Let's See Some Softoppers

I'm curious if Flitz would take off just the slightest amount of the material to get through the chemical burned areas. Its 6000 grit paste so should polish it right up!! Austin, if you wanna try it sometime just let me know

 

been looking everywhere for a solution like this! Thanks for the write up. How is it holding up all this time later?

 

I'll definitely take you up on that offer sometime in the future. It's not going to hurt anything to try

 

It's held up nicely for almost 3 years now. The first attempt didn't give me good results when I just sprayed on it. But with the propped prep work it'll hold up. Minor nicks here and there from getting banged up but since it's spray paint you can touch up any time.

 

that's great news. i'm going to have to take a day off soon and get this done. I drive a lot with my sides up since I use it as sleeping shade. Black would look so much better

 

I like driving with the back rolled up and I was always worried about the bar sliding out so I would remove it and put in the bed. Dumb and annoying. I stopped at the hardware store and bought some 3/4" grommets that are super wide to put on both sides. Holds it perfectly in place now. ST should've packed some in there for us. If anyone wants a pic let me know.

 

Yes, please post a pic of grommets.

 

here ya go! The bar ain't goin anywhere

 

They are now on my shopping list.

Thanks again.

Good idea!

 

they told me the newer version sits a bit shorter at the cab. That's all I know and it's the one I have. Tell me about your lights you have mounted on the bed. Use for camping?

 

did you do any sanding or priming first?

 

how did you end up removing the logo? Just cut out the stitching? I'm keeping on of the sides and removing the other two

 

Havnt posted here in a while but i just finished up a rack to go over my topper to mount my new RTT. im pretty happy with it

 

nice setup!

 

Installing my Bestop today.







Have to wait for the topper and panels to warm up a bit in the sun tomorrow in order to get final fitting done.

 

love that. looks so good with the quicksand. I almost bought a new truck and it was going to be this exact color and trim. enjoy man!

 

Thanks.

Still got to stretch out the frame a bit.. Tailgate / rear window is a pain.. Gonna have to fab something different for that..





Taco is sitting in my future 38x30 shop..

 

need to camouflage that truck. its the perfect base color.

 

I was thinking that could be a fun thing to do with Quicksand... been looking for pics, but have not found any.
