Let's See Some Softoppers

Anyone running dust lights with their toppers? Trying to figure out how to fab something up. The only options I can see are a CB style bracket above the taillights or mounting something on a roof rack. Just curious to see what people are using.

 

I made this if this helps you at all.

 

I think @Shmellmopwho makes custom brackets for this

 

Sure do

 

Has anyone used an off-model softopper? I found one nearby that is for a 2015 Ram Quad Cab (6 foot bed). Softopper lists it as a 75-76 inch bed, while the Tacoma is a 73 inch according to their website. Anyone tried this?

 

If you go to their website, you can cross reference what trucks use the same soft topper.

 

I was on their site thats where I got the measurements, but I didn't see a cross-reference option. Did you just make assumptions based on the quoted bed lengths? The Ram cover costs $30 more so I'm assuming that value goes somewhere.

 

Yep, x referenced by size.

 

Has anyone successfully dyed it? There's a tan one for sale near me, but my truck is black

 

Black with tan is a solid combo!

 

Santa brought me an air mattress so I went out to Anza Borrego State Park to sleep under the Bestop for the 1st time. 40* is cold no matter what you're sleeping in, but it worked great! Bonus: left my bed set up while I wheeled & it kept out 99% of the trail dust!

 

Brother 40degrees ain't cold. That's t-shirt and shorts weather here, lol.

 

Haha I know, I thought that as I posted it. That's pretty cold for us in LA, it's all relative!

 

Enjoy that set up. It looks comfy!

 

Mt Laguna in east San Diego county, kept the gear nice and dry on the way home

 

I'm going to have to agree w rcsteele, black with a tan top is gonna look damn nice!

I haven't dyed one myself, but I almost bought a tan softopper that had been dyed black. There was a guy in Maine selling it on this forum. If you search dye maine softopper I'm sure it'll come right up.

 

Love my softopper!

 

Got any examples on a 3rd gen DCLB? I found one on a ACOR, but I am just a little skeptical.

It's also for a 2nd gen, and I guess there are slight height differences?

 

edit.. ^^^ beat me to it.

ya, the combo i'm looking for..
Any black 3gens with a tan soft topper!?

 

my black and tan combo. i think its a solid two-tone look. my gf jokes it looks like a covered wagon. maybe thats why i like it? looks kinda old school?
