I am going to throw this in the camping section, because that is what I am using it for. Usually it seems like whenever I buy something online there's a good chance that I will end up with crap. But not this time !
I called and ordered my softopper for our 08 tundra 77" bed on a Tuesday, and it arrived Friday !
The Directions were a little hard to make out, but everything was color coded so it was self explainitory. The brackets clamped to the bed rails, 2 pins went on, 4 straps and the cover last. Once the cover is put on the 1st time you can take the whole top from off to on in under 5 minutes by yourself. Great quality product ! The canvas was nice and heavy, as were the snaps and bows.
Now to the camping portion, my wife and I had been camping in a truck bed tent I picked up on craigslist and put our easy-up over the back of the truck so water wouldn't get between the bed and the tent. It was a PITA !.
The softopper has so much more room in it since it is more boxed than domed. I threw my spare trailer tires and a couple 2x6's in the bed with some plywood on top and had enough room to use a queen size air mattress and barely sit up. I think I am going to upgrade to a couple thermarest mattresses, I am sick of air mattresses leaking air and the cheap pumps you have to rely on.
Since I installed the top It has seen severe thunderstorms, both while still and moving, ridiculous 40-65 mph winds (the ones that we got a couple weeks ago that I drove through on my way from NY to Moab) and a massive snow storm (coming over the Vail Colorado pass on the same trip). I camped in it with my Mr. buddy heater in high 20 degree weather (during the night) and no problems, flaping noise, inflating, nothing !
I am impressed and I am really happy i picked one up for my 4runner too
.
Great company, great service, great product !
