Soft top or hard top?

What are your guy's thoughts on a soft-top vs a hard top? I have the decked system in my bed so I want a soft or a hardtop to be able to store items in my bed.

If I am getting a soft top I was thinking of the Supertop 2.

What are your requirements for carrying stuff in the bed.... if its taller than a hard shell, then go with a soft topper. If not require moving stuff that is taller than the decked unit and the hard shell, then go that route. Either way... you are spending money you should probably save.

 

I don't plan on buying it right away as I am trying to put most of my money into the payments. I don't haul a lot of stuff other than stuff from stores. However, the camper shell will allow me to utilize my bed more.

 

If you have a decked system that you carry valuables in then hard top. I know!

 

I do not carry a lot of extreme valuables, plus I keep the bed locked so there is no access to the drawers. How do you like your soft top?

 

I Love it. Super easy to operate and very light. Buy a used one from FB marketplace. It took me almost a year to get mine used. But it was like 450 off new.

What bed rack system are you running

Apologies if I missed it

 

I missed one on here about two years ago that was for sale from a TW member. The short story is All Pro used to make a tabular rack that would fit under a softopper and so did SOS Concepts. The one I missed was from the member on here was an SOS Concept one. The one I have is from a custom shop in Cumming Ga. TKO Metal Fab. The tubular ones are extremely hard to find anymore. Most are the square modular ones anymore. I Found it on Facebook Market Place after searching for over a year. I was extremely lucky to find this. The guy I bought it off of is a member on here but has only made like 4 posts. (But I found him on Facebook Marketplace) He was in Athens Ga. I think I bought it for like 450. I'm guessing to have this custom made today would be like $1,400. Let me know if you want the contact info for the custom shop. I love this rack BTW. I'm currently mounting an on board water tank to the top of the rack.

 

I have been so convinced on hard tio i never thought about doung this. Functional and looks awesome.

 

Thanks man I get a LOT of complements. It works for me.
