Hope you don't mind but I added it for you. It's funny and some don't like to click on links. :D
Amazing thanks!! Tried doing it for 10 minutes but I kept getting an error message stating that "something went wrong, please contact an administrator" Lo and behold the admin does it without being asked. Now that's what I call service.

I watched this last night, I thought that top was going to blow right off the roof! :shock: Pretty dumb to keep driving and not stop for the night especially after seeing the 2 big rigs on their sides. I've white knuckled it through some pretty bad snowstorms back east and learned it's not worth it.

As an old LT of mine used to say, "Ignorance is bliss". I owned many soft tops in my days, and the tops of today are leaps and bounds better than those of yore. But, they are not indestructible.

However, they are basically kids, and still have a lot to learn.

We all have our moments. In 1988, I drove from Amarillo, TX to Flagstaff, AZ in a CJ-5, with the top seam torn open from the windshield to the rear corner on the driver’s side. In February. Couldn’t stop, and duct tape was no help. I put on a down ski jacket, wool hat, and ski gloves, and pressed on. Even with the heat on, my legs were mostly numb from the thighs down. I traded for a CJ-7 with a hard top in the spring.

It was adventure back then Mike. I wonder at times how I lived through some of the dumb chit I pulled. I think it's a prerequisite to do stuff like that when you're young. We were kids, we were suppose to be stupid. :)

The glory of youth is wasted on those who cannot yet appreciate it. I feel fortunate to have survived it at all.

Rather than stupid, I like to think the appropriate word is inexperienced..:crackup:

And the thing is, some of the stuff I did back then, that I said it wouldn't hurt..........well, it hurts now. :)

Good for you! I’m working on the wife now, trying to convince her that a Wrangler would be a great 60th birthday gift later this year. She loves the Ranger, but is not fond of Jeeps, so I won’t have to share much.
