    Questions about adding a pop top to my Gen 1

    Yea, there is a lot more room in or on a LWB. Also measured the roof of the '92 and could easily have a 88" (7'4") long mattress on top.

    Questions about adding a pop top to my Gen 1

    Went out and did some measurements of my Gen 1 SWB roof. Really thought it would be considerably longer than the Sami posted at the beginning of the thread. It is a little, but not to much. I figure I can get a 68 x 48 mattress / sleeping area. Width is OK. Length is probably OK. I'm 5'8"...

    Agreed. purebred is really a misnomer for any dog breed thou. If you look at the Golden Retriever breed (her papa) it is made up of cross breeding other dogs in the 1850's such as the black wavy-coated retriever and tweed water spaniel. The Standard Poodle (her mama) lineage "German Puddle...

    Not ready yet. Our Golden Doodle (black) is 11 1/2 y.o. and acts and energy of a 2 y.o. She is a good dog too, just super gun shy, great nose and excitement for birds but even 1 look at a gun and she runs. Not kidding! She spent 2 nights on the prairie in North Dakota in snow and 20 F when...

    Mitsubishi Dealer Parts Phase-out

    Its true with ANY old vehicle. back when the Gen 2 started production, OEs only had to commit to 10 years of service parts. So figure Gen 2.5 (many parts the same) ended in 2000, we are getting to the end folks. Most OEMs are now at support for 15 years after end of production.

    Questions about adding a pop top to my Gen 1

    True! but either the '92 or '93 will be up for sale in August. My daughter heads off to college this fall, therefore we won't need 3 daily drivers. She can't have a vehicle there until senior year. (2018/2019)

    Nice, but could probably pull off a self conversion for less $$$ and have the option for access to inside the vehicle. Looks like the Maggiolina's run $3000 +/-

    Questions about adding a pop top to my Gen 1

    I already have one. There are a few "cons" to a RTT in my opinion. Not major, but the setup and take down time including putting on the cover is about 30 minutes. Especially the take down. Getting the cover on, on top of a truck is a huge pain. Its great if you are setup in one spot for a...
