Anyone thinking about putting the top back on yet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's definitely getting close to time to be thinking of putting the top back on their blazer or jimmy,atleast around here.Over the weekend it was in the mid 90s here but now its starting to look like fall.Tomorrow it's suppose to be in the low 80s and then lower 70s after that and a few days in the mid to lower 60s and then nothing warmer after that.I'll probably put the top on mine by the end of next week unless the weather man says it's going to warm back up.I've got the blazer almost ready for the top to go on.The windshield frame is in,and the windshield is in.I just need to remember where I put the hard top at..lol.I think it's behind one of the many trucks,just dont know which,maybe it's propped up against a tree? I don't know but I'll find it

I've just got to get one of the plastic pieces that goes on top of the door at the front,since mine is broke,and drop the top back on.Maybe the drivers door will shut better once the top is back on

Anyone else getting ready to put the top back on theirs? If I had a soft top I may keep the hard top off longer but I dont so yeah..

Nice - I would love to have more than 2 seasons. I am really tiring of South Texas lately.

Mine backon for the winter..

ABLAZN · 10-09-2007, 01:23 AM

ON......mine never came off this summer

Just as well, we had over an inch of rain in one weekend here a couple of weeks ago.

**special-K** · 10-09-2007, 07:05 AM

Dustin,I didn`t know you were driving it,yet.When I had mine it was on and off all the time until I got a soft top.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-09-2007, 09:26 AM

I was just looking at my hard top last night and thinking, do I put it on or find the time to install a used Fastrack that I bought a couple months ago.

Kind of makes more since to put the hard top on for the winter so not to have the extra wear on the softtop.

What do you all think?

**Steven B** · 10-09-2007, 10:19 AM

Getting ready to put mine back on. Need to recruit a couple of friends. Real short summer. Oh Mark, I need a favor. LOL

bouncytruck · 10-09-2007, 11:23 AM

I was going to put mine back on last weekend, but I ran out of time. I'm going to try for it again this weekend.

cstanley · 10-09-2007, 01:46 PM

yeah, it's just now starting to be bearable with the top off!
did i ever tell ya'll the story about when I put my 4" lift on? i now have to let the air out of the tires to get it into the garage and drop the top back on, just to get back out!

i'm really not looking forward to putting it back on...

Merlot will have it's back on 11/3 (Day I loose the garage spot to the wife)

GQ has never had it's on since the 1st week that I got it in the fall of 04

Yep,its been drove a few times,just not a daily driver.I mostly take it out on the weekends or when I'm going somewhere close.Not any far distances,I've probably put 30-40 miles on it so far.

I still haven't taken mine off yet, been too damn hot. Last couple mornings in the 70's have felt pretty good.

**truckster** · 10-09-2007, 09:33 PM

I just put mine back on this weekend. I miss my panoramic sunroof!

OLD SKOOL K5 · 10-09-2007, 10:12 PM

Sad to say but mine is back on.

1969k10stepside · 10-10-2007, 09:24 PM

It was chilly all day with temps in the lower 60s.It may have not felt that cold if it wasnt 94 over the weekend but in a month or two I'll be wishing for the warm weather.It was down in the lower 50s this evening and I took the blazer for a cruise.It was not to bad,but was wearing a light jacket..I might postpone putting the top back on since the weather man says it is suppose to be back in the mid 70s next week.Maybe by early November it will be on?? By the way,I found the hard top,I had it sitting behind the '79 K10..

BLUE THUNDER · 10-10-2007, 10:44 PM

herb you said it. its been way too hot here. my rig isnt running yet, so taking off the top would be a waste of time. mario
