Let's See Some Softoppers

Pick up a brake tap from @Puppypunter for a nice clean install. Though I’m not sure he’s still making them, but if he is you’ll like it. Makes the job so much easier!

 

I still make them. @daveeasa took over the sales for me as he is easier to get ahold of

 

Where is this?

 

Hi I have been searching everywhere for this rack, I learned mobtown offroad has gone out of business, Im just wondering if you are willing to sell this rack or if you have any clue where I might find one, Thanks!

 

Probably custom weld

 

Sorry man, no idea where you can find one. Mine is long gone so your only bet is the used market, and there aren’t too many floating around.

 

There is one for sale in the 3rd gen forum

Awesome thanks!

 

It's the Hansen Creek Railroad Trestle and NF-5510. The old railroad bridge is now part of the Palouse to Cascades trail.

Just curious if people take their toppers off during certain seasons? I know I miss the top-less look sometimes.

 

I take mine off for winter and put a hard shell on, added weight and security.

 

I originally purchased mine about 5 years ago with the intention of using it only in winter to keep the bed free of snow. I've found that I like it so much that I've left it on the truck all year. In the winter and certain circumstances I install the back window., but usually leave the window out for the most part for easier access.

 

My original intention was to keep it on year round too. I’m still waiting on my solid back panel to arrive (ordered November 22, if anyone is wondering how lead times look). It’s been great so far with the snow. I guess I should weigh my options during the summer when I don’t carry as much stuff in the bed. I get worried about my dogs back there during the hotter days too.

 

Finally got it on

 

I usually just roll the sides up and run in Safari mode when I'm hauling the dog. Little bit of shade and some air flow

 

That's why I got the boot cover. It's super easy once you get it figured out and better than taking the whole thing off.

 

Well, today I saw a softopper on a first gen ridgeline. So that's a thing that happened and now I'm kinda depressed.

 

Totally forgot about the boot cover! I’m gonna have to take a look into that.

 

My condolences to your loss of your sight.

 

I'm honestly curious as to how that would even work.
