Default Favorite Summer Driving Configuration

I bought my 98 TJ one year ago. This spring I started trying different open air driving configurations. I did the hardtop less doors, the doors less hardtop, the soft top with doors and windows, the soft top less doors with windows, the soft top less doors and windows, the totally topless and doorless etcetera and so forth.

I settled on the soft top less doors and windows. Keeps the sun off my cue ball and feels just as open as a Lotus 7. When it's party time, the soft top is off in under a minute. Spent 5 buck on a mirror to make it legal.

I've been running this way full time since the end of June despite the ceaseless and sometimes torrential rains we've been having and enjoyed every second of it. I have no garage so a big tarp was most helpful, as was my company's shipping department door. Sometimes detours were required to dodge showers.

How is everyone else here doing their everyday summer driving?

Hit the poll above and post a picture and/or comment below.

Cheers fellow Jeepers!!

Let's get naked! I'm just about ready to put everything back, though. It's getting a bit chilly in the morning, the kids don't yet complain when I take them to school but it's coming.

You're right, I was also wondering about that. Well, first I was wondering what the heck "other" might be, and then I started getting all kinds of pictures in my head...

Nice jeep. I am waiting for someone to come up with a soft back window for the hard top. Would work really nice in summer.
