Soft Top Question

I'm thinking about ordering a soft top from SofTopper.com . Just looking for opinions on quality, durability, fit, installation, etc. Any experiences (good or bad) with these soft tops? Is there a better option (that's still in business?)

Also--is the rear screen window worth the additional $50?

Thanks!

Re: Soft Top Question

I really have no useful input. I think they need a nicer half cab to show it off. The Full top Jimmy they used looks great. Unless you are going to be camping or spending a lot of time in the truck where bugs may bother you, I would skip the rear screen and just roll the rear window up. There are latches in the back as well as the side for it. cool link, I'm glad to see there is some one making the full soft tops again.

Re: Soft Top Question

It looks well made. I like that it's a no-drill install and the bows look sturdy. I don't understand not offering white, but it looks like a good product.

Re: Soft Top Question

I'm thinking the same thing about the rear screen, but wasn't sure if I was overlooking something. I do like the no-drill install. That's a definite plus. Tax return comes in about a week. Thinking about ordering it then.
