Car Forum / Jeep / March 2007First Topless Drive of the Season!!
Today, the first warm day of the year in SE Michigan, I had a wonderful topless drive home for lunch and back.. I forgot how much I love driving my Jeep sans top. It's such a difference from being trapped inside a plastic box all winter.. It feels so open and free. It's a night and day difference, it's almost like a completely different vehicle. There's something to be said about tunes blasting and the wind in your hair .. It's 70 degrees, no clouds, absolutely beautiful! I'm not sure about the weather in other normally-cold regions, but did anyone else take their rides out for a topless drive today? Lucky &*^%&^$&# It's 40 here in Montreal. Not quite topless weather.... Its 75 here in north eastern indiana. > Lucky &*^%&^$&# > It's 40 here in Montreal. Not quite topless weather.... Brrrr.

Only a couple dozen arrested. They overwhelmed the local cops who called for backup from Cincinnati, Woodlawn, Lockland, and the Sheriff's department. All proclaimed innocence, too bad it was caught on film.. > Just one of many reasons I pack my Glock with me most of the time. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >>>>>Lucky &*^%&^$&# >>>>>It's 40 here in Montreal. Not quite topless weather.... The Glock only holds 18 bullets, that's almost enough. I suppose I could throw it at the 19th person.. Carl > Only a couple dozen arrested.

I'll make sure I'm at least the 20th person, then. > The Glock only holds 18 bullets, that's almost enough. I suppose I could > throw it at the 19th person..

I sometimes pack an extra 17 round magazine. ;-) Carl > > The Glock only holds 18 bullets, that's almost enough. I suppose I could > > throw it at the 19th person..

In all seriousness though, I would never shoot anyone unless they were threatening someone elses or my life, and even then I wouldn't feel good about it. There's no way I could just shoot into a crowd. Carl >I sometimes pack an extra 17 round magazine. ;-) > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] >>>>>>>>> Lucky &*^%&^$&# >>>>>>>>> It's 40 here in Montreal. Not quite topless weather.... Well after you finished it wouldn't be a crowd.

I'm still in trouble for calling her a "ride" ... :) it's warm enough here, but I need new shocks all the way around. So she's hanging out in the garage for a few more days until my buddy comes up with the discount code for 4wd Hardware. I did get some work done on the XJ yesterday, so that was nice. >> Same old story year after year. First warm weather and I want to ride around >> topless, BUT she just wont do it!!!! [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > I'm still in trouble for calling her a "ride" ... :) Shocks schmocks. I once drove my YJ 25 miles with no shocks, track bars, or sway bars. It was definately a bouncy ride! Carl > it's warm enough here, but I need new shocks all the way around.

I drove it a couple days to work (15 mi each way) - it was actually a lot of fun, but I just don't want to screw anything up. It's amazing the difference in ride from my old rear shocks which didn't do anything but make the ride ridiculously harsh. Oh yeah, then I had an issue with the front axle disconnect coming unplugged, which connected the axle, which made me think I had seriously messed up my steering system somehow - that was fun. So I'll just wait another week or so for shocks. > Shocks schmocks. I once drove my YJ 25 miles with no shocks, track bars, or > sway bars. It was definately a bouncy ride!

However, running w/o shocks may void insurance claims. Carl > Hilariously enough, that's exactly how it's sitting right now.

It's also just been way too cold as of late, considering I haven't had the full top on since sometime in January. > You wont break anything running without shocks or with really bad shocks on > a leaf spring suspension.

Hows your new YJ?

I was out working in a t-shirt yesterday. The YJ is getting there, I haven't worked on it much but my dad's out there pretty frequently with it. He did the carb kit, now he's having idle troubles. At first, it was flowing fuel at idle, so he pulled it apart again and it seems to be working more correctly now. I think now we just need to adjust the idle screws and such. It also seems like all the emissions stuff has been disconnected, but it's all still hanging out, cluttering the engine bay. I hope it passes inspection so we can rip it all out (not because I hate the environment, but because it's not doing anything anyway). > I may be heading over to the east coast here in a 3-4 weeks or so, is it > still that cold over there?

I'm sure nobody knows about Maryland specifically, but I'm assuming the nutter bypass should be done post-inspection? > Do a google search on the 'nutter bypass'. > [quoted text clipped - 68 lines] >>>>>>>>>>> anyone else take their rides out for a topless drive today? >>>>>>>>> I'm still in trouble for calling her a "ride" ... :) I dont know if they have a visual inspection of the engine in Maryland or not..
