First day with top off

[jughead]

I got the K5 about a year ago....today was the first day with the top off.....When people said these trucks are real head turners I would always think they were playing it up....me and the kids took a ride and they were amazed at all the people waving giving the thumbs up...pulling next to us...the kids had a lot of fun and always want to take it out...Wife hates the truck and now does not understand all the attention it gets...

Yeah they do get a lot of attention that's for sure. Especially if it's big, loud and topless(a good thing when it comes to trucks)

The 3 simple rules you need to follow when pulling the top for the first time:

1. Remove top
2. Vacuum interior completely
3. .....THEN drive!


Skipping step 2 is a common mistake, followed by a phenomenon I call "dust bunny blindness".

I'll vouch for that! Although when you forget to vacuum (and you know you will!), you can try opening the wing windows a lot to get a bit of air shooting straight at you and it helps reduce the amount of crap that hits you in the eyes.

I'm jealous, i want to take the top off so bad, but in oregon it rains until august. Then we get both days of summer.


What follows 2 rainy days in oregon?..........Monday

I can't wait for the sun either. I'll probably pull the top in May so I can take advantage of three to four days of "teaser" weather we always have.

FYI, when I first pull the top, I usually just put the tailgate down and use the leaf blower to blow all the dust bunnies out. Works great!

Yep definately want to reduce the amount of dust. I usually vacuum and hit it with compressed air.

On mine I didn't think much about it since everything was just done, Forgot about all the sand from sandblasting in all the crevices. Bad mistake.
