I hit 112 in July according to the JK thermometer, and 44 this week. Had my gloves and coat on; the morning may be cold, but 76 degree afternoons make up for it.

Ive drove topless and doorless here in AZ when the temp gauge read 118 degrees..Lets just say i wont ever be doing that again, took me weeks before i could get the wife to drive with me topless again lol.

While i lived in Boston, i decided id take the doors off during a snow storm just to see what its like. It was a bunch of fun but the inside of the windshield kept getting covered in snow so i didnt stay out too long. People gave me weird looks when i did that but it was worth it!

I was in Death Valley at 118, it dropped to the low 90' in the afternoon so I opened the front of the soft top. In the mts it dropped to 53 in the evening and I pulled a muscle in my neck trying to close the top again. It was around 48 when I headed out in the early night and back up to the 90s when I got to Vegas.

went for a cruise with no doors when it was a nice, mild 114 and it soon after hit 120 during my drive. Absolutely brutal. Lowest I've gone was probably 50.

Drove my CJ7 for about a year in Phx with no top or doors no AC. Daily triple digits and probably close to freezing. Carried extra clothes in case of rain and a squegee for the inside during monsoons as well as wore a ski mask during the winter mornings. It Sucked.

Brothers birthday in Tahoe stripped down, ended up being in the low 20s high teens that night. Strange looks and pointing from a lot of people. So far nothing over 110.

Let me think Coldest would be about 30 degrees F in the ol' YJ. Met a Semi on the highway and blew my top back...so it wasn't by choice. By choice was like 45 degrees. . Hottest would also have been in the YJ, maybe around 100 F. but that's not including the 85% midwest humidity that day. real feel maybe 120 or so. No A/C.
