HA! I learned the hard way to watch my tongue and not tempt fate once too. Cept' it was in the middle of Afghanistan lol NEVER AGAIN! It all started when it began to rain and I said in a very sarcastic tone, "at least it's just rain, how could this day get aaaaany worse."

I learned that in Somalia in the 90's. And you don't want to be the one that said it when it does get worse. And Marines will never let you live it down. Bikini Tops for me, but no doors. The CA sun will give you a nice full body sun burn.

Yeah most of the guys on that deployment have pcs'd or got out. But somehow people still know I was the guy that had to open my mouth that one day lol

Yeah we've got one coming for like a day. Kinda pissed maybe the wife will let me drive her car so I can leave the top off.

Same here. It's lame.
The hardtop will be nice in the winter but come fall I'm going to look into a soft top I can easily throw on for these little one off rain days.

Same here in Sonoma County, rain? Maybe I'll take he top off Friday. I setup up an electric winch with a T-Bar to pull the top off. I can have the top off quick.

As long as its not raining, I'm topless. from 31 degrees the other morning to 93 degrees this afternoon. Unfortunately, its supposed to rain all weekend, so top and doors are going back on Friday night. :grayno:

Yep. Same little system we are getting.
I NEED a system to do the top myself. Is yours home brew or a good bought system? Either way I am interested. Some sort of hoist is high on my list.

I'm gonna start making my hoist tomorrow. Hell maybe I'll do a write up.

Heh, not me. I had the top and doors off the night before the good weather rolled in just so I wouldn't miss it.
Though I have to admit it is a pain to remove the hardtop and put it back on later that day because you know torrential rain is coming back before the day is over.
If rains, just take off the drain plug lol
