Topo Toppers

[shmabs]

Greetings Expo,

I was wondering if anyone here has any first hand experience with Topo Toppers? As of now they are focusing on Tacoma's, with a few out in the world based on their Instagram, and now they're venturing into the Tundra world.

I do like the full pop up vs wedge. I really liked my GFC but would have preferred the room that a regular pop up has.

Lots of newcomers to the topper manufacturing space. Looks like an AT Atlas inspired knock off without the benefit of the standard features of an AT Atlas Topper

Having been inside of more than a handful of your toppers, I still think you guys build some of the best stuff out there.

However, I am interested to get up close and personal with a topo topper to see what’s what.

When I finally can swing it, I would
love to own an Aterra, but it will require a much more HD truck than my current Tundra.

That kind of setup is still several years off for me, but I can dream and plan right?!?

Next step in the evolution is to figure out it's even nicer if its wider up top ie the camper is not contoured to the cab, which takes you full circle lol.

One thing about the Topo Topper offers that AT Overland doesn't offer - the actual product. IE, you can get one. In 2-3 months. Compared to a year or so for the AT Summit.
If I could get a Summit in a reasonable time, I'd buy a truck for it right now and get the AT going. But I'm not interested in giving a deposit and having to wait a year.

Holy cow, is AT Overland really a year out on builds? When I purchased my summit in 2019 the quoted wait time was 10 weeks and they finished it in 9 weeks.

Yeah, I spoke to TAV in Albuquerque since they're AT dealers, and that's what they said.

Every dealer is different, not everyone has 12 month lead times. I have AT topper spots available starting in July, still fully customizable.

Contact Equipt Expedition Outfitters if interested.

That would be an Alu-Cab canopy.

Two weeks ago AT Overland quoted 40 weeks for an AT Atlas ordered direct, and said times for ordering through dealers would be different.

Hello shmabs,
I am a happy and satisfied owner of a Topotopper for my ‘16 Tacoma. My buying and owning experience has been nothing but positive. Happy to answer any questions.

I ordered a topo topper last month and pick it up next month. I'll try to update this when it shows up. Talking to them on the phone was a breeze, and they are altering a couple little things for me. I like that its essentially a bed topper with a tent, I need the bed space for dog boxes, tools, etc. I had a GFC rooftop tent on a topper, but it really quickly became too small with my growing kids...

Agree with your description Levik and was looking for the same. Here’s some of what it looks like in use.

Gojoe,

That looks like a nice mobile ski cabin! Any chance you're in northern CA?
