Re: Favorite Summer Driving Configuration
You'd probably be better off with a contraption like the 4Runner had, where the rear glass window would slide in the tail gate like a "regular" window. Now that would be nice!

Re: Favorite Summer Driving Configuration
<Shrug> If you already use a hardtop the weight of the glass would be about the same as the current liftglass on the top. The added weight for the motor is not much, so all in all it wouldn't be that much of a difference.
I don't have a hardtop myself, so I am not sure how the Jeep would behave with one, but it must be heavier than the soft top anyway. As a nod to what you said I am strongly considering the Viking top, once they manage to come up with the LJ version, no frame on the top would definitely save some weight.
To each his own, that's a very good motto when it comes to Jeeps :-)

Well, if I am not mistaken this is the JT look-alike that AEV is selling for the proverbial arm+leg combo with or without a Diesel or a Hemi. Check the springs in the rear, something's gotta hold all that weight :-)
