hey now! i can out tow any of the other wranglers!! seriously though the 3.8 does have great power, i have been offroad a numerous amount of times with it and towed everything from small cars to pickups and also an old 70's 36 foot winnebago!
anyhow on to the focus of this thread, i coast to stop lights with the engine off, it kills the ease of steering but is worth it, also i never go above 55.
slanting back the window has many logistics issues, first moving the top towards the rear means redesigning the door, moving the bottom forward means figuring out the windshield wipers.
here are a few of the ideas i had for my '02

and this is my current project (my '07)

an easy mirror solution is getting some smaller mirrors from autozone (or similar retailer) and replace the stock ones, i know the mirrors on the older jeeps where not as bad as the '07 though so maybe not much of an issue for you.
also there was a good point about the tops, a worn out top will be bad on fe but a good soft top is just as good as a hard top for the following reason
