Now, if I can find a way to make it LOOK like the top and doors are off.....
Hey Wayne! Since I'm flying solo too, you wanna ride with me and we can split the fuel cost??? We'll have more $$ to spend on wine!

I'm trying. Working on a lift deal right now with a vendor through the site. Hopefully we can make it happen.

Hey Eddie, can you scratch my JK from the list and put me in with the Gypsy?

Uh, do I get shotgun or does your handsome little dog Jack get that seat?

Not taking Jack this trip cuz with no doors I would worry too much about leaving him. Sooo... that means you get shotgun! We'll share the

Second, Which part of the trip is the bikini top allowed (and why is it allowed for only part of the trip?)

Thanks
well, the idea was to make this an adventure and we didn't want to allow any tops at all. but, there've been enough people requesting the use of some kind of shade protection so, we are going to allow them but, we'd prefer that they be used sparingly or, on the sunniest of days. if we come into gloom, fog or overcast, i'd like to have them off. it is after all, a "topless" tour

Got the mirror thing handled (thanks Wayne!).

Fog, mist... got it. If that's the worst of it then cool. Been there, done that. Thanks.

Yeah, I know that I (along with others) really appreciate the allowance of a simple cover... Four days of wheelin' can end in some serious sunburn. I ran Cleghorn in April with just my front tops removed for a couple of hours and my passenger and I burned...
From what I can tell, the bikini tops (ordered mine today) are pretty quick and easy to install/remove so we should all be able to do that 'as needed'. Just pull over and announce that it's time to go "topless" and I'm sure that everyone will comply Maybe specify that you're referring to the Jeeps!!! (or not)
