I can run either top all year, it never really gets that cold around here. so I find myself using the hard top when I take long trips for security.

My hope is to run my safari top forever. I only have that on so I don't get the wife and baby sunburnt. I am sure the first rain will bring on the wrath of the wife and my soft top will be on though.

Just put the hard top back on last week. It's easier to throw the hockey gear into the back.

Any day now. Just trying to hold off winter another few days, but it will need to go on before the month ends. A nice warm, sunny day would be good. That way I could take the soft top off in the morning, drive around topless all day, and have the HT on before dark.

Never, New soft tops keep the heat in just fine. Besides you might get that nice day and you want the top down

I'm hoping to wait until mid-November.

Just put my doors back on. That was sad.

Then I had to put my soft top up, because it was rainy and cold. That was sad.

I hardly feel like it's a Jeep right now.

Well I have never had the hardtop on yet, but I am going to put it on next week. They say we are gonna get rain, and soon we will see snow.

But I don't want to come out and see a few inches on snow on top. Besides, the roommates and I like to run up the mountain to snowboard. it's only 30 miles to the lifts...

It's so nice to live in Arizona.....

being that i live in the desert, i can probably go year round with the softtop, however, since i have the dual tops, may as well switch them out. hardtop will probably come on when nighttime temps get into the 30's (late november into december). if the days are nice i can always remove the freedom panels
