QUOTE: Originally posted by Randy Stahl The high hood sd-40s had a toilet room with more headroom than a conventional SD. The purpose for a RR buying a high hood is a belief thet they are safer in a collision. As for the two sides being "cut off from each other" I'm not sure what you are asking. Randy
