No doors/roof in summer

[JLUCQ]

I’ll probably have it like this till September-ish. I put the back doors on when I have the kids in the back. Also have a shade over the back seat for them.

I recently drove from the San Francisco area to Lake Tahoe with the top off. Northern California has crazy regional temperature differences in spring. It was 70 at home, 80 in the valley and high 20s at elevation. All in about 4 hours. I was in shorts and a sweatshirt. Heater was cranking, but I froze my ass off. Next day I drove a few miles for breakfast at it was 14 degrees, but I had my winter clothes. A couple days later it was 14 in the morning, 60 in the afternoon and 80 in Sacramento.

Im in North Scottsdale/Rio Verde. No roads and acre lots out here. Runs 5 or 6 degrees cooler. I have the tube doors and top off. But here in a week or two as soon as it starts streaming 100+ days in the valley I'll but the doors on, and drop the top at night or cool days...

Suntan lotion, A/C, good tunes, and a Sun Shade. Keep some water in the rear cup holders and make sure you have a strong wave.

Last summer drove the Sahara to and from work. Texas summers are hot and humid. Even with the Sky One Top open and rear panels off it was kind of HOT.

Now that I retired and went with the Hardtop on my 2021 Rubicon I have removed the Top and put spiderweb shade on and plan on keeping open until I take any long trips that will require AC.

Been raining all week so it's parked in the garage. Top stored on TPL.

All I need are some tasty half doors, a cool Uconnect, and I'm fine.

There are 3 references for temperature. Celsius, Fahrenheit, Wifeishot. Anything below 60 is freezing and over 80 is burning up to hot. I am stuck in California.

I run in Safari Mode with tube doors as much as I can in summer. As mentioned here already it's actually cooler with the top left up, the trick is to avoid city traffic on really hot days. I've never regretted the decision to not get A/C on my 18 Sport. That being said, we don't get anywhere near the skin melting temps up here in the Great White North that y'all do anywhere South of the Mason Dixon Line.

wife beater, shorts & flipflops.
if its past 100, no shirt.
nothing beats breeze of air on my 6 pack and schweddy balls.

It does feel quite nice when the doors are off and the wind blows up the leg of your shorts, billowing out the board shorts out like a wind sock—full air flow.

115°+ everyday this week. Yet...I'll still see topless/doorless out there. Hardy souls.

Loads of spring flooding rains here. The ground is soaked and Sun is now drawing water out. Very humid and now 94. Short trips still nice.

Better than sitting looking out last 2 months.

Jeepers in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle-ish) reading comments about it being too hot, too much sun, too dry to take the top and doors off.
