I've been toying with the idea of taking the rest of the carpet out of the Runner. Rhino-lining the whole thing in grey to match the interior would work. I took all the carpet out of the back so it would'nt get wet wheelin. Theres a small bimini top from the cab to the roll bar now but it sure would be sweet to take it all out and not worry about it. I'm dreading putting the top back on. Handles better, milage is better. Aside from security I just don't see a realistic downside to keeping it off if theres a good soft top on there. Next gen top will have full height fold down bars and side windows but end behind the roll bar with a small tenaou (sp?) cover over the rear.
