Saturday night having some drinks with the wife and friends at a bar on St. Pete Beach and i see a nice JK with the top down pull up into the parking lot. Looking at it closer I see that that the soft top is all jacked up. I put my drink down and walked out and asked the guy if he had a minute for me to show him the proper way to put his soft top down. He was actually really cool and said sure. Dude didn't even have the windows out, just had everything smashed into the trunk with the arms sticking straight up.
After the lesson he was thankful and the JK was saved from any further damage.
Did I do the right thing or should I just minded my own business?

funny you mentioned the "jeep wave". That's a tradition that they should pass along at the Jeep Dealer before you leave the lot. I've had my JK for 4 years now and I get a little pissed when fellow jeepers don't wave back. Prior to owning my own jeep I would borrow my friends and that was the first thing he told me; make sure I wave and ALWAYS wave back!

I think it is proper to use some Boondock Saints wisdom..."We must all fear evil men. But what we must fear most, is the indifference of good men."
You did the right thing, always the best course of action.
