    I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0185PU38A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_imcVEbXXR0PD0
    From googling it, it’s apparently the same as the white bottle one (the original?) just repackaged to Target the automotive market.
    Started raining and isn’t going to stop for a week, so I didn’t have a chance to try it out.

    Been reading quite a bit. I think that ^^^ (Protectant) would be great for the window material, tires, interiors, but this sounds the the best option for The topper itself. I've got a Bestop/Supertop, so I've got even more Window to be worried about. I know, i know. It was inexpensive! :bananadead:

    Came across this dumpsite yesterday. i usually will pick up litter when i see it on the trail (hiking of off-roading), but this was a bit much. the flies were intense.

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.

    It’s really not that hard to go to the dump in most places I’m thinking. Jerk move.

    At that point it's worth a call to the land manager (BLM, USFS, etc.) they would at least appreciate knowing its there and will get it cleaned up eventually. Unlikely they catch the guys but sometimes a piece of mail with the idiots address is found and leads to a big fine.

    Unfortunately we didn't shoot any, didn't bring the boomsticks. We just happened upon the range while we were out and about. I found out Grandma's never shot before. That'll change soon!

    Buy an SPOD! LOL. Right now, I am probably needing the suggestions.
    Otherwise, there are actually a ton of threads about this project worth checking out. Right now, I would say: be patient, do your research, measure 20 times, cut/drill once.

    I use this one. But I guess your topper is canvas and my Tonneau is vinyl. I have never tried the fabric one. If its anywhere near as good as the marine grade one, its a win!

    Without diving too deep into it, I figured it had the PVC material in it like I thought convertible tops did.

    Softoppers website says it’s a “coated automotive convertible fabric”. Whatever the heck that means.

    Looks like I should’ve bought this instead https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000A8JNF0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_q0fVEbG2SKZTD
