Thanks Guys - here she is
Very nice. I'm about 8 months into my cab. It's not my DD, but I drive it as much as I can. Especially this time of year.

It's a lot more plesant to drive with the top down than up. Summer in Texas can be brutal though. At night or early in the morning are tolerable with the AC on and the top down. Direct half the air into the footwells and the other half through the dash.

Hand wash only. Enjoy.

Hardtop comes off from Oct through June... where 50-70F driving with topdown is very enjoyable.

Enjoy!
I thought about that, but left the hard top off all Summer. Didn't have any problem keeping the car cool as the soft top has enough insultation. I have a light colored top which probably helped.

That way on nice evenings and mornings, I could go top down if I was in the mood.

I DD my Cab in the spring and summer, garage it in the fall and winter. I did the same in my coupe. I enjoy both just the same. However, car washes... NO WAY JOSE!

Too bad fall is so brutal in Portland... I believe that season in other regions, is tailor made for cabs.
