Default Offroad Heroes fastback top

After some research, I decided to go with the Offroad Heroes fastback top. Took 2 hours and I was able to keep my existing Safari Straps and Dirty Dog sunscreen in place with some minor moves. This top is very well designed and built. High quality canvas and YKK zippers and powder coated metal components. It's made in Canada and not China which is a big deal to me. Tim, the owner, was easy to deal with and did everything he said he would. It took about 3-4 weeks to produce and he sent a tracking number when it shipped. I like the fact that when you call, even on weekends, it's him that answers. Get you one!

I thought the owner was a nightmare to deal with from everything I've read over the years.

Super quiet at highway speeds and tight as a drum.

I heard he was odd, but my personal experience was great. I wasn't real sure what to expect after reading the previous posts, but everyone who had the top agreed it was worth the hassle.

My opinion is that it is a great option for folks who don't want made in China and value quality and are willing to pay a slight premium to get it. I think I paid $908 with the exchange rate. A trek top costs $750. Way nicer too.

Have the cargo top. Quality stuff! Tim does run his business different than what everyone is accustomed to, but does get the job done. Actually kinda impressive since he's by himself

I've called him on Sunday and he answered in 2 rings. I actually laughed the last time and told him I was impressed.
