Winter sucks!!!!
Fianlly wimped out and put on the hardtop today. Running with no doors and a bikini top with a 6" hole in your floorpan is too much for me when it's 30 degrees out and your heater hardly works. Had to put on the doors too. The only good to this is that during the spring no mud goes on the inside of my windshield or over my guages and me.

Did I mention winter sucks?

Ok. I wasn't in the Jeep today but, I had the top to the Mustang down with shorts and a t-shirt on thinking, only in CA can you do this in November. Well except for the rest of the Southwest I can do this all year. I usually on put the top on the Jeep when my boys are riding with me.

I froze my ass off in the garage while disassembling my steering wheel.



Just when you think Torx is bad enough, you learn all about "reverse torx".

That's the one thing that sounds easy but is a major PITA.....steering wheel. I NEVER want to have to take mine apart!!!
