I don't know what happened but I got logged out of here and it took me a day to come back up with my password!

Just as well though, the seals around the base look pretty dry rotted and cracked. As soon as you remove the top I'm sure those seals are going to fall apart and an entirely new seal kit will be needed. Just as well I leave it alone.

Hey you are the only other K5 owner I have seen that had a woman as a long time family previous owner! I sure don't blame you for not wanting to mess with top removal if everything is still sealed up nice. My roof will have to come off to replace old weatherstripping eventually as it all looks as you described plus it does leak!

It's like this, Scott, when I got my first drivers license in that truck, Mom told me if I take the top off I can't play with it any more and I couldn't deal with that!! Even when she was sick last spring and we would talk about the old days she asked if I ever took the top off without telling her and I could truthfully say no!

Another issue I have is that most of my life I have had to work out in the South Dakota wind and just thinking about creating more wind to beat the crap out of myself for fun just isn't an option. As you know out here a light breeze is 40 mph!

I can really see your point and I'm sure just about all agree with you. I really do think trail riding topless (the truck, not me and my beer belly! no one wants to see that! LOL) would be great and will try that someday. If there is much highway speed traveling to get there though, it's gonna be with the top on.
