New hard top quick release system

[Randy Frischman]

Check out the Pop A Top Quick Release System. You can release your top in about one minute. No tools no bolt. Looks like a winner to me! Go to popatopsuvquickrelease.com

Kinda pricey 218 bucks and they say it's inexpensive

 

[redpony]

Yeah, Looks good. But did I miss seeing the price for the kit?

The video sucked from a consumer stand point. Didnt show me anything except a guy about ripped his sleeve off his shirt.

What is the OP? Im still learnin all the abbreviations on here. ;D

I would say Spammer is a good guess. There are only two Randy Frischman's in the U.S. that I can find. One in Phoenix, OR, and the other in Georgia. Based on the area code of the company, it appears they are located in or near Phoenix, OR. Coincidence?

 

[bushman]

Seems like a good idea to me. However the real reason I hesitate to take my top off is the fact it weighs a freakin' ton.

OP = Original Poster



He joined just to hawk his own goods. No problem with it, but why not just be plain about it.

A guy at work invented a quick release system years ago. You just wait until the nuts vibrate off of the bolts, get on the freeway and take the speed up to about 60 mph and wait for the top to release.;D Then all you have to do is wait for the letters from the attorneys. Forgot to mention it was a camper shell. Flys alot easier.

 

[RustyNutz]

Yep definitely posting his own product. Looked at how it works and I don't think I would trust toggle clamps to hold my top on a highway speeds %). I would also have concerns about keeping body alignment with flexing offload. Sorry I'll pass....

A quick release for a brazier would be more useful.

 

[Broncitis]

Looks like it might do the job, but is clunky and not too aesthetically pleasing to me personally.

If you like it, pick up a McMaster Carr catalog and you can get the same parts to make your own. True DeStaco clamps are pretty pricey. However, I think Enco and maybe even HF sell some knock offs that are much less.

BTW, Randy, welcome, how about an intro first next time (its sort of like foreplay around here, it may not do much for you, but it makes it a bit better for everyone else ).

I thought they were all quick release! A little practice, and it will be off before she even knows what you're doing.;D

 

[73azbronco]

no way I'm using those cheapy clamps to hold on a hundred lb top.

Brazier: 1) a person who works with brass, 2) a shallow covered pan for hot coals, 3) a cooking grill
?:? ;D

Pop A Top: a noisy, ugly, flimsy collection of cheap hardware for causing (MORE) leaks & squeaks in an early Bronco.

 

[71massbronco]

I think he was talking about a quick release off of a bra, short for braziere. Had to google the spelling myself, and I still think I got it wrong!

 

[Steve83]

Yeah, I got what DukeNukem was saying (braSSierE) - I was just messing with him.

I am with him. The top would turn into a Death Kite

PS.. I need a Q-36 Space Modulator for hunting season.. do you know where I can get one? ;D

Stupid sarcasm filter was turned on in my internet browser.;D
