    Too right. Freaking @Shellshock planted the idea to paint the rails black a couple weeks ago. I was obsessed enough about that.

    I gotta fill up and return the enduro to the great guy that let me borrow it and fix the washing machine, all while arguing with my wife that I neeeeeedddddd!!! an enduro.

    I'm played out! :rofl:

    Yeah it's in the background. Val vista and Guadalupe I think. I've never seen your truck around town. Not too many softopper in the east valley.

    I went from Softtopper to Leer. There were definitely things I liked about the softtopper, the same shit everyone on here has said. I prefer the hard topper. Even with the terrible paint match from Leer.

    I liked my softopper. It was great for hauling dogs and keeping rain out of cargo area on long trips. Also lightweight and easy to remove. I ultimately got tired of the vinyl windows looking like crap and was never totally happy with the way it fit the shortbed. I traded it for a bed rack that is a little more functional for me but do wish I still had it sometimes.

    I like my Best Top a lot, it's about 10 years old & still looks great. The back window was getting foggy so I ordered a new one about a year and a half ago.

    Advantages over hard top are: Lightweight, pretty easy to remove, lower price. Disadvantages: not as secure, noisy if someone rides inside (this only happened one time) that's about it in my opinion. I also like that I don't have to replace the struts every other year - I live in Phoenix and they only last a couple of summers.)

    I like the tan on your truck, I have a quicksand TRD sport. I have seen a few pictures of a tundra QS with the tan, looked nice, but I think black might be the way to go
