What does the link have to do with it I want to hear from some one who already has one

How can any of us on this board know what you are asking about if you don't list a link in your post. You might get replies about the CanBack top or the Kayline top. So, a link is very helpful in getting the information that you are after.

...kinda gets the ball rolling....

and makes a great ice breaker!

So the rest of you hosers stay the hell out of this thread. You don't own a Softopper so piss off. Your ideas don't mean bugger all.

Oh gee, I replied too and I don't own a Softopper. Sorry . . .

Hilux · 06-18-08, 12:51 PM

I've seen that exact top somewhere before. I just wasn't called "The Softtopper".

I'll try and find it later....

The longer I own my 1st gen, the more I believe I'll own it forever. I'd love to hear what you think about the quality after you get it installed and use it for awhile. They look good on the website (big surprise). Thanks for sticking your neck out on our behalf. I know you did it for the good of the team!

My brother bought one, but I dont think he has got it yet

swerks · 07-12-08, 04:25 PM

softtopper is on and Im liking it!

fortysixandtwo · 07-12-08, 05:37 PM

Is it pretty easy to install? Looks like you just bolt the rails to the stock lid bolts? How quickly do the sides roll up?

swerks · 07-13-08, 08:36 AM

Went on without problems. I have not rolled up the windows yet Im letting everything stretch and shape for bit.

2ndGenToyotaFan · 07-13-08, 04:08 PM

Nice! Does it follow the curve of the roof, or does it go flat?

BikerTrash · 07-13-08, 06:39 PM

Wow... very nice. I think this fool (me) and some of my money shall soon be parted.

87toycrawler · 07-14-08, 07:14 AM

I bought this same top off ebay best $600 ever spent it is great quality and easy too install no holes to drill all aluminum & stainless hardwear. removable back window sides rollup easy.
Friends that have kaylines are jealous of the top.

swerks · 07-21-08, 08:15 AM

Went through some heavy rains and major wind no leaks !!!

Hellbound · 09-03-08, 10:33 PM

I aslo bought it
removed the hard top for summer and installed this one
i tried all the different ways to drive around with it
the only thing i wish they would of done was the sides to be removable
like the back window (with velcro and zipper) when it is warm out it makes it a lil harder to roll the sides the material gets very soft when trying to roll it by yourself

they also provided a back for when you deside to drop the whole thing back
you just remove the to pins and bring it in the house

the only thing i didn't do was to remove the plastic cover on the weather strip under the railling
since i will remove the frame and install my hard top for winter
the hardest part on the istallation was the the metal piece that goes around the cab opening with all the snap on buttons everytime i tried to tighten the bolds it sqeezed the weater strip in a bad way.

again
that was a very well spent $600
