Yours has openable windows, right? I might take it off your hands. :thinking:
That's the only way they sell. I had to cut my old solid window one up cause nobody wanted it. The top I bought for $100, with sliders, was used a couple years and replaced with a soft top. I turned around and sold the hardtop for....... $100.
 
Id run a fiberglass hood if I found one.

Otherwise I see no purpose for one.

No hood is convenient when lines blow, something starts leaking, something starts on fire.....
 
What I get from this statement is "not having a hood is good for those who do not maintain their stuff".

So tell me again...why wasn't I able to ride in your rig last summer? :wink1:

Oh yeah, because of stuff that required hood raising. :deal: I don't wanna sound like I agree with Adam, but that's his one reasonable point. 30 year old rigs are often in need of maintenance. Some of them need much more than others.
 
I find it funny for a guy who touted himself all about factory sheetmetal look to not run a hood... :whistle:

I think it was just a lazy decision and that it looks stooopid IMO... that coming from a guy who often did test hits back in the day with hoods off Cuda's, etc...


that said, hope ya had a blast today!
 
Haha I don't mind.

Had fun. Crappy video but I was doing 65 mph on the gps speedo when I caught a little air.

Hit a jump a little earlier in the day and a kid that was on a quad next to me stopped by and goes "holy $hit!!! You had at least 4' of air when you jumped it back there".

Blazer did good :)

 
Hood off is nice. I ran 2wd and about 4K rpms for 3 hours straight pretty much. Never got over 210 degrees.

Used 15 gal of gas in the dunes. ;)
 
or those who beat on their stuff mercilessly until something decides to make a quick exit in the form of a mist, vapor, or fireball.

Now that sounds more like it.

Glad you finally let it outta the shop to play a lil bit. Too bad you didnt get your jump on vid, would like to have seen that. Looks like its working great for ya.
