Score! Finally found a Bestop on Craiglist!

After weeks of searching, I came across an ad for an 07 Prerunner short bed with a Bestop Supertop in LA. E-mailed the guy who posted the ad, and offered him $250 for the Bestop if he was willing to part it out off the truck...he agreed!

Picking it up this Saturday! Finally beginning my zombie response unit build

Pics to come after the install. PS Anybody know how to mount a CB with a Bestop? Currently using Desert Guy's bedrail mount, but I don't think they will work with the topper.

 

Hellz yeah man. lucky you, wish i was in the same position. glad your happy

 

Thanks!

Can anybody shed some light on the CB antenna mount question? Best place to mount?

 

I am getting a soft topper and I had that same question. I looked around and it looks like the door jamb mount from Firestik would work well on the rear tailgate side support. There was a picture but I don't feel like googling and looking for it.

 

I have a soft topper and decided to go with a relentless fab hood mount.

 

Congrats on the purchase! I also have a Bestop (get those pics up soon!) and rather than fight with mounting the antenna from the bed rails, I run the K40 antenna with mag mount on my roof. Works like a champ and the antenna is just awesome. Very easy to pull off and store, too.

I bought a boat-load of w8n4mud's brackets that he was selling a while ago. They worked great for mounting the antenna with the regular mount, but tons of interference caused by the hoops in the Bestop, unless I folded it down.

Don't have any awesome, close-up pics of the mag mount, but . . .

 

Good to know! Thanks for the heads up...unfortunately, I have the 5' Firestik antenna, and I'm already hitting all kinds of stuff with it being 4' above the cab. I'll either have to buy a short one, or live with the constant mounting and removing of the antenna.

I'm looking into a rear bumper mount right now.

 

I used one of these, but I have a 4' antenna

there is also this you can do

 

I've had much higher offers on mine but didn't want to take it apart and ship. Great price OP. Enjoy it. I've camped out a lot in mine

 

Great suggestions...I'm trying to stay away from cutting into the bumper, so I may go with the door jamb mount. May even custom fab something to work with the Bestop. Keep the ideas coming

 

I put mine between the bedside and tailgate

 

yea im thinking about mounting mine to my rear bumper on the side
