Let's See Some Softoppers

I installed heavy duty Velcro along the front, on the inside, that works perfect with the Velcro that's on the front inside of the SofTopper. Mines right and I installed no snaps.

 

For what its worth I drilled the snaps into my bed. It was easy and effective. It's a plastic bed, it's not like it'll rust. It does limit use of the front rail, but if that's a priority for you then I don't see any way you can attach the front flap and still use the rail.

 

Here's a pic.

 

Tell that to my hilight jack on mounts on back wall with cover fully snapped and velcrod. Works just fine.

 

Just purchased a softopper for my 2017 OR DCSB. Just wondering how these things hold up in the cold weather (Freezing temps, snow etc.) I'm sure its been asked a bunch of times so sorry in advance!!

Cheers

 

No issues at all.
Holds up well with heavy snow, but I make sure I pull it off with a push broom when I can.
Careful with the rear plastic window in cold weather as they can crack.Don't try to roll it up.
I just unzip the sides on the rear flap and flop it on the roof when I need to get in there.

 

I have a 2gen Softopper for a long bed for sale if anyone’s interested:

New Softopper and DIY Ace Hardware mounts. Very happy with fit and how everything turned out!

 

I personally stored mine for most of the winter but I mostly use mine for camping. I did go camping in the Shenandoah Mountains in late November average low temps were about 25 degrees. I can say that just using a sleeping bag in the truck bed that thing keep all the wind and moisture out pretty damn good. It felt pretty cozy and decently insulated.

I'm considering buying one of these in the near future and I was wondering about how these things hold up? Anyone on here have one that's 3 or more years old, if so anything fail, hows the canvas?

 

My friend at work has one on his 2011 and it looks as good as my 2017 one. I was worried too in so cal. But his has held up in sun

 

We are looking at picking one up as well, and coming from a jeep I plan to get some of the cleaning supplies that are used on a soft top, really helps hold up against the UV.

 

Softopper storage game gettin stronger. Still have the passenger rail to figure out what im doing. Maybe a caliraised molle panel and a ton of pouches

 

And what are those cleaning supplies?

 

The ones I use are raggtopp, but there are a lot of other brands out there as well.

 

Willing to ship?

 

Not at this time

 

If that changes I’d be interested.

 

Your axe mount might be in the way if you try and fold down the topper. Might still clear if you move it rearward a few inches.
