Let's See Some Softoppers

Thanks for the input. Will keep looking for more user friendly option I think!

 

Most user friendly I have found so far, is @Dissent86 rack system.
Aluminum, works with the softtopper, blah blah.

Cant even really argue with the price.

Its the one im eyeballing. All depends on if I end up with a hardshell or not.....

 

Just got mine on, now time for 285s...

 

Hi there! Is your Softopper black or grey? Thanks!

That’s black

 

Gotta love a softopper! Go from camping to hauling bikes in minutes without removing a heavy ass top

 

Thanks! Looks great!

 

Do the front wheels push against the softopper when collapsed? Cause any issues with bikes installed and the top is collapsed? Mine takes up a good 1ft of the bed when collapsed and looking for ideas for hauling bikes and having the softopper down.

 

The front tires would definitely grab the topper but I lift up the collapsed topper and set it between the tires and fenders. It rests on the tires no problem and I get a solid “chock” of the tires against the bed.

 

No issues of it resting on the front wheel/ wheels?

 

Zero issues for me. Sits on the wheels pretty much the same way it does against the cab.

 

Just placed my order for a black Softopper. Hoping it gets shipped out before they go on vacation till after the first of the year.

 

There’s a good chance it should. Those guys get shipments ready to go super quick. Every time I’ve ordered parts from them it ships the next day.

 

I should post a picture of what my softopper looked like after 7 years of year-round use.
It shrunk so bad it pried up the button rails at the ends. I got my moneys worth but going forward I'm probably going to go with something else.

 

Got my topper a day early. It was on the door step when I got home from work. There it on immediately. Took about 40 minutes. I’m very happy with how it looks.




I’ll post more when I get some better shots. It was getting dark so I didn’t have time to take more.

 

That's probably my favorite color/topper combo of all the Tacoma shades. Looks great

 

Thank you. I would have to agree with you.

 

Thinking about getting a soft topper for camping. How are they are regarding ventilation and bug screening ?

 

Not gonna be good for keeping bugs out. Great for ventilation if you roll up the sides.

 

I've never camped in mine, but there is a rear screen option that you can swap in for the vinvyl window. I bought one but have never used it.
