If you want the wind in your hair, the rear cab windows open and you have as much fresh air as with the canvas. There's a heap of plusses and no minuses I can think of.
I'll still change back to the full canvas on the right camping trips and for shows; but around town the cab is just too good to give up; too practical.
I think a 6x6 would probably be asking too much of an r380. Problem with the Isuzu MSAs is that the ratios are spread so far that they're only ever driven as four speeds anyway. With that in mind, I personally can't see the benefit of the conversion over an LT95 - given that they're both really 4 (usable) speed, the LT95 has better ratios. I know your dilemma though.
