Rock Crusher cab top and tonneau boot
 

Has anyone bought this product. It is a cab top and tonneau boot that is
suppose to connect into one pretty weather proof unit. I was wondering
because it says it is not waterproof. Has anyone bought this and does it
leak really bad when it rains. I would like to purchase one as a full time
top for my TJ but if it leaks bad I will just keep my full top. I really
like the look it gives the Jeep. Thanks in advance.

Rock Crusher is a cheap offshore knock-off brand sold by 4 Wheel Parts and
others. If their top is anything like their other products you'll rue the
day you bought it.

Re: Rock Crusher cab top and tonneau boot
 

I wouldn't recommend it. A friend has one on her TJ, and i'm not pleased.
There's only three snaps that attach the tonneau to the cab top, and water
rolls right in. It may not be as much of an issue if they included a few bows
to support the tonneau. You could easily fabricate some, but you would still
take the chance of the water running under the cab top.
I am very much against SteelHorse / RockCrusher /
Whatever-name-they-use-this-year. I warned her seeral times before she bought
it, and i've mentioned a few i-told-you-so's since.

If you like staying dry, i wouldn't get it.

OK, guys, thanks for the info, guess I will pass up on this one. Don't want
my TJ becoming a swimming pool. Bestop has one and is suppose to be tight
but it is $500 so guess I'll have to save my pennies.

Thanks again,
Marty

Re: Rock Crusher cab top and tonneau boot
 

Just to soap box a moment on this issue.

Steel Horse, Rock Crusher, etc., are managed by parasites who intentionally
import crap, often not even tested, which they reverse engineer from quality
products made by reputable Companies like Currie, Durango, Warn, Bestop,
etc. These outfits' general scam is to make the items look in catalog print
just like competitors' functional, high-quality, items and then sell them at
half-price. The unsuspecting consumer bites on the scam, buys the junk, is
disappointed and ends up having to spend even more to get the quality item
they thought they were getting in the first place. Both the consumer and the
quality mfr lose in the process, the only entities making out in this deal
are the scumbags at 4 Wheel Parts and the offshore sweatshops.

The only way to fight this is to expose them and their products for what
they are. If you order an item from any of the usual Jeep suppliers, like 4
Wheel Hardware, Quadratec, the aforementioned slime at 4 Wheel Parts, etc.
and it turns out to be some Asian knock-off piece of junk, then send it
back with a letter of complaint and post it here.

I met the folks at Quadratec's Moab booth back in April and let them know
without a doubt what I thought about the quality of some of the Steel Horse
crap they sent me when I was restoring my '76 CJ5. They claim they're not
using them any longer, but caveat emptor: Before you conclude an order with
any of the mail order houses mentioned here, demand to know it the stuff is
from these bogus vendors, and if it is, refuse the order, the delivery, etc.
Eventually between bad word of mouth and lost sales these outfits will tow
the line and Steel Horse / Rock Crusher will be out of business.

As a matter of fact, I think StealHorse went out of business... but I've
also heard they're back with another name selling the same crappy stuff.
Even their plastic parts rust!
