I found for my seats I fold them both forward at night. That way the seat is dry in the morning, and so is the steering wheel. Then it is only a roll of paper towels to clean the windshield off.
Didn't notice yet, but what tranny do you have, auto or manual? And overall, you should make your first taks a check of ALL fluid levels and condition. Transfer, pumpkins, tranny, etc. Especially if it is an auto, that stuff cooks. And spec out a power steering gear box. They are notorious for leaking.
Again though, very nice (and clean) rig there. Have great fun with it.

It's an auto (
), none of the places I checked out had any standards in decent shape. And even before I bought it I went over it with a fine-toothed comb- fluids, electrical system, fit and condition of all the hoses and wires, made sure it didn't have any repairs or rust that had just been painted over, etc. Only issue I've found with it is that the radio on it doesn't work very well (CD player is dead and if someone closes the passenger door too hard it shorts it out and resets the clock), which doesn't concern me as at speed with the top off I can't hear the damn thing anyway.
Only thing I don't like about the Jeep itself is that it has terrible acceleration. Where I live, I am just outside the main drag of a small city and on a major state road right next to a small rise that obstructs the view to the right, so I usually have to pull out quick into a gap in traffic, and the Jeep just can't do it. However, it sits much higher up than my previous vehicles, so I can see over the rise easier and can plan the pullout much easier, which is a plus. But the feeling like you are trying to accelerate in a foot of soft sand is going to take getting used to after my last long-term vehicle (a Mustang).
