Default How wet will I get...

...with the top on, windows off and doors off in the rain (2 door)? I never put my windows in and get a little mist in the back when it rains.

Not too wet. During the summer I always leave the top on for extra protection from the sun plus all I have to is throw on the doors when we get the nearly daily rain storms. The back of the seat and your left shoulder may get wet but nothing too bad. - KY

Sounds like you are talking about just the windows off...I was wondering about windows and doors off....I have my windows off about 355 days of the year.

No faster than 50, but lots of cars around. I am wondering how the road spray will be...

Doors off a lot of spray comes in on your left leg. Depends on the kind of rain too.

I do this a fair bit... Legs will get wet (not too bad) and you'll get a fair amount of mist. Look out for big puddles and big trucks kicking off a lot of spray.

You will get wet. If its really windy you will get really wet. but it is fun. And the looks from other people on the road are priceless

I run doorless throughout the year except winter. Luckily have a covered parking spot during day and garage at night.

Pop the soft top up and rainstorms are fun - its only water and Jeep does dry out quickly from the side rain. The looks of others is shear pleasure (mine) and theirs are complete bewilderment and stupidity (mine) as they watch.
Its a Jeep thing....enjoy

Well, ironically, I found out the answer to my question on the way home today!! Was not supposed to rain until tomorrow, but I got caught in a downpour for about 6 miles. It was awesome! And, yeah....I got plenty of looks! Thanks for all of your replies!
