Hello,

I'm Mike and last week I purchased my first truck ever. Just wanted to day hello. I'm coming out of a 08 Mazda Speed 3 witch I miss very much. But I own a DJ business and the Mazda just wasn't cutting it any more.

I've got a 2012 Crew Cab, ST, Hemi 4x4. So far love the Truck. I installed the Bestop today. What a PITA to install.

Well just wanted to say hello.

Sure will. As of now its been thru snow and rain and not a single drop of water on the bed. I have not tried to take it down yet. Its recommended just like a convertible to do it above freezing temps. Hi today is 38....... when I installed it temps where around 60. I still had to stretch the canvas to put it on. I got my off Amazon, I believe this is the only way to get them directly form Bestop. Free shipping, no tax 575.00. Everywhere else I seen them for 750 and up.

Installed 55w 6k bi-xenons yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xwqj5XSi94k&feature=youtube_gdata_player


On a side note, went to Walmart this morning looking for ammo. Came back to a missing trailer hitch. WTF? I was so mad, I've replaced it with a hitch with a lock. Who ever did it was lucky I didn't see them doing it.

Very nice! Those are some bright lights. Those should keep you from hitting deer and jaywalkers. hopefully lol.

About the tow hitch...stuff like that makes me lose faith in people. Sorry you had that happen to you, i guess at least they didn't damage your truck or anything.
