    My new canopy....

    Well I have been wanting a canopy of some sort for the crewcab. Did not really want a solid/hard shell unit, but what else was there....well one day I happened across a Tacoma with a canopy called a Softopper. So I searched to their website and knew this is what I was looking for. So finally a week or so ago I ordered one up...with the wife's blessing....Thanks Hon!

    Picked it up last Sunday, and took about 90 min to install it.

    Their claims of folding and unfolding it in under 5 minutes is true. I was helping my Mother move on Sunday, and this worked great. All the small boxes and stuff inside the canopy for the first load, then the second load was big mattresses and furniture etc. So I just folded it forward and had a box with 90% of it's previous room!









    Couldn't be happier!

    I've only seen one once in another state, but never had a chance to ask .... so since you have one ..

    ... when the canopy is up and your driving down the highway at say 70 mph, how stable is it ???

    I guess that would depend on the rack. Look at his last picture you can see how the rails mount. Also the panel closest to the cab actually goes down between the cab and the bed to help keep water out so you need room for that too
