Hello from Colorado

[travelerBT]

y'all (and my wife) convinced me to switch to the white roof... I like it better for sure.

 

[emax]

Way better!

(imho)

My only concern with a white roof under roof rack

how dirty it would get, and how difficult to clean it would be?

You are going to WASH yours???…..

I like the blue, but I know it is the ‘hot‘ color now in automotive. I know it is historical too, and that colours are cyclical. I just wonder if the color will scream 2020s!, and is that bad?

I’m planning on the ‘sun roof’ so I think that I’ll be waiting for an aftermarket roof rack. One of the two OEM options looks like it won’t work, and the other one doesn’t look that useful.. Just looking at the roof rack above, that seems to make the roof handles innaccessable? I guess you can still grab the roof rack

Assuming that the white roof is the same paint as the white body paint- IE glossy and slick, I would think a high-power washer would pretty well. What do people use under other 4x4s racks? I could see a flat ‘matt’ type attachment for a hose, or just a ‘mop’ head that is thin and on a flexible/non-marring pole?

I’m getting a little resistance from the wife on the whole concept. One, she wants to stick me with continuing with the Tahoe sized car for 6+ seating and cargo- never mind that she complains everytime SHE has to drive it around town and park it. It’s time to replace her X5, and I keep telling her that if three real rows and cargo are important to her, she can get an X7... Two, I think she thinks it is like a kit car or some kind of Franken vehicle. I’ve got my work cut out for Me.

Ill wash it before summer, so at least once every 12 months lol.
