After Hurricane Helene wrecked my roof, hood, and windshield, I thought about chopping the roof and caging it too. A soft top would be practical for rain or sun, but having an interior so exposed makes me uneasy. Hard tops feel safer, especially when you’re leaving the truck at a trailhead.
I’ve seen someone weld in a proper tailgate and window, and it actually looked great. Not my style, but the execution was impressive. Anyone else seen something like that?
