This is our daily driverEnjoy each and every day. 100 days of summer with only 25 days with doors on. Mostly had the top down for the surprise rain and Hot sun days. Kind of a pain to remove completely. Splash guards a must to keep the road spray out when doors off. The rain should be only the least of concerns. When pressure washing takes longer inside than outside.
Went to Amazon and purchased the $15 cheap thin ones. Custom fit using same fender screws, spacers behind the flap and inner fender, as I screwed them snug I heated very slightly to mold into shape. Cut upper part to long and flapped into black fender to keep mud from getting behind. Been holding up great for almost a year now and not unsightly.
These are the ones I have - the Mabett ones, and they are perfect. Fit really nicely, no drilling or cutting: https://amzn.to/3Evkhrg
If it's parked outside overnight people will get into your car if the top is off or if the doors are open/off. Heck, I've had car alarms go off because people were trying to get into my locked cars parked on the street. I'm not sure what it's like where you're located, but unfortunately here in Los Angeles County people will always look into your car. If it's parked inside at night you should be fine and just don't leave anything valuable in your car when it's parked outside. My dad is retired LE and always told people who were reporting B&Es to please not leave anything in your car you don't want stolen. If you have ever seen "The Other Guys" you don't want dirty Mike and the boys to spend a night in your car.
(and a safe or rear cage)
Topless etiquette to me is be sure you have something someone wants to see. But seriously, I’m adding this to my two door that is easy to pull the top and front panels if you don’t need the secure trunk from time to time
TellI don’t leave anything of value in mine when the top is off.
I also just added the ring dash cam and it’s pretty cool. Will alert almost instantly if there is any motion.
It’s a dash cam with forward and rear facing cameras.
I've owned three jeeps all and have had some type of soft top, no doors, hard top off scenario for at least 6 months of the year for years. (Still waiting for my Bronco - approaching 900 days BTW). There are two types of top off/doors off owners. Short-term and long term top off owners. Short term - anything goes because it really doesn't matter. Answers for long term see below:
1. Diabolical inc has a rear enclosure you can install. I've got one that I take out in the winter and put back in when I start taking the top off. This makes it easier to throw stuff in the back when out and about and have it protected.
