Tuff River Tops
Ok, I'm in the market for a new top. What do you guys think of Tuff River Tops and who has them ? Some pics would be nice.
Thanks.

The tops are great, they are not cheap but you get a great quality product. They are very nicely insulated, they are quieter, warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Ray is a great person to deal with, very good customer sercve. I have them on both my trucks and they work and look great. I would include photos but I have not put the time to figure out how to post them here. Some day..I can email photos of mine if you like.

Peresh,
I bought a black top for my 710M from Ray last year, and I have the same feedback as dr4yrk9: the top is very well fabricated, a definite improvement over stock (in looks and performance) and there are a few details that make it a tad easier to use than the stock one (adjustable straps to keep the rear flap rolled up, removeable side plexiglas windows, for example).
Ray is a great person and went to great lengths to accomodate an overseas sale.
I will try to take pictures of mine this weekend.

I don't have one of his tops but I did take one of his first generation tops that one of the SWPA truck owners has on his up to him for repair. The top got caught on a tree branch and pulled back the top layer. Ray fixed the top up while I waited and barely even charged for the material to do the work. He even replaced a few of the plastic clips while he had the top in his shop.
Great product and wonderful customer support.

Thank you all for your help. The cost $2000 but very well worth it.
If anyone has a black top, I'd really like to see pics.
I spoke to Ray yesterday and he's sending me some samples of the colors. He did tell me that Green was impossible to match as they don't sell the army green to vendors unless their making products for the military.
So I'm thinking biege, tweed, forrest green or black.

This is not my truck but I used this set of pictures from Scott's website to get an idea of how green and black would look before ordering from Ray...:

Tuff River tops
TJ,
I know it is probably too soon to tell but how does it hold up with the rain? We may return to WA in a couple of years and If I start now saving for the top I may have enough in a year or so to get one. Really like the looks of the tan colour as my pinz is the standard OD but I may paint it desert sand one day. When I had my Mog it was desert sand and really was much cooler to the touch. It all comes from rattle cans and not difficult to match if I crunch something.
