The water is part of the "Jeep Experience".

Like a trained monkey I have learned to stand on my mall crawler side steps first to let the water run off before I get in...

edit: I hope that new users to the forum don't get the feeling that they can't ask a question without getting 100 worthless, sarcastic responses....

I love the North Shore. We mountain bike there every year. I pray for no rain the month before. Sometimes we get lucky if we go in July.

Had the same problem w/ my '03 TJ and now with my JK. It made me even consider getting those vent shade things that fit in the window so you can lower the windows a bit and let some air in but not rain. My driveway isn't sloped enough to let the water run the other way. The TJ stream was right in the middle, but they moved it w/ the JK toward's the front so my leg get's wet and not my head, neck and back. Mighty nice of them.

Ok that's pretty crazy. We had a wet one this year, but I think our average annual rainfall is 44 inches or so. I think that converts to roughly 1.6 trillion millimeters. I think it also converts to 80 dollars CDN.

Default Like the Gentleman said...

Like the Gentleman said, just stand on your rock rail and jump up and down once or twice...if the water is "puddled up" on your soft top, it wil shooting off the top pretty quick...if it's raining while your trying to get in, just get used to having a wet left foot/leg...
