What do you guys think about leaving your Jeep open at night doors off no top?

Might have dew or tree debris inside come morning. Maybe a woodland critter finds a new home... What are your concerns?

I do it all the time. I have a hard top, and I'm not going to be putting it on at night and taking it off in the morning. It's heavy. I only take it off when there are several rain free days ahead.

My YJ stays naked May-Nov. I've left the hardtop off for a week at a time with my JTR. Freedom panels for weeks, especially with the JTops on now. Depends on your weather and tolerance for leaf litter, I suppose?

I leave mine open, I also don't lock my doors either so I have no concerns. Got a camera in the front of my house and a ring door bell. If someone walks in the driveway I'll be alerted.

I don't leave anything valuable in my jeep. I have cameras as well, but I also have another antitheft device, in case someone wants the whole truck: it's manual. We actually had a break in several years ago, and we think they wanted our Challenger. They came in, got the keys, and ransacked it, but nothing was inside, and the car was still there. Unfortunately, that incident is why we got the cameras. 6 speed saved the day.

There's another multiple-page thread on this exact thing.
I never would - raccoons, squirrels, dogs, cats and other critters. Nope, no way.

If I have it opened up, it's INSIDE. I don't need a ripped up and peed and crapped in interior.
Want examples - come to my place and I'll show you the damage that happens to things that sit out around here. (including a car I'm parting - parts of the carpet are all over the place around where it's sitting)

(I'm not counting the bird poop on things)

Your tolerance for wet ass is the general deciding factor once youve gotten past the theft and shenanigans topic.

Mice typically won't invade in a night but I have found my backyard hawks using my roll bars as a hunting perch and once I found a cat I've never seen before or since sleeping on my seat, woke up and slowly hopped out like it was HIS easy chair. He got some scritchies.

I did one day at work find a huge a huge garter snake (HUGE for a garter snake) sunning in the cup holder, but I didn't find out until I was driving and the little guy was cruising up my wrist going for 3rd. My coworker nearly jump out and I just eased him into a shirt pocket. Animals love me.

top?

In my neighborhood, this would just be asking someone to hop in it and hang out. If we are keeping the doors and or roof off for the night we throw a cover over it and park it in the back yard. Only takes a minute.

Mine stays in a garage, so I would do it. If it were outside it would be a big NOPE from me. Too many animals and criminals (a special breed of animal) out there to find their way into an open Jeep.

I’m the one who had the other thread on this. I was worried about critter damage in rural NW IN. But what convinced me about not leaving it open at night was the stories about cats spraying interiors.

I’m thinking about getting this Rain Gear Cover

 

[DocMike]

I ordered the cab cover. I leave it out but I lock the center console. I also have my GMRS on a quick release so I pull it in at night.

condensation is real and I have had many a 5am sitting in a damp seat on the way to a trail run.
Plus the occasional rogue thunderstorm.

 

[JT LIFE]

I've used rain gear equipment for years, always top quality and worth every penny. I'll be getting one of these very soon!

I get bird shit as flocks come and go.
