thanks but it's not mine it's one of Toyota Austrailia/New Zealand's marketing slogans for the Hilux.

Or check this new company based out of Canada. I talked to the guy on the phone and he seemed pretty cool. He is a Toyota fan also. I think he is even on this site. His tops sell for $850 I think.

Check out this guy's web site. I have been thinking about making one for my classic Bronco.

I took a look at that guy's website and the sheer number of fabric choices is amazing. If I read his site right any fabric pattern sunbrella offers is available. He links you to the sunbrella samples page and they have some really funky patterns/colours you may even be able to get an exact or near exact colour match to your truck. His prices seem really reasonable too for what you get.

i had mine made locally here in the uk as they are not avaiable over the counter and the truck is also bobbed. try a boat retrimmer as they make the canvas tops . the side and rear windows but are not totally removeble

pyro · 05-19-2008, 02:21 PM
