Default My blue ovals

Figured i'd snap a few pics. Why not...topper still hasn't grown on me. I have to wait until I go camping to see how useful it is. If I still don't see its value after that, its getting sold, tool box is going back on and i'm ordering a headache rack.

Please ditch the topper.

I love both of your trucks, but that topper is hideous.

Why can't you use your Bronco on camping trips? It has a built-in topper and everything.

That truck would look so much cleaner without the topper. The whole idea of making trucks into SUVs doesn't work for me. Just my 2 cents.

I think it makes your truck look much bigger, and the roof rack system is pretty sick

"Hideous" is a stretch LOL. I got the topper for a great price. Plus i've been contemplating selling the Bronco and picking up a motorcycle. That's the major reason for getting the topper.

But I do agree...the truck looks better overall with it off. But with 2 12" subs behind the seats, a dog and all the camping gear...I need more space then the bit of cab space I have left.

I'm a huge motorcycle guy. What're you looking at?

Honestly, don't know a lot about motorcycles. I've just started researching. Definitely want a cruiser...somewhere in the 3-6k dollar range.

Unless you're dead set on a cruiser,
Get a cross over, or a sport touring (same thing, just different wording). They sit up right like a cruiser, but it's more aggressive like a sports bike. Both in styling and ride/feel. So you can cruise the strip and be comfortable, and if the urge hits, you can crack down and feel that speed. Message me if you want some advice on anything you find. I don't wanna hijack your thread

You didn't tell us about the sound system.

Even though I hate toppers, in your case, it's obvious you'd need one.

I agree with Scott though, take it off when you don't need it, if you have space to store it.
