    This one time. I was talking to Randy about truck caps. He was all like you should get a Softopper. And I was like naw dog it don't fit my needs. People can get in too easy and take my shit. And he was like a'ight killer.

    That's about accurate. More like surfed Craig's list, saw this one for cheap and had at it after considering that $2700 is a lot of money for something I'm not sure I'll like. The end.

    Got it on late last night, but looks wise I love it. And I've always recognized the utility. I'll know more after this weekend.

    In all seriousness, I'll probably stay with this. I'm digging the safari truck look.

    I did a test sit of course and the bolstering is more aggressive than I thought. Will withhold judgement until I get them mounted.

    Oh wow. The picture definitely didn't show them to be that bolster-y.

    Yeah. I did another test sit and I think they’ll be fine. I’ll know for sure tomorrow when I actually get them installed.

    No, those wouldn’t work for these as far as I can tell. I bought the corbeau sliding mounts.

    I'm curios to see how these are. I looked at them, but couldn't commit without sitting in them.

    Luckily they have a 30 day return window and I would just need to pay return shipping if I need to go that route. I would have liked to sit in them before buying but oh well.
