The question is which of the 2 screens supports an unexpected shower?
Jeep’s Uconnect doesn’t like heavy rain for sure ?
I was able to get it changed under warranty but clearly that was lucky. Nothing says its waterproof!
2 of my kids learned to drive a stick on my JK, i want my son to learn to drive a stick... and there aren’t many cars matching those criteria:
- convertible top
- can tow trailer with kayaks or to Home Depot
- has a stick
Stick driving is a skill that i believe is important to have.
When we bought our X2 m35i, this was the only one they received at the dealer (ordered before it was out in showroom). I told the guy he could take her to the carwash!
He did and was still able to havesoot on the exhausts... He had to give it a try he said ?.
But definitely sub 20 Miles!
I have a Wrangler in New England using hard top in winter. First/Last sunny days around winter I remove the freedom tops.
mid April-end September I have a bimini top rolled and strapped on the back roll bar, tonno cover and quick attach/detach windstopper window.
July-August need a sun shade...
