Ok now. I took the Freedom panels off for the fifth time in a month. I get caught in some sort of rain shower or squall every damned time I do that. My weather app indicates no rain. Once that top comes off, there will be 30% rain chance. Well I'll be... that 30% is always 100% for me. It is actually getting a little ridiculous. I guess I can make lemonade out of these lemons I'm being delt. I can come down to your area, you just pay for my travel, hotel and food. I will take the top off and ride around your area. So far it's been 100% reliable to bring a good soaking. I like fancy hotels and expensive dinning, so my services don't come cheap and I regret to say I cannot guarantee a wet result. As nothing in my life can go as I plan."

This is why I got the soft top this time. No more planning around the weather!

As a native Iowan (Ft. Dodge) having rain this time of year is important. Great to see corn and soybean prices up given how that has such a positive impact economically. We have been dry for over 2 weeks after getting 7 inches in less than 6 hours at the start of the month, crazy weather the last few years.

Hi Johnny A, although we've been experiencing plenty of 70s sunshine here, we are in dire need of rain. I'm not sure if I have the funds to pay you. The Jeep, mortgage, and the cost of living took care of that. :LOL:

I received my Jeep Baptism last week. Drove with no doors or top in a hail storm. I want my badge of honor now.

This happened to me a couple of times too. The Sunrider is a nice fox for this!

Yep, I feel you there. I finally caved and purchased a Bestop Sunrider. I hope it's as great as many people say it is. I take delivery today and am pretty damn excited.

I share your pain OP, I have the problem of wind when I take it all off. When it’s all on, ...nothing. Go figure. Too much in fact., wish I could sell it or be a traveling wind farm. I look at my weather app and it says it’s calm. Where I am, frick, can hardly keep my hair in place and have to hang on to my hat.

You got me beat... hail sucks, more so topless. Well I guess your doors don't look like a golf ball full of those divots!

I got kinda the same problem, but I actually like being in the breeze.

Same boat here... I took my 5 year old daughter out shopping for a birthday present for mom. It was sunny all morning and about 2 mi from my house, the sky opened up and she received her first Jeep baptism. Thank God for the drain plugs! She handled it like a champ though.

Yup. Here in the dry Arizona desert all I gotta do is wash one of our jeeps-rain within 36 hours.
