• Are your
products easy to install?
Yes! As a matter of fact, we would call it
simple! By only using common hand tools and
carefully reading the instructions, installation is
very easy.
• Were you the first to market with a Trans Mule
hard top?
Nope, but we are now the top manufacturer in the
world for our style of top. One of our (former)
competitors beat us to market by a few weeks with a
plastic top. However, they are long since out of
business. We can easily say that we have the world’s
best-selling hard top for the Kawasaki Trans Mule.
We have sold thousands of units, have a tremendous
amount of Kawasaki dealers, and always keep products
in stock. We do NOT wait for orders before making
our products. As a matter of fact, we constantly
keep making products to keep up with demands.
Additionally, our patents which have been filed will
ensure our unique designs will be around for years
to come.
• What tools are required?
On the hard top, a large Phillips head
screwdriver, a 7/16” wrench, and a small adjustable
wrench is all you need. On the drink holder, a small
drill/bit, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 3/8” wrench
is all you need!
• Can my Mule be trailered with your top
installed?
Yes. Our tops have been tested to legal highway
speeds (here in Texas), up to 70mph. However, just
like Kawasaki recommends on their small top for the
one-seat 3010 Mule, we HIGHLY recommend that you
quickly wrap a few small ratchet straps over the top
and under the rollbars while towing. Why? While we
have tested the product to 70mph safely with no
straps, we cannot control the effects of Mother
Nature. If a strong headwind is encountered, this
can cause excessive stress on ANY product being
trailered into a strong wind. Let’s say you
encounter 30mph headwinds while trailering the Mule
at 70mph…this creates a force of 100mph winds
against the hard top which we cannot control. The
top (without support straps) cannot handle this in
our estimation. Installing a few temporary straps
(or ropes) over the top only takes a few seconds and
ensures a safe travel with your Mule on a trailer.
By using this method, we have trailered our
company-owned Mules all over the country to show
Kawasaki dealers, without ever having a problem
whatsoever. Safety and reliability only takes a few
seconds. We cannot control or predict driving habits
or the weather. Use a few straps and you can tow
your Mule anywhere.
• What about the ‘myths’ of having to raise,
remove, or slide the top to convert from one to two
seat mode, and/or use my dump bed?
Great question! First of all, you do NOT have to
touch our top to change your Trans Mule from a one
seat to a two seat configuration. Also, if you wish
to use the dump bed feature while in the two seat
(short bed) mode, no problems! Our top will not
interfere with dumping the bed in the short-bed
mode.
• So, I can use the dump bed feature while in the
short bed mode, and I can also change back and forth
from one seat to two seat mode without a problem?
Absolutely you can. No problems at all!
• What if I am in the long bed / one-seat mode?
Can I use the dump bed feature?
Not in the long bed mode. We believe that most
people bought the Trans Mule to have the flexibility
of having two bench seats, and that the short bed
mode is the most common configuration for the Trans
Mule. We believe that seldom will people need to
dump in the long-bed mode. The loaded bed will most
likely be so heavy that you will need an electric
bed lift.
• But I see that Kawasaki offers a hard top that
tilts up in the back? Why?
Kawasaki does indeed make a Trans Mule roof that
tilts up. If you need to use the dump bed feature IN
THE LONG BED MODE, perhaps this Kawasaki roof is
more suited for you. We have missed a few sales
opportunities with farmers who haul round hay bales
and so forth, in the long bed mode. This is OK,
since these folks had special needs. However, in
most instances, a top which facilitates long bed
dumping is not a necessary feature. Our hard top is
about half the price of the models that allow for
long-bed dumping, and is much lighter than the steel
models that slide or tilt. Our surveys while
designing this hard top indicated that very few
people would ever use the long bed dump mode.
• What if I need to buy multiple items? Is there
a shipping discount?
Absolutely! Please call us for details.
