I was doors off for about 6 weeks this summer....only put them back on for a quick trip carrying a lot of gear inside.

Once I bedline the interior I plan to keep them off all of next summer.

This will never happen with me. I live with two females need I say more.

a guy on my block never has a top or doors on his CJ no matter what the weather is, it is covered in bad weather tho

ive only gone 2 weeks with out the top, not fond of the rain on my interior while its parked..i usually always have the back windows out 90% of the time since ive owned it tho


do you people drive in the rain with the doors ( or tops) off? or throw the top back on and keep off the doors?

you win!!! even if you don't have the record yet, i saw the pictures you posted from the day you bought your jeep. you should just throw your doors and top away, i'd put money on you never using them at all.

Driving in the rain ain't half bad. I have driven once or twice in the rain for short bouts, wasn't fond of soakin my kiddos though. If your alone its nice.

With the doors off in the rain, its not bad either .. you may get some water, well a lot of mist thrown up in the jeepo, especially if your on the freeway. Just depends on what you prefer driving in really I guess.

IF you like to stay dry and warm, or if you like the elements.

Well on my JK I have ot taken them off yet, but on my CJ's I have gone for months with out the doors while using it for a DD. In fact I don't even have the doors for my current CJ anymore.

dont know how many days, take mine off late may and put them back on around the first of october. I will put them on when a big storm rolls thru though untill it passes. I have to put the doors on during the wet seasons becuase i just have too much mudd to deal with and it is a pain to clean up when on the inside.

My record (because it's the only time so far) is 4 days. My little girl isn't so crazy about it, plus it was going to rain, so I had to put it all back on.
