I'm actually in the process of making my own, I was in the same situation as the OP, need one for camping/hiking, didn't like the price...
...
Velcro flap in the back and front to access the sliding window or tailgate and I figure I made my own for about $50

Any update since this post...?

BTW, my interest would be to have a soft top AND drape the inner shell of a old rectangle-shaped tent inside (bugs protection, etc).

So what's the deal with these soft tops? I have been looking for a fiberglass camper shell for a few years now. The first year I was looking strictly for my truck color but for a used one. I have the 2007 dark blue double cab long bed. I never found one. I dropped my standards and said any color will work. Well I haven't found one for what I am willing to spend in my area.I seen a soft top drive by me today and a light went off in my head figured I would look into these. So is there different brands? whats your reviews on the different brands. I like the idea of it being removable easy to store away. I plan to use it for a place to sleep on hunting and fishing trips/take my dogs out It would need to be rain proof for late season hunting trips we get 1-3 in of snow with a few rainy days and LOTS of wind.

I ran a bestop and loved it! Easy install. Durable. Plus I think they look great. I looked at both bestop and softopper and only went with bestop cause I wanted side windows. But I love the look of the softopper too.

dam that thing looks awesome on that truck. I have the dark blue truck so id like to go with the black or charcoal I haven't seen any pics of the charcoal. How would you rate the water proofing on yours? I can almost guarantee ill be using mine to sleep in during a few rain storms possibly 1-3 in snow storms

It barely dripped once in a while. No probs. if u had a sleep platform ud b golden. It was just in the corners when I first put it on. When u slide the canvas around it closes up the holes. After I did that no probs.

YodaMedic[OP] initial post: ↑

I am looking into soft camper shells, I have ruled out a hard camper shell for the most part but considering the soft top. Generally I like the look of my truck without a shell hence why I am looking into a soft top for a place to sleep when hunting/camping and to keep my gear somewhat dry but easy to remove. I like the idea that the soft shells take less than 2 minutes to take off by yourself and store in a garage, but I don't like the price I have been seeing on several online vendors. Looking at around $550 give or take for a soft top, is that a baseline price? Just seemed a little much for a piece of canvus and some alluminum. Oh and anyone that has a soft top how do you like it? Thanks dudes!

Where are you located?

Killhogcj · Mar 31, 2016

Northern California about and hour north of Sacramento

mosquitoTaco · Mar 31, 2016

so far!....

Killhogcj · Mar 31, 2016

Yah that's a long haul... And probably too expensive to ship. Happy hunting

Wes0311 · Apr 4, 2016

After reading through the thread, it sounds like that coupon doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know of a less expensive place/way to get a Bestop? If I have to suck it up and pay around $700 I will...but anything less would be better!

I haven't checked Craigslist yet. I always feel nervous about buying something used like that online. Thanks!

Killhogcj · Apr 4, 2016

I have one for sale. Only asking $325
