Show off your Bestop Supertops!

I am probably gonna pull the trigger on one of the these. Where is the best place to buy?

 

streetsideauto has a promo code every now and again for $100 off. They also do free shipping.

 

It is made by softopper and can be found at softopper.com I don't have any other pics right now. Not having windows has not been a visibility factor for me, surprisingly. I had a fiberglass one on a S-10 without windows and the visibility was severely affected. The tacoma is not is the same boat. If there are specific pics anyone want, let me know.

 

I guess i need go ahead and get this now. Last time I tried to get one streetside was out of the ones for the shortbed

 

Ordered mine from streetside on Thursday. They matched autopartsdealer.com at $466 and dropped a dollar off down to $465. I used google checkout and got an extra $20 off.

 

is it ok to put decals on the rear window, or will they not stick well

 

I'm thinking sticker won't work well, because the windows bend and stickers don't like to constantly bend.

 

yeah thats true......damn, my friend just started up a new business and hes got decals and i wanted to put one on the window so people can see it...damn have to think of something else then

 

I put a TW decal on the bottom of the window part and I havent had any issues with it coming off. I think it just depends on how big the decal is but I'm thinking you should be okay.

 

Interesting. Do you ever roll up the window or take a pressure washer to it?

 

well im just talking about a salt life sized decal
except with my friends company name

 

I've rolled it up a few times but not much. Yes, I took a pressure washer to it quite a bit.

 

I guess I should try this.

 

Anyone know of a Canadian shipper of these?

 

did you try Amazon?

 

Amazon is not canadian. I'm trying to avoid customs/duty/expensive shipping.

 

Just go tot their site and look for dealers.......they only have one in Canucksvill

my top

 

I have been digging up every thread and article on canvas topper for weeks since I am trying to decide what I want. This is what I have gathered from way to much reading.

From what I have read, Can-back is generally considered the best and you can mount a rack, bikes etc to the roof but the company has issues and its 1200 bucks.

Softopper is second because of its ease of use weatherproofing and durability.

Bestop while it has many satisfied customers has many that complain of leaks, not as user friendly to put on and take off as the others, and the big selling point that many guys like, "the windows" is actually a big negative for the top. The plastic windows over time degrade with the sun/weather, putting the top up taking it down and scratches from offroading. We have all seen an old top on a jeep with the windows that are all cloudy and cracking. Well Bestop makes those tops as well and that will happen to your bestop over time. Looks great for a while though.

 

I've seen both the Bestop and Softopper in person. Both were 2 to 3 years old. They were both in great shape. Both leaked occasionally on big rains. The Bestop just seemed more sturdy to me, I like the windows, and even if they scratch overtime at least you can buy just new windows for it.
