What do we think, northern Jeepers, is it Hardtop Time?

[Heimkehr]

I just meant to steer away from all the dweebs down south who will be all “hurr durr what’s winter lol”.

That's sig line material, right there.

Anyway...soft top only for this cool weather fellow. The JLU has a nuclear-grade heater, it's parked in a garage every night, and I only need 8 seconds on average to undo or refit the rear window panel. Having a convertible top in situ year-round is all good here.

It's not as though I'm unversed in low temperatures, either.

No top, no doors until after Halloween. As Frank R mentioned, heated seats & steering wheels plus a nice Carhartt knit hat makes those 40 degree mornings comfortable.

“Rust belters”? “6 months of sh*tty weather-ers”? I dunno, I just meant to steer away from all the dweebs down south who will be all “hurr durr what’s winter lol”.

Maybe I’ll call us “people who will still have fresh water in 20 years” people?

Lmao. All good adjectives.

Do you really call yourselves "Northerners"? That's cute.

I mean, it's not like there's anything north of the northern states

Oh, look at all his posts, the guy is a complete jerk. No regard for anyone other than himself, obviously racist. I wish I could punch him in the face! So rude and inconsiderate. Not a single helpful or entertaining post on the whole forum.

But I digress, throw a sweatshirt on, crank up the heat, turn on your seat warmers and you're good to go!!!!

Yeah, so many Mike’s from Colorado! You must have waited for him to be banned before joining the forum . It’s almost like one day “Bad Mike” disappeared and then “Good Mike” showed up .

......we are 1000% behind perpetuating that myth as well.

Starting to get to the point where I’m not top down/doors off by default; the daily highs are warm enough but especially morning around 8 when I’m driving my kids to school it’s in the 40s and no one wants the top off for that. I’m thinking it’s hardtop time this weekend.

Anyone else?

Im in Huntley IL. Hard tops on.

Western suburbs of Chicago here... soft top is now in the 'up' position, and will go back 'down' as soon as a 48 hour or more stretch of warmer temps arrives. Same with doors.

Hard top does not go on until the threat of snow hits (I don't want that weight on top of my soft top).

Gotta wait til it stops raining...

Southern illinois here and still have the soft top down all the time. Its chilly in the morning and night though. Hard top will be going on in the next couple weeks. I love putting the HT on, just the look and comfort with the headliner installed.

Do you know the story behind him being banned? Was he saying racist stuff or is that just an assumption?

Odds are very good it was something political. Thats how a lot of people join the band on here.

Those are basically the only two times I drive so I’m like “f it”.
