Wide Wing Pickup Topper
When Peter Males decided to put a topper on his pickup, he didn't like the ones he found on the market. Rear access doors made it hard to use all the space in the box without constantly climbing in and out on his hands and knees. He decided to design his own topper and it worked so well he now manufactures and sells it.
The innovative "wide wing" topper has full-opening doors on each side that make the entire pickup bed easily accessible and yet can be closed to provide water tight protection.
"It's almost unbelievable how much more usable it makes your pickup. The doors are made out of lightweight fiberglass-laminated plywood and lift up effortlessly on gas struts. It's got as much height as any other topper and the side doors open upright down to the bed of the truck," says Males, who removes the entire pickup box to install his topper. The doors are rubber-sealed and fitted with locking handles. A roof rack on the topper can handle up to a 250 lb. load. There's an interior light for night time use.
Sells for about $1,800 for a full-sized pickup. Males is looking fora U.S. distributor.
