I am loving the new JK. The top held its ground last night. Lucky I got the remote start. I had to go to another station this morning at like 1am I cranked the jeep with the remote start and the cabin pressurized and about 10 gallons of water that was sitting on the top came pouring off.

Much better to be" pouring off" than be " pouring in "

funny how that sounded like the old addage " better to be pissed off than pissed on "

Hey what are you doing for Memorial Day Weekend .. Andrew ???? You wanna break in the 4 wheel drive ???? Lets go to Superlift ... Bring the Family !!! I have a 15 y/o girl and a 11 y/o girl to keep your little ones occupied !!!!

What do you think ?????

we had a few flooded areas, not as bad as some of y'all though.

had many water rescue calls at the fire dept and rescue squad I'm at though...

didn't know so many people wanted to kayak so many of these roads!

Now, this is my county, which usually doesn't get like this... (I'll admit, we're pretty spoiled as far as weather and natural disasters are concerned)

Hammond streets flooded pretty good here, couldn't get home last night, had left the jeep at home and was in the minivan, cops had both ends of the street that goes to the street I live on blocked off . Had to spend the night at a relatives Grrrrr! Glad I didn't have the jeep out, there was golfball size hail coming down.
