What's the best setup for running topless/doorless to minimize interior dust?

I've still noticed a dust infiltration with HVAC turned off.

Yes, a little will get in…

Oh, also in dusty Idaho, you may need to change your HVAC filter twice a year… or at least blow it out often

Fold the front window down, doors and top off.

Go full naked, and embrace the filth

thanks for the replies everyone. I about to pull the doors this weekend for the first time and I plan to leave them off for a while.
Luckily I can park in my shop at night.

Greetings, I live a few miles down a terrible dirt road, and here in Idaho they have what they refer to as "moon dust" very fine dust that makes insane clouds. We also get tons of rain in fall, winter, spring; but summer is very dry, so Jeeping season is insane dust season.
I have lived in Alabama, and Colorado and the dust on my dirt road is next level.

Even so, I want to go doorless/topless soon on my Hardtop, and was wondering what is the best setup to minimize completely trashing my interior. Door off only? Freedom panels removed and doors off? does opening rear sliding window, is full top off better than freedom panels removed?

My ideal setup would be doorless with just the freedom panels removed.

My concern is that I have a Side x Side and if I run with a windshield the inside is CAKED in dust. Windshield must come off to stop the low pressure area inside the SXS from sucking dust in.

Wondering what the best way to accomplish this in the JT (if possible)
Thanks

I think I still have Idaho dust in my JT from summer of 2021

HVAC should be turned off to avoid pulling dust into it… but then it’s pointless to use AC or heat when naked. (Not busting your chops Darrell)

i love the top off, even teh doors but i drive to work at 4am and right now its 40 degrees (yeah i know) but 80 MPH for 45 min @ 40-45 degrees, sometimes less, heat on high does help. IF doors are on, windows up and these Jeeps spit LAVA out the heating ducts. Its actually quite comfortable.


I also just like to use just the freedom panels, doors on (wife doesn't like all the sun) that seems to pull more air out than swirling it around the cab

Ever find what works best?


My suggestion… soft doors. Drive down your road then chuck them in the bed takes less than a minute to do both doors.

The solution is obvious. You are not going fast enough. Around 45-55 mph the dust will suction out the rear and keep your front part of the jeep clean.

Stay on the pavement.
