I rode along with a fellow club member on a trail frequently used by the off-road club I'm in and all I can say is fullsize nightmare! It was fun, but there is no way my Jimmy is gonna get through that without some SERIOUS damage to me and the trees.
Since I'm gonna be wheeling in this area for at least 3-4 years, I've gotta adapt the vehicle...period. I'm gonna start out by tapering the back...and that'll mean (obviously) the factory top won't fit anymore.
Also, has anyone chopped and narrowed (without the glass of course) a factory tailgate? Should I go get a pickup tailgate and use that instead?
I'm debating between a full soft top and a cab curtain, what do you guys think?
The soft top wouldn't be anything special, it would just run straight from the back of the roof to the bedrails and the back of the bed. Imagine the look of a military hummer and you know what I'm talking about. The cab curtain would be well...a cab curtain. Both would probably have windows, since I know someone who makes boat canvas tops professionally.
