    lol well design of the bestop is kinda dumb because the frame pushes on the "window part" of the panel... to me thatsa a design flaw now bring it up to canada -35 on a good day in the winter and she will crack with no effort... where i think my problem was. thus my do and dont lol.

    I follow his IG... He is an incredible fabricator but his passion seems to lie with 2-wheels.

    It's all free for me!
    The all pro pack rack and everything is free for me.
    The deal was, as long as I let em keep my truck for 2 weeks to design everything, I'll get it keep everything.
    I do quite a lot if kayaking and camping so the all pro rack will help a lot with transporting the kayak and I may possibly do a rooftop tent set up this summer

    A shame you're in Canadia I'd sell you an Eddie topper on the cheap. Damn thing has been sitting in my shed after being on my old Taco for less than a month lol.

    Moot point since I no longer have the Taco but wish I would have just gotten a soft topper instead.

    It was just a pain in the dick. Good concept, far from production ready IMO.I'm sure others had better success with theirs, but no matter what i tried or how I adjusted it I was never able to remedy the part that was behind the cab to flap and smack against the back of the cab at highway speeds. Took the thing off before I even decided to trade in the Taco. With all the highway driving I do it was just unbearable.
