ADDITIONAL INFO

The Only Soft Top with a Built-In, Load-Rated Roof Rack

No separate purchase needed for a 100% waterproof cover and load-bearing rack. No added hardware. No wasted time. The WildTop is a no-compromise solution for Jeep and truck owners who demand both form and function. With a load rating of 330 pounds while driving and 1,500 pounds when parked, the WildTop BEAST delivers class-leading capacity and strength. Its sturdy design supports rooftop tents, storage platforms, and bulky gear securely at highway speeds and across rough terrain, giving you peace of mind on every journey.

360-Degree Rack System

Our integrated rack system wraps the entire roof-line, giving you the ability to mount your gear in any direction. It offers flexibility to carry different loads without the hassle of changing your setup from one trip to the next. The North–South racks are ideal for a rooftop tent, as that orientation best suits the footprint and mounting style of most tents. The East–West racks are perfect for transporting longer items like ladders, timber, kayaks, surfboards, skis, and similar gear. Now you don’t need to choose between one setup or the other, or swap racks depending on their use case. With the BEAST you have 360-degree N/S and E/W versatility straight out of the box.

T-Slot Flexibility by Design

The integrated T-slot channels along the internal frame and racks provide a versatile system for mounting, hanging, or securing a wide range of accessories and equipment exactly where you need them. The T-slots allow brackets and mounts to slide and lock into place anywhere along the internal frame or racks, offering a customizable setup without drilling or permanent modifications. Perfect for accessories such as jack loaders, ladder/kayak rollers, paddles, axes/shovels, lighting mounts, and more.

Complete Bed Access

Thanks to the easy zip closures the WildTop side and rear panels roll up in seconds and stay rolled up with the aid of our custom magnets for complete and easy access to the entire bed. With a WildTop, your gear will stay dry, and it'll also stay within arm’s reach. No more crawling through the bed to get to gear up front or to reach corners of your truck bed. Thanks to the ultra strong magnets, you can even drive with the sides rolled up Safari Style.

Built Tough – No Compromises

Handcrafted in Melbourne, Australia from the highest quality raw materials, our WildTop Soft Truck Cap is made to withstand our Outback environment’s harsh and relentless desert conditions. A little known fact about Australia's vast and changing landscape is that we also are home to vast snowy mountains that develop thick layers of snow during the peak of winter. You can rest assured knowing that your WildTop BEAST Soft Truck Cap also proudly withstands anything our winter blizzards have tried to throw at it.

A rust-free, jet black anodized aluminum frame supports our thick 16 oz double-folded, waterproof Australian canvas. The WildTop Soft Truck Cap is the most waterproof topper on the market thanks to special sewing techniques, double folds, and waterproof 3M tape between each layer. We’ve also ensured it is UV-resistant, rot- and mildew-resistant, and super easy to clean. This technical canvas material has stood the test of time, shrugging off the harsh Australian sun, extreme winds, pouring rain, and the heaviest snowfall.

Simple D.I.Y Installation

There’s no need to seek out a professional installer for this one. You can do it yourself in under 2 hours. It mounts securely to the tub without the need for drilling into the truck bed, giving you total peace of mind when hauling heavy loads on top using the load-rated frame. After that, the smart no-drill, quick 2-person lift design can be removed or refitted in just a few minutes.

More Room for What’s Important

Don’t let a heavy topper hold you back. The BEAST’s innovative design weighs under 120 pounds, maximizing your payload capacity. Load up for epic adventures with friends, family, and all the gear you need—without compromising on your truck’s performance. Explore more, pack more, and conquer every journey with confidence.
