getting ready to order
im getting ready to order my next rubicon and im having a little
trouble deciding on options this time. i know i want the auto for crawling and cruise control for the long commutes. were i cant make up my mind is: -half or full doors. i never much cared for the hard top on my last rubicon and will most likely just get the soft top this time around. i like the looks of the half doors, but the convenience of the full doors (except when going topless, then i hate the full doors). ive never owned a jeep with the half doors and wonder how well they will seal when driving at highway speeds at -40 degrees. - color. i like the patriot blue but i already have an '04 cummins in patriot blue. i dunno if i would want _that_ much blue in my driveway. i like the khaki but my last rubicon was khaki and i was getting ready for a change. i _really_ like the new orange, but fear that might get old fast. if forest green, sienna, or yellow were still available it would be much easier. ive only seen the "deep beryl green" in pictures and wonder how close it really is to the forest green of 2000? thanks, |

Nathan:
For your Montana cold weather, I would highly recommend the full doors with roll up windows.

My advice...get the dual top option so you have the hardtop for the winter,
softtop for summer. I think that hardtop will make a big difference at 40 below. The soft door uppers with the half doors will be really hard to unzip if you have to open them in winter. You can always get half-doors later. I'm partial to patriot blue...http://7slotgrille.com/jeepers/tj/matt/11.jpg > wrote in message ups.com... > > -half or full doors. i never much cared for the hard top on my last > rubicon and will most likely just get the soft top this time around. i > like the looks of the half doors, but the convenience of the full doors > (except when going topless, then i hate the full doors). ive never > owned a jeep with the half doors and wonder how well they will seal > when driving at highway speeds at -40 degrees. > > - color. i like the patriot blue but i already have an '04 cummins in > patriot blue. i dunno if i would want _that_ much blue in my driveway. > i like the khaki but my last rubicon was khaki and i was getting ready > for a change. i _really_ like the new orange, but fear that might get > old fast. if forest green, sienna, or yellow were still available it > would be much easier. ive only seen the "deep beryl green" in pictures > and wonder how close it really is to the forest green of 2000? > > thanks, > |

The hard doors IMHO aren't really insulated better, but they don't flex as
much as the soft doors and the roll-up windows will be easier to open in the cold. Also, it'll be tough to scrape the ice off the soft windows, though I guess you can just bang them from the inside to break the ice off, though you might split the plastic as well. Another advantage to a hardtop is the rear window defogger. > wrote in message ups.com... > mabar wrote: > > For your Montana cold weather, I would highly recommend the full > doors with > > roll up windows. > > for insulation purposes or what? > thanks, > |
