Default Hardtop Cart

So, I am very very willing to make the hard top cart DIY but came across the option to purchase a Bestop HOSS cart for $65. What would you do?

That seems like a really simple decision. Why not just get the cart.

Yeah, it would cost you almost $65 just to source the materials, let alone the cost of the labour (or your own time) to build it. If the Bestop cart you're being offered was say $300-$400 then you might consider your options but for 65 bucks, snap that sucker up!

$65??? ... broken, stolen, or incomplete??? Or you are just really lucky! Its a damn nice cart; has a strap to attach it to the top while it is still on the tub. Then you just lift it over the spare and place it on the casters. Its a solid cart.

google the usual dealers or bestop and you can download a copy of the instructions / assembly sheet for more info. $65 is a steal.

I built mine for about $15 worth of wood hardware and wheels. Carpeted it too with some extra laying around. It took about 45 mins. I wouldn't waste your money on buying a cart.
