Any tips, hints, secrets, or just a guide to getting naked?

The ride experience is fantastic up until around 40 mph when the noise cranks up.
Road noise from the tires or wind noise. I have the Falkin Wildpeak M/T and do 90 with them, but then I play drums and maybe I'm losing some hearing.

Yeah, the mud tires don't bother me with the top and doors on, though they're definitely louder than all terrains. But I can't imagine doing 90 without putting on ear protection. I shoot guns for a hobby and know I don't hear like I used to but it's not so bad that I can tune out that amount of noise. It's also pretty wild how much louder other cars, sirens, motorcycle exhausts etc. are when doorless. I think I'd at least break out foam earplugs if I were to take it on the highway.

I want a garage my Jeep will fit in so bad. My current one is about an inch too low to clear without airing down tires. I have onboard air, but that just seems like a huge hassle. Not to mention since we don't park cars in it, it's pretty packed with bikes, lawnmower and assorted garage things. One thing I didn't anticipate is how much room you need to store doors and that roof; let alone the vehicle itself.

The storage is a big reason my Jeep hasn’t been completely naked yet. I have to find a good spot for everything.

Yep, my hardtop is beside the house and doors are in my office. Not ideal, but it allowed me to do it.

I just timed myself going from full soft top and doors to completely naked and mirrors installed (door surrounds still in place). 9 minutes at a leisurely pace. That is timed from pulling the Jeep out of the garage to putting away doors.

Using the hinge pins and a door cart really saves time.

Anyway. Point is, once you do it a couple times and get your thing down, it’s not much labor or time. Go naked. But wear sunscreen.

Thanks, that's crazy fast. I did get the hinge pins put on. So far I still haven't put the top and doors back on. I've had to run out and put on my rain cover more than a couple of times, but it's been worth it.
