storage in the summer isnt an issue anymore, i just dont care for a
hardtop. ill get the dual top option if it will _really_ make a big
difference at -40. ive asked the local jeepers and they all tell me
that a tj soft top is enough....but then again these are the same
people who ive literally seen riding around topless at 9 degrees with
nothing but carhartt bibs and a cup of coffee. :-)

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.
