Re: soft top. ON or OFF in summer ? what do you do ?
Sorry.. I wasn't very clear on that. It does go on over a folded down soft
top, just wont fit if the top is up.

Re: soft top. ON or OFF in summer ? what do you do ?
This week I went ahead and put the top up since we're obviously having a
long rainy spell. It came down pretty hard last night & this morning!
I wasn't really clear on the cab cover thing... it'll fit with the soft top
folded down... just can't be up.
I'm still trying to find some local "legal" trails. Did head out to the
Superlift OHV park in Hot Springs again last Friday and had a good time with
a buddy in his Grand Cherokee and another in his Toyota Land Cruiser. I'll
post here when we schedule another trip, either there or on some other
trails closer to home.

Re: soft top. ON or OFF in summer ? what do you do ?
This week I went ahead and put the top up since we're obviously having a
long rainy spell. It came down pretty hard last night & this morning!
I wasn't really clear on the cab cover thing... it'll fit with the soft top
folded down... just can't be up.
I'm still trying to find some local "legal" trails. Did head out to the
Superlift OHV park in Hot Springs again last Friday and had a good time with
a buddy in his Grand Cherokee and another in his Toyota Land Cruiser. I'll
post here when we schedule another trip, either there or on some other
trails closer to home.
