Well, hubs is a bald headed feller, it might be on a bit more than that so
the glare off his noggin doesn't blind me or other motorists LOL

I definitely have been looking for a strapless one though.

That's good to hear.
Here in TN, they salt if it even threatens to get a little icy.

So...
Once it breaks in, it will be as easy as it looks like it should be?

I got the sunrunner top, didn't realize it but it looks like an interesting
option.
I'm going to give it a try tomorrow, weather permitting.

Kinda like losing your virginity aye?
The first time is always the hardest.

The top is the same as a tonneau I used to have for the Cobra. I understand
the whole cold / hot thing.
It was about 50 degrees this morning and I knew it was gonna be a battle but
I still had to yap about it a little.
Just not sure if it was braggin' or complainin' ;¬)

There actually is a power softop kit for the Wrangler. It's hideous. I did a
quick google but too tired to look.

I hear ya. It's only 9:30 here and I am gonna go make nice with a pillow.

Oh, and I really don't think I want one. What a mess it would be.
I'm cool with what it has. It will break in and then all will be well.

G'nite!

I was running around in the rain topless for a while tonight! Felt sooooo
gooooodddd!

And hey, Jerry, its almost as much fun as wet silk. = )
