Question 100+ and top off???

Well it is now 100+ here in OKC (110 yesterday to be more precise) , but I can't shake the desire to take the hardtop and doors off. So, I was wondering if anyone out there is riding around in 100+ heat topless and if it's competely miserable or not.

Need advice! Do mesh or bikini's make any difference?

Thanks!

I have doing it for the last couple of weeks. We have had a stretch of 103 & 104 temp days which is unusual for us being close to the gulf.

It sux if you get stuck in traffic.

Hmm...drive at night?

I see all of these jeeps running around no tops and doors, and am jealous, but also afraid to exit the tinted windows and a/c

You AZ jeeps just tough it out or what?

Bikini Top on and you're golden. Really all you need is some shield from the sun.

I do it. May not be a bad idea to bring your freedom panels just in case you get too hot (unless you have a bikini or soft top). Otherwise, go for it! And, yeah, bring a hat.

even with the safari top on, it is too hot. humidity is like 30034% today. I can't go to work all sweaty and funky.
