I've dubbed this the Wrangler JLU Derecho Edition :)

A good marketing video for Jeep. I got caught in this last week in Cedar Rapids, IA with no top or doors. Rain and winds over 100mph....

I'd never heard of a derecho (land based hurricane) until this - hope to hell I never live though another one. I was one of the fortunate ones and had no home or property damage. Most others were not. It was a pretty devastating event...

Jeep took it like a champ - pulled the floor plugs as soon as the wind\rain subsided and cleaned out debris when I got home. Definitely have a bit more confidence in what the interior of these can take, although I may think twice now when the weather is forecasting a 15% chance of rain for the day.

Volume up for the full effect (windows are up in the vehicle taking video for what it is worth).

Godspeed to all still still waiting for power and who have damaged or destroyed homes in this - we will recover!
