Let's See Some Softoppers

Not yet. Haven't had the time but more so haven't gotten off my lazy ass to do it.

 

I used this one

Partsam 2 x 4.5inch Motorcycle...

Partsam 4.5'' Red Motorcycle LED Tail Turn Signal Brake Light Strip Bar, IP68 Waterproof Universal Flexible Motorcycle Turn Signal Third Brake Daytime Running Light for Motorcycle Trailer ATV, 2Pack

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GRO844G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Works great and the leads are long enough to reach down to the brake light. Gauge is probably 20. It’s pretty thin.

 

I have a third gen topper on my second gen too. I replaced the curved rear bar with a straight section of aluminum tube (I forget the diameter) and the rear panel works perfectly. A replacement bar was like $12 from ST, but with $24 shipping, IIRC. I found the right size aluminum bar in my metal supply's remnant pile for $10 and just had to cut to length and swap the hardware over. Just an FYI.

 

Taking a while for the tracking to show up at ups...

 

Shipping now says arrival on friday. getting pumped.

What did you use to get that frame around your Bestop? Looks good.

 

I did not see this option on Soft toppers web sight. Did you have this made yourself?

Thanks,

Mine installed

 

I am interested in this as well. Would you be willing to post some pics and an install tips when you get around to it?

I've got these parts in my Amazon cart contemplatating the purchase.

 

If I remember to, I will. But my plan is:

1. Mount the third brake light to the topper. Thinking about how I want to do this. Cut a small slit to run the wire and two holes for the mounting screws. Not sure yet. Part of my procrastination is this.
2. Route the wires. Not sure if I want to hide the wire or just let it hang in the corner. If I "clean" it up, I would route the wire along the inside of the topper and down the frame of the topper and back to the driver taillight along the bed side.
3. Once I have the wire routed, I dont want to hard wire the brake light in the event I want to fold the topper or remove the topper. So I haven't decided what kind of connector I want to use. Some kind of easy disconnect. There's a couple items in the "products discussed" option below. Something like this would be cool.

Trolling Motor Plug and Receptacle - iGreely 2Pack Weatherproof SAE Socket Sidewall Port, SAE Quick Cable Connect Solar Panel Mount for Motorcycle RV Marine Boat Car DIY and More 12AWG 1ft/30cm

SAE Plug - iGreely Solar Weatherproof SAE Socket Sidewall Port, SAE Quick Cable Connect Solar Panel Mount for Motorcycle Generator Battery Charger and More

Well see....

 

Truck looks great! I don't know if it's on their website. Back when I placed the order I did it over the phone. Try giving them a call and asking if it's still available.

 

Does anyone still have their original box that it came in? I’m trying to sell mine and I wanted the dimensions of the box to see if I can find one similar.

Unless someone is willing to give me theirs..

 

FYI they adjust shipping after you order. Probably not the best system. I ordered a new back window (solid), bar, clips, and screw in snaps and shipping was $34 on a $100 order. I almost didn't order because of that but I wanted the window so I didn't really have an option. A few days later they refunded $20 via PayPal noting that the items would fit in a smaller box so that was pretty honest and good of them.

 

Using the front buttons this time I see lol

 

Hey man, I just noticed this when someone else quoted your post. I don't think your clamps are installed right. The "nub" should click into the top part of the track and yours is canted at an angle and not engaging. That's easy to do by accident.

This is correct:
