I wish I could find half doors in Khaki with the correct Khaki door panels. Seems next to impossible to find them in that color, I look all the time!
OP
He matched it damn near perfect. You can't even tell unless you get it in the perfect light, and even then, it's barely noticeable. Any difference can only be attributed to the factory paint fading from UV rays over the years.
I'm 99% sure my hard top has never been taken off though. It was stuck on there so hard I almost had to get a pry bar.
OP
I'm usually good till about July, then triple digits here thru August. That's where the soft top comes in handy.
OP
A soft top sounds appealing, but the hardtop just looks so good!
This is my first full summer in Vegas and it was 106 Monday and my freaking mustache started sweating! This is surely hell
OP
Amazing... the Jeep is noticeably taller after removing both doors and the hard top. It also is even lighter over bumps (these Ranchos are amazing).
In other news... installing that Lange Hoist-a-Top wasn't fun. I'd rather do another set of control arms any day over doing that again.
The crappy part is that my ceiling in my garage is just barely tall enough. The hoist a top only hangs the hard top about 6 inches off my TJ!
Man, I wish I had taller ceilings!

I think Currie sells a variety of Ceiling Lift Kits...
Problem is, my ceiling is so low (and my Jeep is so tall), that at most I could get it up a couple inches more. What I really need is some sort of a hardtop cart on wheels. I could then place the hard top on the cart with a tarp over it, right on my RV pad outside (which is fenced off).
You do know I was just being facetious, right?
You know..."lift kits"...?I don't think I could work a hardtop lift into my garage. Like yours, it's fairly low. And I just know that having the top hanging there would be a magnet for my forehead.

Oh right Henderson. I remember reading that somewhere. Ya buddy, it just gets better from here. It can get up to 120 in the heart of summer. I am not sure if it gets humid like here, but that is bittersweet. It is a sticky wet hot but usually 10 degrees cooler. So it is not as bad but it is sticky wet. I have a granny that lives in Henderson. We would go visit here and duck into Ceasers and give some money away.
The winters can't be beat though.

I missed the Currie part at first, that's why I took the reply seriously, haha.
I think this might end up being a magnet for my forehead, you're right!
