Hey all,
We just got a new truck and mostly I don't like toppers as it makes it hard to use a truck for a truck, however, I like having one around for the summer months when camping.

Any thoughts or ideas about a cheap topper that is easy to remove as it would mostly be off the truck? I was thinking about one of those cheaper looking aluminum ones, but wondering if they would fit.

Thanks for any help.

 

This could be an option: Softopper | Soft Top Truck Caps and Canvas Camper Shell Tops

 

The aluminum ones aren't easy to install/remove. They weigh a few hundred pounds and are installed with a forklift (I have an ARE DCU on my 09 right now).

 

A coworker has one of these for his dodge 3500 and he loves it. As with you, he only uses it when needed, usually road trips with luggage. He's had it for about 6 years and has had no issues with it.

 

I have had an Undercover on my truck since 2005. Works well, is easy to remove and strong. You can walk on it if need be. I thought about buying a Fiberglass truck cap until I saw the $1600 price tag, and that was years ago.

 

the aluminum ones do work:



she never takes it off, of course, but as for function, yes. they work.

 

You should be able to find a used one somewhere. If you aren't picky about color, and you are patient, you can get them pretty cheap. I runa black one on mybrown truck, because I got a really good deal on it.

 

Craigslist is your friend.

 

Hey Rob what is your last name? You can PM it to me so you don't have to display it on the forum. I'm just curious

 

And never stolen either. That's ugly, dude.

 

if you go with a dealer who is a larger dealer with storage, some times they will store it for you for like $10 a month. shells plus did that for me. I left it there for months on end and only got billed one month! then they found a buyer for it when I didn't need it any longer for just under what I payed for it.

Not sure if you have more to talk about, but if you do, we're most pretty open minded around here. As long as you like trucks and you don't insult anyone, it's all one big party.
