    Thanks! I keep the soft topper on all the time. I love it. I didn't want the weight of the hard shell and had been wanting a soft topper since my last truck.

    The back of the soft topper was dirty, so I felt like drawing.

    that's my reason for wanting a soft top as well. I'm moat likely going with softopper instead of bestop after much debate. That black looks great with red

    Yes it does.
    I hit a few trails, but the ones I do now are new to me. Before I would mainly do forest roads while camping here in az. There is one trail I did called Rug Road that is rated for 4x4's. I had to be pulled up many of the hills.

    Great run everyone! Here are my pics from the phone. I will try to get the gopro stuff together by the weekend. Had a great run doing Turkey Creek from Bumble Bee Road to Crown King Road in Cleator, Arizona on Sunday. Took the ex-wife witch we have been on speaking terms since the divorce. She had fun.

    Finally got sliders installed by @JeepAndrew . Ended up using the passenger side twice. Already paid for themselves by safe guarding the cab of the truck.
