Pros and Cons - Hard Top vs Truck Cab

(1/2) > >>

thepsychoman:
Okay - currently got a 90 Tdi full length hard top. Great for practicality, but a pain in the asphalt off road - especially in trees. So - I'm thinking of swapping to a truck cab. Pros seem to be - better off road (more clearance), can be useful, handy for throwing stuff in the back, more potential re future mods, roll cage, etc. Cons: not as practical, less space in cab (will the seats still recline properly?), lack of secure storage. So - has anyone done this and wants to share view (good and bad)?

defenderdan:
I think you have pretty much summed it up yourself. It depends how you use your truck. Mine is purely an offroad play truck So i swapped my hard top for a truck cab, visability is great and all gear is easily accessable in the back. Most annoying bit is if i have to park on the road then everything has to be removed from the back. I think if i wanted a more multipurpose vehicle i would stick with a hard top. :)

Edge:
Truck cab :D  :D .
Buy another vehicle for practical everyday use :wink: .

Litch:
You can make a secure lid to cover the rear tub, that way you can keep a certain amount of kit on board with a reasonable degree of security.

i drive my motor every day ,and find the truck cab warmer in the winter and breezier in the summer, i can pile rubbish past the roof shoot off the back ,cook on the back throw god knows how many pushbikes on the back ,and it looks better  :lol: truck cab for me :D
