Do you have your windows rolled down? That helps push out any of the exhaust fumes that come inside from the back draft.

to fix the problem you need to install at least a 2.5" lift and upgrade to
4wd.

How the hell can you get CO poisoning with the top down and driving. Is this thread for real?

Try putting the top up, and running the heat. If the problem persists, perhaps something is wrong with the heater? Also, make sure that when you run the heat you have it so that it recirculates the air and doesn't bring it in from outside. If you do have something burning off under the hood, that certainly isn't going to help matters.

Only with the top down and the heat on?
So, are you saying it doesn't happen with the top down, and the heat off?
Does it happen only at certain speeds?

Is the top all the way down? I don't have a soft top, but the ones i have seen, the top almost disappears into the tub.
i own two jeeps and when i have the back open and top on[ soft top with windows unzipped] i get a strong exhuast smell. This is caused from the low air pressure directly behind the tailgate sucking the exhuast gas inside. If i have the whole top off i do not get the strong exuast smell due to the air flow thru the inside and out the back creating higher air pressure inside then the air directy behind tailgate blowing exuast away from interior.

i don't know about c02 but i live on a dusty dirt road and with the top down traveling at any speed i get more dust on the inside of the jeep then the out.
It just seams to make a like a suction and brings everything up to the front of the jeep.
sometimes i need wipers on the instde of the windshield more then the out
