When considering 4x4 accessories, there is nothing that can change the look of a vehicle or add to its characteristics to the extent of a custom built hardtop. A bespoke hardtop will convert the looks of your pickup and provide security and style that you have been looking for.
There is a wide range of hardtops on the internet, as there is with most 4x4 accessories, and your decision will rely on certain specific requirements as far as style and the role you will require your new hardtop to play. In the event that you need your vehicle for work purposes then you will be looking for a design that will last for the life of the vehicle.
Regarding security, a hardtop will obviously determine that nobody can access the cover of your vehicle and steal your belongings, however there is more to it than that. You can also specify security grilles, tinted windows and a frame fitted to expand the security part of your vehicle much more. By getting your security up to scratch you will rest easy that you don't give opportunists the chance to break and enter. One alternative is to purchase a hardtop with a side access shelter which allows access via a door to the back of your vehicle through the side of the hardtop. Another benefit of this is that you don't have to go and open the boot each time you need to access. These lids can make everything much easier, especially if you are a business owner and need direct access to your truck in the minimum of time.
At least 50% of 4x4 owners have dogs as pets
At least 50% of 4x4 owners have dogs as pets and canine-friendly design solutions are extremely popular. For example, when a dog is in the back of the pick-up with the hard top in situ it can get very hot, but people don't like to leave their side windows open for security reasons, or in case the dog gets stolen. Therefore a secure hardtop should have a double skin as well as a suspended roof lining which acts as another barrier so that heat cannot penetrate through. To allow air to circulate, it's recommended to have a glass window between the hardtop and the back of the cab.
Most tonneau covers have as standard two pieces of glass that part at the front, but they stick and jam, so choose a design with a front window that can specifically slide halfway is recommended. Therefore it's impossible for the dog to get out with this open, or for anyone to get at it. Keeping dogs in mind, another accessory is an anti-slip rubber mat that fits over the pick-up bed and stops the pet from scrambling about on the move, yet also prevents trapping the paws in the gap between the bodywork and tailgate when this is down.
