A little update. First of all,I dropped 10+ pounds and am the lean mean machine again!
:. But more importantly (and relevant),I ran the Jimmy all summer and up till a few weeks ago as my daily driver. The sides went up and down a lot and I figured how to do the snaps much easier. I had been starting at the front and going snap by snap to the rear...and that last snap was a bear! I figures out that doing the front verticals,then jumping to the back corner works great (just don't forget the ones between...heh heh).
. I understand what you mean,though. Definitely not a trail rig. It's my get-away machine. It's great on the hiway,then respectable when I go off road. Just an all around GP rig.
Yep,that's it. I was helping a friend fix storm damage from "Derecho" at the Willow Springs Golf Course club house in West Friendship all through October. That's probably when you saw it.Super K that is a nice ride love what you have done and the direction you have gone with it. Is it the same one I sometimes see at the park n ride on 27 ? I didnt think soft tops were still available till I saw your post above, I figured you had that one for awhile. Told my wife I am ordering one in the spring. Well done.
Well,I put it on in July '11 and it's been on ever since. We had a mild winter with only one snow last year,but I read where members in the Rocky Mt states said they took snow very well. I've never had any water inside and I never even did the seam seal they give you with it. The aforementioned "Derecho" was the last weekend in June. We had severe weather warnings that evening for right around dusk. Ok,so some bad thunderstorms,maybe even a tornado here and there. What happened was this 80 mph wind that blew severe weather in a path straight as an arrow,not like a twister. It was devastating if you were in it's path. Well,that night I was camping in the Jimmy and I rode it out. I was talking to a friend from KY who was in Canada. It had started raining so I hopped in the back and buttoned it up. It was rocking the Jimmy and I told my friend I felt like I was in a tent held down by a Jimmy! I got off the phone,climbed into my sleeping back,and wondered if this was a tornado and if it picked the Jimmy up there was nothing I could do. No cellars or safe place to go where I was. I ended up falling asleep,woke up through the night hearing hard rain,then woke early and it was over. Trees and power lines down all over. Yeah,I think it's all weather
