Default Florida Summers?

I don't know if it's just the fact that I have a kid coming in about 3 weeks and I've been obsessed about everything around the house or what. But as it so happens this is my first summer with the jeep, and I'm thinking it must compare to what others around the country go through during the winters. I've had the top up and doors on for about a month now! WTF? Maybe I'm just sick of the rain every day (even though at one time we needed it bad) or maybe the heat and humidity has got me. I'm just leaving everything on right now and haven't gone offroad in a couple of months it seems. Anyway, I guess I'm just venting, I'm sure I'll be out again when the weather gets a little cooler again, anyway hope you are having a good time out there...

Thats the only thing I dislike about my JK. The inside is to fancy and cant handle a rain shower without causing things to get messed up or the stench from wet carpet and seats. My CJ7 never has any doors on or top on. Nothing in there to get messed up. NO carpet, vynel (or how ever you spell it) seats, and water proof radio (pull out style).

I put mine back on and I HATE IT! I feel so confined now. I actually took the hard top back off and put the bikini top back on today. Im going to give these doors a couple more days and I forsee them coming back off and the rock doors going back on! I hate the rain but I hate being confined more!

I always take to 2 fronts off and keep them in the Jeep just in case.During the winter I go topless and I love it. I am torn between summer(My Grass Is Green) or winter (My top is off) Should we do a Poll? How good is the Bikini Top for the rain with the doors on?
