, at thos point im really just trying to upgrade so i can eventually mount a rtt to the unit.

 

If you are looking to put a RTT on there, you are going to be building your own frame/topper. To my knowledge, there isn't one made strong enough to support a carried load. You could build a rack over the topper to support the RTT tho. With an RTT on there, is there any benefit of having a temporary canopy vs a hard cap?

 

Can't get more rugged than fiberglass.

I had a soft top and was never really happy with it.

Then I got a Leer top and have never been happier.

 

I dont like the look of fiberglass... Maybe im weird

 

Lol one of a kind lol ill just source out a guy around here se what i can find... I think the fabric is going to be that hardest part.

 

My bestop canvas has ripped in one of the corners... same thing happened to mipawlus, but his included the ripping of the window...

 

And bestop wont warranty it. And i do and dont think they should have to.

 

I don't know but the best top I had a few years ago seemed pretty damn tough to me. I don't see how you could get a much more rugged fabric? Unless you designed the fabric and made it yourself?

Honestly if you really are not happy with the best top fabric then redo it yourself. There design of their top system seems like a very good system. Just go on a search for a better fabric. Once you have found some take your old top and the new fabric to a sewer and tell them to use that as a template to make a new one out of the new fabric. Then just use the old best top frame work for a new one.

Either that or you just need to learn the limits of a soft topper and not exceed them. Plus if you are rough on it just remember they are only fabric and don't expect a very long life out of them like 5 years or less.

 

I was happy till the window busted, then found it was bent... i really havent used it, on the side note exploring my ideas so a soft topper could accept a rtt as well

 

Killer toy tops is starting to make them for Tacomas. How do I know?
Because he's using my truck to make a prototype
But for real, he makes quality tops. And it's a small business, so the customer service is TOP NOTCH.
Give him a call, he may be able to help you out

 

Killer Toy Tops is making one!
He is using my truck as a prototype for it. My truck will have an All Pro pack rack so it will be strong enough to support a tent, and there will be a soft top covering it up. It will basically be a soft topper with an all pro pack rack acting as the frame. It's gonna be awesome.

 

Does this guy got a web site?

Nm googled it yours is looking good , i think the only thing that kills it is the shipping... Other than that damn!!!
