Worst thing to happen with top/doors off?

[Egralia]

The worst for me is a rain storm in the middle of the day and I'm doing grocery shopping

Sitting in a drive-thru once, the wife and I. Doors off, top off.

Big wasp decides it wants to say "hello". He lands right on my thigh (wearing shorts, it's summer) and just hangs out for a while as I'm trying to speak to the nice lady to take my order. I'm not the biggest fan of things that can fly and sting and don't immediately die, so that took some restraint. :D

Worse thing that happens with top and doors off is you also remove the stereo lol

I just found this pic online and it now has me scared to ever remove my Jeep's hardtop... A good power wash would take care of the outside... but the interior... oh lord...

Key word would be Garage.

Wondering what the worst thing that has happened to you or your Jeep when you’ve had the top/doors off?

I look forward to taking the doors and hardtop off once the weather gets warm again, but can only imagine…. Theft, animals, thunderstorm, some random dude jumping in while you’re waiting at a stoplight…?

I enjoyed reading all the stories about bugs, poop, and whatnot. I did not read anything about the risk of getting T-boned or having some road debris hit you in a naked Jeep!!!! I'm thinking maybe because all those people are permanently disfigured or dead and are not providing feedback on these pages!

Buy the ticket, take the ride...

Doors aren't considered safety devices and are not required for driving, unless you're in PA or some other state with dumb laws. They might help contain your limbs in a roll over, though. They probably aren't replying because they don't have hands anymore :/

At stop lights, chicks keep jumping in my Jeep because I can't lock the doors. It's been a real problem.

That is literally the only time I would use ride sharing.

A sidecar machine gun mount is an actual Ural factory accessory.

Who wants to be a door gunner while I pilot the rig through the urban jungle? We'll go Dutch on the ammo expense.

Lost a hat.

Was headed down the highway for a day of wheeling and knew it was going to be a cold night so I had my jacket stuffed under the rear seat. Not good enough, apparently - heard a woosh and looked into the rear view in time to see it get run over by a semi. Made for a chilly ride home. Now everything gets lashed down.

I mentioned this in my earlier post. I also mentioned that it likely hadn't been posted yet because the person is no longer alive. We think alike!

Worst thing that happened so far: tried to take the freedom tops off at a long light . Light changes and I forgot to secure the one side and it flies off … thanks fully it doesn’t hit anyone or anything but it got ran over twice . Cost $530 to repaint and resurface. Order a softrider top the next day lol . Lesson learned

A pop up rainstorm. I was very surprised there were no issues with any electronics

You would think that a vehicle designed with a removable top that has been around since 1941 would have weather-proof electronics. You would think…
