    I have seen a lot of dark colored trucks with a limestone top but never the other way around. I like it.

    you better get a tailgate before the beer falls out, thats considered alcohol abuse in my book

    My rover has is painted sand such as yours. I recently purchased a p/up top and tailgate and had to paint. I used Rustoleum "Almond" spray paint as a temporary fix and it is about as spot on a match as you can get from a can. You may want to try it on your new top.

    Yeah it does look good. Are PU tops quieter inside than regular hardtops?

    my hardtop has some sort of insulating/sound absorbing foil material on the inside, so I can't compare one to the other. this one had an 'echo' when I talked in it....but that may be the case with other hardtops that don't have the material I mentioned above...

    The PBR proves that you are a "regular guy" and not a chablis-sipping elitist. Or something like that.
    BTW: Milwaukee's Best is a great choice when cash is REALLY tight.
