But every hunter knows the nemesis that follows these perfect days: dust.
Those long, gravel access roads in North Dakota and Wisconsin don’t just coat your truck; they invade it. A fine, abrasive powder settles on everything—your expensive shotgun, your electronic gear, your sleeping bag, and worst of all, into your dog's kennel. You spend more time cleaning your equipment than you did hunting.
What if there was an easy solution? A way to lock the dust out and keep your gear—and your lungs—clean?
At MilesRunner, we built our inflatable truck topper to solve this exact problem. Here’s why it’s becoming the essential piece of hunting gear for savvy hunters across the Midwest.
The Hunter's #1 Problem: Dust & Gear Protection
South Dakota for pheasants to the UP of Michigan for grouse, the story is the same: "Everybody, and I mean, everybody hates the dusty roads."
Traditional solutions fall short:
-
Hard Toppers: Great security, but a nightmare to remove when you need your full bed for hauling decoys, ATVs, or camp gear. They’re also permanently dedicated to one truck.
-
Soft Toppers/Canopies: Lightweight, but they flap in the wind and are notoriously poor at sealing. Dust finds every seam and zipper.
-
Tarps & Straps: A messy, insecure hassle that often does more harm than good, scratching your truck’s paint and failing to protect.
The Hunter's Solution: A Topper Built for the Grind
mobile, secure, and clean gear locker.
Our core innovation isn’t just the inflatable design—it’s the Integrated Compression Seal. Unlike other toppers that rely on flimsy "rain skirts," our system features a robust silicone gasket embedded in a aircraft-grade aluminum rail. When you close your tailgate, it creates a 360-degree, airtight seal that locks out:
-
Dust & Dirt from gravel and farm roads
-
Rain & Snow from sudden weather changes
-
Morning Dew & Moisture to keep gear dry
Your guns, ammo, clothes, electronics, and dog supplies stay perfectly clean and dry, trip after trip.
Leaving gear in your truck at a hotel or remote trailhead is a necessary risk. Our hardened steel clamp and rail system secures the topper directly to your bed rails, making it incredibly difficult to remove without the specialized tools. It’s a far cry from the simple straps and zippers of a soft topper that can be easily cut. Protect your valuable investment with peace of mind.
Hunters are versatile. One day you need a secure gear vault, the next you need an open bed to haul a quartered deer or an ATV. A hard topper can’t do that.
-
Install in 5 Minutes: Inflate with a standard 12V air pump (or our optional high-speed pump) and secure it with our clamps.
-
Remove in 2 Minutes: Deflate, un-clamp, and fold the entire topper into a single compact bag that stows behind your seat.
-
Full Bed Access: When you’re done hunting, get your bed back instantly. No need to recruit a friend to help you manhandle a heavy fiberglass shell.
Whether you're chasing roosters across the plains of South Dakota and North Dakota, working covers for grouse in Wisconsin, or navigating the thickets for woodcock on the Michigan UP border, your gear faces the same challenges. The MilesRunner Topper is the versatile solution that adapts to every leg of your season.
-
The Long Haul: Keep your cabin gear clean and organized on the multi-state drive.
-
Base Camp: Acts as a massive, secure locker at the hotel or cabin.
-
Day Trip: Keep a change of clothes and a cooler clean while you're out in the field.
The Verdict: Stop Compromising, Start Hunting
You’ve invested in top-quality guns, optics, and dogs. You’ve spent years securing prime hunting spots. Don’t let a cloud of dust be the thing that compromises your experience and your gear.
The MilesRunner Topper ends the compromise between security, sealing, and convenience.
