Cap, Tonneau, or Naked

This isn't your average velcro - this is heavy duty hook-n-loop stuff with a lifetime warranty. I have yet to get so much stuff in there that it won't stay latched shut. I did get a ton of concrete dust in the right track when I miss calculated a throw of a quickrete bag. I just took a brush to it, and it all came out.

I had the trifecta on my old truck for 2 weeks and traded it for the Access LE. I don't think it was the Trifecta's fault, but it kept flapping at high speed. I think the install shop that put it in was a bunch morons.

 

You mind posting some pics of the velcro and maybe some shots of the cover rolling up?

No rush.

 

Taken with my iPhone (not the best quality) in the garage at work...

Is that quick enough for ya?

 

A couple of problems with velcro is it doesn't weather well. Eventually you will have to replace the velcro, like I did(Big pain in the ass). I had that setup long ago on a truck(I will never again use a velcro cover). Also it has zero security. You can't leave anything in the bed.

 

i just recently added the Supertop to the Taco...... check it

 

with a shell in California, you can get your truck reclassified as an SUV and you don't pay the weight penalty on your registration

 

According to AgriCover, I should never have to replace it. If I do, it is covered under warranty, and they send me an entire new top. So far, I have owned this top for 2 years with over 60,000 miles on it, and it has moved from one truck to another. It has definitely exceeded my expectations as it still operates like new.

As for the security, I wouldn't say that it has zero security - nothing is fool proof, and any "soft" top can be broken into with just a sharp object. However, you can't just pry this top open like many soft tops. As long as my tailgate is locked, and the cover is closed; no one is going to be able to get into the bed of my truck without some serious effort and attention. To open the cover up, you have to release a latch that is inside the bed.

...then again, my windows are much easier to break than the cover is.

My friend and I broke into his MarkLT's ARE hard top cover with our bare hands when he dropped the keys off the dock. Nothing is completely secure when some one wants to get past your security badly enough.

I like the soft top for its versatility and usefulness. If I got another long bed tomorrow, I would get another one of these. If I got a short bed tomorrow, I would get a bed cap. I would use a trailer for the oversized stuff.

 

LOOKING GOOD, I have the same set up, except mine is a DC. Love the supertop though

 

I'd have to say cap and tonneau cover. I often need things secured and kept out of site so the tonneau would be the key choice, however the need for a larger protected space is always there for storage. For the cover, an Undercover tonneau cover would by my choice, for the cap, one of the Leer caps would be good.

 

Here are a couple of pics of my Taco with the canopy

 

Nekkid gar dummit! It's a truck, not a car or SUV!

 

Looks nice!

 

I have my leer 700 installed two weeks ago. Look great! match my truck color and love it!

 

Question: On very bumpy roads, I notice the bed does bounce around a bit (a little flexing in the frame and mount I presume). Does installing a hard canopy reduce that flexing of the bed, or does the canopy flex with it? And if so, is there any reason to worry that the canopy might contact the cab when you're bouncing around?

 

best look is open bed

best "usefulness" is cap because you can lock it, and you can sleep in it, but the looks changes to more like a suburban type than a pickup.

 

Mine is currently open which is handy, but, I'm going for a hard tonneau.
That way I can carry more stuff securely.
Plus it is easy to remove for hauling again.


Yuma Taco,

 

Just got around to installing my Trifecta this weekend. I love it so far. Im going to have to do a little modding on the weather stripping near the cab though. The seal is about 1 inch too long on both sides. Its not letting the corners seal properly.

Had to modify the front clamps too, they didnt fit quite right out of the box. The knob for tightening them hits the bed rails.

Only one complaint, it sits straight on the bed, but it looks weird. the bed rails are a tad wider up front than next to the tailgate. Maybe its just me, but it looks crooked.

 

Its not just you.

 

i've got the snugtop sl with keyless remote entry...lover it...especially during the winter...
