Uh. Yeah. I was juuuuust about to try that too.

That was one motivation for buying my Jeep: drop the soft top and stand on a seat or even higher to get a good photo.

I wrote a bit about that a couple of months ago.

But if you leave the doors up like that as you drive, how many 2x4s could you transport between them?

In fact we Jeep owners tend to take offense.

I feel terrible that I never spotted that.

Well shit I thought both engines were 4 cylinder. Never mind, I’m an idiot.

20% is better than the national average.

You’ve got this piece filed to “stallantis” which probably hints at how successful people are going to be at spelling this new name.

I’ve seen a few. Even saw an FJ-40 with the windshield down this spring. And I do it myself every summer when it’s at least 85°.

Originally for transport overseas in boxes, I believe. Now because it’s fun and great on hot days.

As an occasional off-roader, I love the manual. I think were I doing heavy rock crawling I’d want an auto, but in every other way I want a stick. So much less braking down hills, plus the inherent fun of a manual.

The good news is, we’ve killed off so many bugs I rarely get hit. Maybe once every 3-4 days with the windshield down.

I never said it wasn’t. It’s still a great experience.

Well, there are at least 3 of us in Indianapolis, including one lunatic who does it year round. Hardcore.

I just did it Saturday. I do it every summer when it gets warm enough. Wrote about it here: https://oppositelock.kinja.com/the-jeep-experience-part-4-full-frontal-1828181066

Meh, no dropping windshield no interest.

Indeed.

I believe the word “new” was implied.
