I decided I wanted a top for shade on my new L2501.
Scoured the marketplace and found a fiberglass truck cap advertised for $50.00
Once I got there and was shootin the breeze with the owner we agreed on a price of $40.00
and he helped me load it in my truck.
I then went about cutting it down to a rough size which turned out to be too big for my liking.
I then settled on a size of 44" wide by 59" long, I left the back in tact because it has a cool LED third brake light that I would like to hook up .
I painted it with some Kubota orange . One can did it.
Made up some brackets and got it mounted. I ordered the square u bolts from McMaster Carr, they are 3" by 2.5" by 3/8" they came with washers and nuts
I bent up the brackets and made the angle ones out of some 1 1/2" angle iron I had
It should work fine. I have some LED strobes that I want to add for when I'm either in the road or close to it.
