After owning my first Jeep, I’ve decided I hate Ohio.

I’ve been so excited to get these doors and top off. Unfortunately, Ohio weather keeps kicking me in the nuts.

I envy those of you who live in the warmer and dryer climates. That’s all I had to say.

Be patient. Was 70+ here yesterday, which is unusual for PA this time of year. I was tempted to take off the top and doors, but we returned to normal today. Just got some mirrors from Quadratech so I am ready to roll when we get a good strech of weather

I'm in Ohio also. What I did to stretch out my topless days was I bought a Milwaukee heated jacket. It work very well. I also bought a good emergency rain cover for the unexpected summer storms that we get. I also use the cover to keep the sun from beating down on my truck when the top is off. It only takes about a minute top put on.

I have enjoyed my Jeep topless and doorless in temps down to 15 deg. As long as the wind isn't blowing to bad it is a nice ride. Sometimes my glasses get so cold that it starts to burn my nose. I just deal with it.

The worst part is the random 60 degree days we get between the days on end of 30’s. What a tease.

Try waiting till July or later for the upper mountain trails to open up in Colorado. I’ve been thinking of doing a soft top for summer months... quick to go open air by just opening up the back and taking the doors off.

It was warm here yesterday also. Not before it dumped a crap ton of water the last few days.

So glad I left Ohio a few years before I got my first jeep, lol. Enjoying the 80 degree days down here and all of the random 60-70 days we had during the "winter here".

In ohio you just need to be ready to put the top back on sometimes in the same day. 70 degrees in the spring can somehow turn to hail/snow in ohio really fast....

That is hardcore. You must get some looks, I got a ton dropping the kids off at school doorless when it was 55 out.

It could be worse, by law in PA we aren't even allowed to go doorless. There have been proposals to change the law few times but never gets to the point where it gets voted on. Both the governor and lieutenant governor are Jeep owners.

Really? Wow. That sounds like more of a California law. Where they’d make Jeeps sold in CA have locks on the hinges lol.
