I get the same feeling every time I put the doors and top back on, its like the worlds just closed 10 fold around you. Unless rain is foretasted for multiple days I like to keep it all off until the snow starts to fall. Or the girlfriends complaining becomes too much. Guess she doesn't enjoy frost bite? and putting on a toque messes up her hair

Just put mine on last week as well. I'm feeling seriously claustrophobic.

I was used to riding my motorcylcle to work nearly every day, then had surgery on my leg so had to go to driving the Jeep everyday (sans doors & top) then had to put those on for winter that fall and felt like someone stuffed me in a gym locker.



still cant ride my bike and it is driving me nuts.

yeah it is starting to get a little chilly in the morning and late at night to be driving naked. I am going to try to keep the doors and hard top on as long as I can before I have to put it back on. so most likely towards the end of sept. I will be putting it back on.

Its even worse when you have to put them back on to go to college and every day is a beautiful day here and I'm not able to take everything off or even get to drive my jeep

wait until you work everyday and have to park next to a college where you need to leave your doors and top on because you cant trust the college kids to not steal stuff out of your Jeep or toss trash in it.

Can't see anything on my direct left side so there's gonna be some interesting lane merging this winter!
i am just across the river and still have not put the doors back on yet!.....no top or doors since June1st with the exception of throwing the soft top shell on in thunderstorms

Default Thats why I love S. Texas

Hot as hell but tops are not necessary through the winter. Just need to bundle up a little and fire up the heated seats. My Rubi is in D1 and should be here by end of month. They might as well deliver it with the top off.

Default First Pic Doorless

Just thought I'd post a pic since it's the first time with the doors off.
