ill just run the soft top. tj heaters are capable of keeping you warm in a
soft top jeep.


> What didn't you like about the hard top?

a hardtop has its practical applications i know.....but if i were wanting to be
practical i would get a minivan. :-) i guess everybody has their own ideas of
what makes a jeep a jeep, and the soft top just does it for me. there are
times when ive been glad i had the hard top, but the hassle of storing it when
i want to run the soft top made the decision for me.

Just curious. Why did you "hate" the hardtop?
