Can the Softopper Replace Hard Camper Shells for Pickup Trucks? | Review and Demo

An open pickup truck bed is nice but you want the coverage and security a fiberglass shell provides when you have gear back there. Slapping a hard, basically permanent shell on the back of your truck means you've just lost a big part of the utility of your truck. So what to do? Enter the Softopper, a convertible soft-sided shell that goes from full coverage to packed away in moments. Will it wo...

My Summer with the UBCO eMotorcycle | AJ Podcast 007
Im a huge fan of the Tom Bihn truck and monster truck. Heavy duty cordura and no over the top branding. I have one as a Dad bag and one to carry my gear to the firehouse.
I just placed an order for my Maverick, I really wanted something like this...what I am saying, Exacly like this for my 2 dogs!!! Thank you!
Just ordered the 20 Thanks for the review man 👍🏻
I bought these tires. 5500 miles in. All 4 tires are cupping and it’s getting worse. All 4 were road force balanced and alignment checked at installation. The tires are new enough that they still have those blue lines on them. I really hope their warranty people come through.
Love your tyre review especially on the NOKIAN OUTPOST ALL TERRAINS WOULD LOVE TO TRY THEM IN AUSTRALIA CAN YOU ADVISE US WHERE IN THE LAND DOWNUNDER WE CAN BUY THEM
it's a great product unless you receive defective equipment. Spent months researching and finally spent over $1,300 including accessories for a planned vacation which I had to cancel due to inability to get a functional softopper in time. Too bad it arrived with defective parts. After finding more defects tried to get refund. They will charge you hundreds of dollars to return defective equipment!! Buyer beware. Sure they will keep replacing under warranty, but if they cannot send out one that works the first time how can you trust this company?
In France opinels are 11€ 😅 even cheaper
I considered all the tires you mentioned, did my research and recently chose Nokian nAT's for our 2019 Tacoma TRD Offroad and couldn't be happier. Excellent road manners, wet weather grip, and quiet compared to the Ultraterrains. We live in the NW and I'm looking forward to winter travel coming up. The increase in gas mileage was also a pleasant surprise. They cost more however it'll be worth it over 60K miles and with the additional peace of mind. Appreciate your recommendation!
what colour is the slip-on one?
What if you would stop smacking your lips and cleaning your nails?
In my fifty four years I've had several, lost some, wore out one and have one on order right now. Great cheap knives that exist to be used, not treasured. One of France's greatest icons. No idea what these inches or ounces are though (says the rest of the modern world!)
To me not only best value folder is Opinel but best folding knife is Opinel. Best fixed blade is my Mora Companion no matter the price. I have collected and used many top knives for decades and this is my judgement. Respect from Iran 🇮🇷
This is a great product
Thanks for making this video, sold me on a set for my 200. Hard to find info on these.
n°9 and garden n°8 are admirable EDC knives, that I tend to carry a lot, sold around 10-11 euros here in France. On the countryside almost everyone has one in the pocket, from farmers to gardeners and growers, and grandmas of course :-)) It's such a great companion when hicking and eating outside. I tend to love carbon steel but their 12C27M performs almost the same and doesn't rust...but it doesn't develop this beautiful patina ^^'
58:46 How can she love the animals and environment so much but insist that mothers have the right to kill their babies?
49:40 She is right and wrong at the same time. The Jordan river has NEVER been an EPA superfund site. The Great Salt Lake lakebed has had arsenic, heavy metals, and mercery have been the Great Salt Lake and its lakebed sense the end of the Ice Age. The shrinking of the Great Salt Lake is a major problem and as an elected officer in the Utah Republican Party I can tell you that she is 100% on not growing alfalfa in Utah, but recycling wase water that should be going into the Great Salt Lake is a waste of resources.
what high temps have you run these tires in? I'm coming due for new tires on my Frontier shortly to replace the Duratracs I've been running but the Phoenix area and surrounding desert is a pretty harsh climate. I had selected the now-discontinued Duratracs because they had a decent enough winter rating for occasional trips to the high country in addition to their capabilities in the desert, wondering if these Nokians can handle the road temps here.
bs. here in Sweden Mora and Hultafors is what you want. then again im in the knife capitol of the world Sweden, soo your miles may vary :)
I am currently about 3/4 of the way through Walking Man and thoroughly enjoying it. Glad I came across this today. Outstanding!
The no.8 carbon i bought had a warped blade, it looked like that the logo was stamped so hard thet it bent the blade. and the locking ring would loosen up as soon you would apply any pressure while cutting. I had to do a bunch of work on it just to make it usable. I do like it, it has some really good things going on like weight to blade size ratio and very good slicing abilities if you do light tasks like food prep.
I'm getting the Ink Black Tomorrow
Can they hold any kind of load ontop? Like mabe 100pounds?
No, they can not.
There are racks that wrap around it that support this function. I think Softopper even partnered with a company that makes this product. It should be featured on their website.
Enjoy the review and feedback on its multi uses. I just got rid of my fiberglass shell for many of the reasons you mentioned. Have a bed when needed but also go camping and carry cargo without it flying off. I never left valuables in my bed with the hard shell, so this would be no different. One option I'm considering is a rear 3rd brake light that's just $39.99 as of today. Easy to wire and tap into one of the rear brake lights.
No they are not. They are cheap and nasty and crude.
There are aftermarket clips made specifically for Opinels you can get, but most cost as much or more than the knife itself. Or you can DIY a universal one with screws and some epoxy or glue in the holes and on the threads to make it more sturdy.
Ok. I’ve got two #8 Opinel knives. Love them but, my Mora knives are in my opinion the best deal going. You can do more with a Mora.
Great review, thank you. I just picked a set of these up for my bronco. For an F load rating these aren't super stiff and give an excellent ride. Much lighter than E and F rated tires from the other top manufacturers too. I'm super happy with them so far on asphalt. Hopefully they work well off road. Road noise on the hiway is there, but not bad at all.
Close the blade turn the ring , blade is locked in the handle 😊
i use the n°10 daily for cooking.
Hi! Are these zero drop shoes?
are these removable?
Yes!
Also thankfully available in carbon steel (in French : Carbone) Also (#7) my EDC.
If they had a flat 1 id get 1 cylinded in ur pocket = dead leg
roll it up to the inside.fold the back flap to the inside then roll it up even. first the sides then the back. it all tucks in nicely.and does not collect dirt and rain that way.
I've got 10,000 miles on my Outpost AT (the prior gen, made in Russia). Love them. They are quiet on the highway. They don't seam to have impacted my gas mileage (over the stock Honda Ridgeline tires). They work great in the snow. Not so great on ice, but what non-winter specific tire does? Would highly recommend them.
I ran these on a 2018 Silverado. I had about 40k miles of mostly interstate travel on them and still had over 60% of the tread left when I punctured a side wall on a giant locust tree thorn. They were super quiet and really great in all conditions. Easily my favorite AT I've ever used. I would have probably got 80k out of the set if I would have not had the issue. I would recommend to anyone.
I had 3 pairs of their hemp work pants, and the pockets failed pretty quickly in all of them. I wish they would use the pant material like Duluth Trading does. I loved them otherwise, but I won't buy from them again.
Lol edc people buy flee market junk just to hoard it. Any man who works with a knife carries something like this or a case or old timer.
Mora
Ibwanted 1 and when u said stainless steel i know right aeay its junk. U cant sharpen stainless steel. U can if u have a mechanical sharpener and ur at home but u cant just sharpen that junk by hand. I really wanted 1. Ive carried a knife since i was 5 its another part of me and ive learnt stainless is garbage.
the stainless steels ones are not junk, I have one, and it arrived razor sharp out of the box. and you can sharpen stainless steel properly if you take your time . I use Japanese waterstones, 3000 & 8000 grit, and can get my knives scary sharp. Opinel does make carbon steel versions as well, so get one of those and you wont be disappointed.
Wrong, period! Mora knives are better.
Agreed but these are a great value for the money.
Yay. I can eat marshmallows again!! Boo Gelatin
Great topic guys, thank you. I can recommend a fantastic book by the adventurer/doctor/physician Dr. Mike Stroud called Survival of The Fittest. Mike was Sir Ranulph Fiennes companion on their epic unsupported crossing of Antarctica in 1993 which is still the longest unsupported foot journey by man. Mike's field of expertise is as one Europe's finest physicians, specialising in the limits of human endurance and advising the ministry of defence, Olympic athletes etc with a backgrond in anthropology. In the book, he sheds fascinating light on human evolution, the problems caused by our modern sedentary lifestyles both physical and psychological, and how foot journeys release all kinds of chemicals in our brains and stimulate our neural pathways. He says hiw we are supremely evolved to walk long distances through challenging terrains day after day year-round through all weather's. Quite simply, Mike says that we have evolved to walk.
Why are the treadwall notches facing forward on your drivers side tires but facing rearward on your passenger side tires? I can’t find directional arrows on the tires so which way are they designed to be mounted? Block notches forward or notches rearward? Looks like 2 of your tires need to be removed from rim, flipped and remounted to rim to stay symmetrical.
They are not directional. The sidewall design is basically just a mountain silhouette. It's just extra protection and grip in soft stuff and something that makes the tire look more appealing and different from others when viewing the sides instead of the tread. Tons of people buy tires just for how they make their vehicle look. I think there was a small difference in the brand and model lettering from one side to the other. Then you just pick the side you want out and go with that all the way around.
@@243bmk I appreciate the response..its just odd that the tire looks slightly different on drivers side vs passenger side...guess it's my ocd kicking in. I tried flipping the tire around but it doesn't matter how you mount them..drivers side and passenger side will never match with Outpost nAT's. All that said, it isn't stopping me from buying them. Thanks for sharing your content. Keep it coming!
@@canadoescalling1800Don’t pick fly shit from pepper.
I work at a tire shop. This comment is exactly why I always make sure I put the same side of the tire facing out all the way around 😂. Usually, I use the DOT/manufacture date number as a reference.
@@kadengundersen498 I have these tires on truck now and doesn't matter how you mount them the drivers side appears slightly different from passenger side and vice versa. Also they have dot printed on both sides of tire. It's a tad odd but only a keen eye will ever notice and overall performance has been exceptional.
If I may... Reno. Pretty affordable. Incredible access to all kinds of main attractions and hidden gems.
After I started drinking Bud Light, I started to like totes too! (j/k thanks for the great review)
As someone who's had Falken Wildpeaks, BFG KO2, Toyo AT III, Goodyear Duratracs, Open Range ATs, my Nokian Outpost nATs on my Cayenne have been the best AT I've ever owned by a pretty good margin, especially when it comes to winter traction and deep snow. Glad to see these are getting more attention. Now that I've traded in my Cayenne for a G05 X5, I'm quite torn on whether I want to step down to an 18" and run these or the Outpost APT or ever WRG5 in a 19" size. Any plans for coverage of those tires in the near future?
It is practical looking. It is edc in the truest sense😊
I love opinel knives. Very good quality.
All tire reviews should be like this video, very informative and to the point. Thank you!
Agreed. There are a lot of “tire review” channels now that have grown very popular, but are nothing more than people regurgitating specs and pointing out the obvious…confusing a review with an overview.
