We are going to Daytona Beach next week. About a 13 hour drive. This will be our first trip with the Gladiator. I am looking forward to driving it on the beach.
I need some opinions on driving there and back with the soft top or hard top. I've already got the soft top installed. It will be my wife and two younger children. I know it will be fun rolling back the soft top and possibly taking off the doors when we get there. But I am concerned how the trip will be in case we run into bad weather along the way. I know a little rain won't hurt and there is the possibility of some leaks. I have yet to actually drive it in rain so I really don't know how its going to be.
If this was a trip I was taking by myself there is no question I would use the soft top. However, those who have a wife and young children. What kind of complaints can I expect to encounter? Just wondering if others would go for it or play it safe with the hardtop?
