Yes! The Jeep life can be quite addicting if you catch the bug. I go off-road and I also use my jeep as a daily driver. I even use it as my limo for those high-falutin' events one is required to attend at times.

With the top off the unit is going to be prone to tons of dirt and I also tend to touch it to change tracks as I am working on the unit.

The reason my video cable burned I believe is because I lost my mounting screws and the shock mount plate for the HD was touching the motherboard directly - the hottest spot on the drive was right above the cable and cooked it - twice. Third times the charm - I'm going to replace the screws and hopefully this week or next completely restore this EMPEG to it's former glory.
