We had swingy wet to deep freeze weather and more than a few times I had
to pull the plugs and put them in the heat to get the ice out of them
from condensation...

Listen to me. I bought a YJ in Nevada, with top and half-doors but missing
side curtains...it was a repo. I transported it to the East Coast, first
week of October. Weather was phenomenal - no rain, sunny and seasonably
warm.

I FROZE MY *** OFF!!!

Crossing the Rockies, the temperature at Dillon and Vale was about 45. I
went through at midday. The heat was on full, and the heater was putting
out like it should.

By the time I got to Golden I was hypothermic, I swear to God.

Never mind your heater. You need a full top or you need a winter car.
Them's your choices.

I'll give you an idea about what I'm looking at when I get the chance and
that is to take a full hard top and cut it right by the windows to make a
half cab.

Because the full hard top is such a pain in the arss to put on and take
off. Find a full hard top that's damaged in the back that someone is
selling for cheap. Then cut it just to the front of the side windows and
across the top. Then you'll need some kind of "filler" material to......
Hey, I just thought. Maybe a scrambler half hard top bulk head might work
in conjunction with the windjammer...


oh well, you get the idea. Just a idea to get the best of both worlds.
