Soft Top + Exhaust question.
Just got a soft top for the 2k-tj, inherited from my son. Finally
figured where everything goes and in what order, I think. I seem to
remember a post about driving with windows out and carbon monoxide
build up. Could someone give me some pointers on the do's and don't
with soft tops so I don't wind up upside down in ditch, I'm getting to
old for that stuff... :-)

Perhaps I dont get it. But...it seems like that if you have no windows, then why
worry about CO2 buildup? There is not windows, it cant build up.

Re: Soft Top + Exhaust question.
It may be referring to the situation where you have the back window open (or
removed) without other windows open, there is the risk of carbon monoxide
being pulled into the back of the vehicle due to the pressure differences.
This is sometimes referred to as the "station wagon effect". I think it's
more prevalent in boats, but can happen in vehicles.
Many times I know that I will roll up the rear window on my soft top, and
still leave the side windows and the soft doors in (or if you have full
doors and don't have the option), and have to be sure to open the passenger
window enough to allow airflow through the Jeep from front to back to help
avoid this.

Hi Joe,
I think it's easy to smell the catalytic converter even with the
gasoline additives meant to cover that rotten egg smell, if you do while
cruising around with only the rear rolled up then put a little extension
on the tail pipe to redirect it straight out the corner as pictured:
