  • What I've learned in the Jeep

    Big bugs hurt, when you drive with the windshield down.

    You get lots of boogers when driving on dirt roads with no top on.

    Make sure you kinda lean your head out of the door opening before spitting, it might come back at you. LOL



    What have YOU learned in your Jeep??

    i learned that when you take corners quickly with the doors off, the dog in the front seat tends to get skeered and scamper into your lap as quickly as possible.

      I learned that when driving through a thunderstorm without doors... wipers on the outside of the windshield are not enough...

            I must disagree. Capet does a outstanding job of collecting and holding water and mud when you get in a little too deep. The mud and water then obsorb the heat from the floorboards, keeping them cooler.

            Another benifit is when it dries up, the carpet really smells bad, so would be theives just move along to a "better smelling" jeep to steal.
            olllllllo <--- If you can read that, roll me over!

            Price is soon forgotton, quality is not.

                I dunno....I think if I would have left the "rubicon springs mud" in there it would be stinking pretty bad about now.

                    Something Dan and I have both learned recently:

                    If you can remove your windshield when wheeling, do it. It's one less thing you have to replace.


                    Oh, BTW, my windshield which is a flat piece of glass, was quoted at 120-160 dollars. Finally found a glass shop in town that will cut it and install, for a little less than $100. Who woulda thought that a flat piece of glass would be so much.

                      Be careful with the type of glass you put in there. In case you didn't know, normal "window" (as in house window) glass splinters when it shatters and will cut you all to heck. The glass used in windshields doesn't do that.

                      Also, I always insist on using domestic glass instead of imported glass. It doesn't chip, pit or crack as easily as the imported stuff. Of course, it costs more.

                          It's laminated safety glass. The shop will just cut it to fit the Jeep, instead of finding a pre-cut piece.

                            preventative maintenenance is far better than on the trail maintenance... not necesarilly from personal experience, but from watching the ill-equipped.

                              It does block the heat, i swear. Try driving an early Jeep with Fenderwell headers. Damn, that floor get hot.

                              I still don't have carpet in my Jeep though. Heat or not!
