Well, I made the big change

I hear that. I usually wake up at the crack of dawn so the morning sun isn’t a factor. Why waste daylight while in the great outdoors?! Windows partially open at night with a makeshift screen setup in my Outback. Works really well. My plan is to take the main portions of the hardtop off when summer camping. Open air experience will be awesome.

Some kind of window screen so that windows could be left open would be good. But the mosquitos were vicious there and not having done the in-vehicle camping before, we didn't have any kind of window screen plan.

As far as camping goes, I have a Eureka tent that is a snap to set up and packs down to a small size. Add an inflatable mattress and a blanket, everything will fit nicely in my 2 door with enough room for the rest of my essential gear to get me by. I'm not gonna rag on anyone for choosing a vehicle that fits their lifestyle better. As much as these things cost, you better be happy with your choice, or what's the point. Right?

My condolences. It sucks when practical wins out!

I also just switched my order to a soft top. I saw a video of how easy it goes all the way down and being someone who always has their moonroof open, I figured it might just be so much easier for me. Plus I live in southern california where it only rains like three times a year. Figure this will be good and worst case scenario I'll bit the bullet in a few years if I have to and buy the hard top.

Not sure why I needed to justify that all for you but, there ya go.

Cheapest 4-door with a MT is 8-grand more than my build. So that's a 26% increase in price, to get the cheaper top.
