| Re: RAM SC Wet Weather Gear
Hello
I also bought my RAM as a completed kit without wet weather gear. Mine had also had it fitted at some point but it was not available when I bought it.
After plenty of searching, bought the frame from Dax and fitted it, got the hood from "the Trim Shop" in Redditch who made the RAM hoods although mine is the DAX hood which fits fine. Hood bows and clips came from Brass craft, all fitted by a local trim specialist and it works a treat.
Having been caught in the rain a couple of times, It's worth mentioning that it's better to have the top, than go without, but only marginally! All it seems to really do is stop the rain getting sucked back onto the inside of the windscreen.
Given the choice, I would get a tonneau only next time, so that at least you can park it out in the rain.
Driving one of these things in the wet is not the most relaxing pastime, but it certain gets the adrenaline flowing!
As for the RAM as a vehicle, IMHO it's got a fabulous chassis and with the right engine/box combination and the suspension set up correctly, handles like a Cobra should.
