Tops off! - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Deep South Cruisers · 03-06-2003, 08:46 AM

well, its not really off yet

but checking the 5 day forecast in my area I see 5 days in a row with 70 degree highs and no rain

I realize alot of you don't ever put the top back (or have one) but for those that do, WHEN do you usually strip down your FJ's

I have a Tarp on mine now but it looks like it will be off tomorow afternoon.

We still have snow here in Sweden so maybe in the middle of may

Slowerthanu · 03-06-2003, 09:15 AM

I used to take it off the first of april, but I have a softtop now.

Uhhh.. its -4 degrees F with a -22 F winchill....... I'm just trying to stay warm. The top is definately not coming off.

woody · 03-06-2003, 01:00 PM

that pic was on McCaslin Mountain (hill, whatever) located just east of Lakewood WI in an area we call our "picnic site"...it's our usual stop for lunch, surrounded by the pines.

more pics of trips in that area at http://www.ih8mud.com/photos/

mine can stay soft top all year, the worst it gets is to around 15 degrees celsius, which is around 59 farenheit!!

thats in the DEAD of winter. The thing you guys might laugh at is me, in full tracksuit, and jacket/jumper combo, shivering at 59F

but it gets to around 100F in summer, good for soft tops, and i leave the bikini on most of the time, because we get light rain, and sometimes a little wind

Hey Woody,

Are all those J**p guys hoping to get a drive in your Cruiser? Or maybe just a bit of shotgun?

Man you haven't even got a windscreen - now that's hardcore.

Actually, I forgot the windshield at home....but didn't really need it, temps were in the high teens that day....

Actually, it was the first time most had seen the new cage work, and the guy in the tan jacket and ballcap is my fabricator...he probably picked up 4-5 jobs that day.

I didn't do much jeep draggin that day....the new motor install was only a few days old and didn't wanna push my luck!
