In my jeep that is, I was @ wally world and it was nice when I went in, I was standing in line waiting to pay and I heard a loud roaring sound, I looked out the front door and it was pouring like old testement type of stuff. I bolted out front and by the time I reached the jeep there was already standing water in the floor. I only live about a 1/2 mile away and figured by the time I got the top up I could be in my garage. That was an interesting 1/2 mile, my windshield wipers didn't work because they only work on the outside of the windshield , I also recieved several WTF type stares, I just smiled and rolled on. By the time I got home there was about 1" of standing water in the floor and I looked like I had just went swimming. I stripped out all the carpet and hung it in the garage and it is dripping as I type, I checked my rain guage and we got 3/4" in about 10 minutes. Moral of the story, don't go to wally world with your top down.

 

 

I would've given you the

Sounds like quite the trip! Good thing those carpets are easy to pull.

you should have broke out the shampoo... then people will really !!

 

 

i did the same thing... went out to my jeep the other week...and it was already pouring...

i then had to drive home 30 minutes with no top and no doors.

i could hardly see. and had to wear a hat to keep the rain out of my eyes!

fun minus the clean up / taking out the carpet.

 

It's happened to me twice this week. It happened Monday night... I left for golf and it was beautiful but by the 2nd hole the Biblical rains poured down. Within 20 minutes the sun was out, until I started driving home. I caught up to the rain and drove the rest of the way home in the rain.

Then tonight, I was at my monthly Jeep meeting and it started pouring at the end of the meeting. So, I high-tailed it home. Fortunately tonight I didn't get too wet...

Glad I have the carpets out... just have to pull the plugs.

 

Giving my standard warning if you got water in the steering column wait for a bit the horn switch will short out. Mine did HOURS after the water. It was 4:00am. The rest of the jeep is fairly waterproof as long as you pull all the plugs it will dry fine but they needed to do a better job with the electronics.

BTW cruise went out for a bit too.

 

I got caught out a couple weeks ago. I had rain gear, which I threw on because I was in the middle of hooking up a canoe trailer (loaded with seven canoes). Safari top was on, but no doors. As I was driving home, pouring rain, towing a trailer with seven canoes, yeah, there might have been a few looks. LOL.

Took about two days to dry out everything, mostly because the tow strap and tree saver in the storage cubby got soaked.

 

Wow. Where is this Wally's built - in a riverbed?
