New Top for the 4Runner

I had a vision some weeks ago. I wanted to have a top made (yes, I have given up on sewing myself) for my 4Runner that required NO frame or bows, and could easily be removed or installed on the trail. It needed to be lightweight and easily stored as well. I took my idea to a local canvas and top shop here and walla! They did a wonderful job! Made out of Sunbrella (same stuff as Can-Backs).

Way less then half the cost of a C.B. too!

PM me if you wish the contact information on the company that made it. ( I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY)

Nice! I've been a fan of youre previous work. Finally given up on sewing huh?
Youre write up gave me the courage to attempt it. I wasnt very good at it and wound up buying a used Can-back.

Looks great!!!! Did you lose any storage room in the rear cargo area with the way it cuts down at an angle? I like the license plate BTW!
