That would have made sense but it was too far (about 140 miles round trip) to drive a, still as of yet, untrustworthy Jeep.
I've had it since October '25 and still haven't driven it more than 12 miles from home (or taken it past 55mph yet).
Other factors were; it was raining and I only had half doors available at that moment, and the $100 hardtop was missing a rear window.
That spurs a question... why are 90 to 95% of used TJ hardtops for sale on CL or FBMP missing the rear window? Do rear windows break easily?
I got this uncracked hardtop for $100 and a used replacement rear glass for another $175. The only few 'complete' hardtops I found inside a 100mile radius were minimum $600.
They break easily when they slam shut from people NOT replacing the worn out struts.
Because folks drive them home in the back of Tacoma resting on the rear glass. =)
I'm with the strut theory. And possibly stupid recovery tricks with chains or shackles flying through the rear window.
JeepGlass.com has rear windows if you ever need a replacement.

The ones I know of breaking were due to driving around with the glass open (at least 3 different ones) and one backing into the garage with the glass open and the garage door opening not being quite tall enough.
