Which Topper Should I Get?

[Wes Siler]

I dig my GFC, have not had any technical issues since purchase. Its fit is spot on and I dig that it has T-tracks by default so I can mount about anything I can think of.

It’s not perfect as it’s pretty rare that anything made for a large user base will be. In the rangers case with the RTT, the platform water drainage will go into you rear windows if down. Pretty easy item to deal with but sucked the first time I experienced it.

I personally prefer the simple industrial design and ruggedness of the GFC over the angular RSI, so that was an easy choice for me. I have not ran into issues being blocked by the side support bars for my purposes but I could imagine the uses cases for the RSI design.

I had a fiberglass topper prior and it was sufficient but it’s fit was far from great.

It seems there are several on this forum that love to throw shade at @Wes Siler because his profession and the relationship building of that profession. Personally I see it as a win for us ranger owners as he is invested in both the ranger, GFC, and his reputation. If I run into issues, I’m going to annoy the heck out of him.

And you're welcome to.

Getting ready to take my Ranger and GFC down to Baja for a month. Second attempt at a Honeymoon since the pandemic was declared the day we got married in Todos Santos. Can't imagine using anything else for a trip like that.

Nobody is throwing g shade for his profession or the contacts it affords him.

We are throwing shade for the unethical way in which he goes about it.

Failing to disclose wether or not he purchased items he reviewed or they were given to him. Cavorting around with the "owners" of the companies which produce the items he "reviews."

Things like that make it pretty obvious to anybody that this man is no "journalist," as he claims to be. He's simply another marketing tool. One that is most certainly being USED to it's full extent.

Dude is a fraud. Plain and simple.

Do you disagree with his review of the Ranger or is that acceptable since you like the ranger?

I've never read it.

The only time I ever read a "review" of his was one he linked to in order to back up his own point. With no mention that he himself wrote it.

Was it positive?

Did his initial review disclose the fact that it was given to him for free?

An "appeal to authority" where one believes the "authority" to be himself.

Arrogance and ignorance.

Just can't get enough of me, huh?

My best guess at this point is "trust fund baby", but hey I've been wrong plenty before.

Dude blocked me and then unblocked me to get another shot in. Would have been extra funny had he then blocked me again.

that's funny stuf right there. all you put out there was the truth. he's obviously paid to be a GFC brand douc*cough*ambassador. I wonder if he's crying to his buddies "but but but they said you guys pay me when all I get is free stuff"
????

he's probably only 5'0" and needs seat jackers to see over the steering wheel

WOOT! I love being on the list. I do feel like I may have crossed a line some where but he said my experience with GFC was not true in so many words... so... brought it on himself

and Dougie @D Fresh Milkman just called it like it is

If you ain't on a list or two, you're doing it wrong!

Hey gotta give the dude credit where credit is due - for me his avatar image has been the inspiration for mine - no body shaming here.

I have read a vehicle review or two on Outside mag - pathetic, time better spent on reading click and clack or watching the 3 stooges or even the pathetic Denver Broncos.
