Let's See Some Softoppers

hehe Guess you are not from Oklahoma.

 

I got my softopper used and I'll be painting it this weekend (if the weather lets me) So I can get that "like new" black back. And remove the softopper logo

 

X 3 paint ? Maybe he's talking about the frame. Someone on TV dud that. Looked good with the sides rolled up.

 

TW not tv. Dang phone.

 

maybe plasti-dip?... any other paint would probably crack or peel..

 

^ this worked really well getting out sun baked mud. And restored the fabric to it's true black color. Very pleased with the product

 

Got my Softopper installed and have over 2000 miles with it on in under a week. works great
kept everything in the bed dry and fairly clean from dusty dirt roads.

 

Looks like you truck has a lift, if so how much and how's your gas mpg with the topper on? Mine was giving me 14-15mpg hwy with a 3" lift on 265s. For that it has mainly sat in my garage, and the fact that it hasn't rained this winter in CA.

 

Yea the truck is lifted has about 2" in the front and about 3" in the rear. Didn't really notice a mileage change with the topper but I'm also geared with 4.88. Mileage is steady at 16 running 75mph.

 

update I'm having trouble finding the paint needed, rustoleum fabric and vinyl. homedepot, osh, lowes, walmart, and two other small hardware stores here don't have it.

 

I just read through twenty + pages of awesome rigs and ecellent ideas. I bought my soft topper from line x of Albuquerque in 2009 for my 99 taco access cab. Loved it then and i still do, as i was able to transfer it to my 2012 with updated bed rail clamps. Soft topper customer service is awesome and stands by their product. I to fell victim to a cracked rear window in the cold due to my impatience. I used clear vynl repair tape and fixed the crack. I highly recommend this product, its easy to use and storage on and off the truck is a breeze. Here's a pic of the soft topper parking lot flexing.

 

Looks awesome, I like the red/ tan combo. So you were able to use the same softopper you had on your 99 6ft bed and transferred it to your 2nd gen 5ft bed?

 

Looks really good! Can someone post photos of the mounting location. Trying to figure out how well it will mount with glass fenders.

 

yea I'm going to try ACE hardware next. shipping on spray paint is high. Even removed the whole cover from the frame and scrubbed it, still not the "new" black I'm seeking

 

My 99 access cab had a six foot bed, same as my 2012 DCLB.

 

Ohh it's a DCLB, couldn't tell from the pic

 

my bestop did this last weekend. booooo

 

No one ever answered this question? I don't have one but it looks like it would be close with the angles of the DerpWorx. There is a flat potion by the outer edge that might be enough to mount the Super Top.

KevinTaco - let us know what you find out!

I purchased a used ARE cap to fill a similar need to many of you. I also needed a rack and wanted better security. If I had seen some of your rigs before I got the cap I might have gone a different route, but for now I am happy.
Love all the pics of your guys rigs. If anyone has tried the Charcoal topper on an MGM I would love to see it.

 

I have a Bestop SuperTop. I wish it was a bit more tight I feelit sags in a few places, like the top of the windows are pushed in. Any of youBestop guys have the same problem…?

 

Ok I am getting ready to buy one of these. I found a used one in Florida. How do these hold up to heat and sun over time? Do they get dried out? Do the windows get brittle and crack?

BTW I found mine by searching the whole country on http://www.onecraigs.com
