4 Door Wrangler JK Freedom
Top Hanger
This home grown hard
top storage solution by
Shawn (RedRockJK) Ayres
is an inexpensive and effective way of storing
your 4 door Jeep's hard top. We added a
bit to his great idea along the way.
Shawn used a pair
of hangers he purchased from his local home
depot, a 2X4, some foam, and a comforter.
 Choose
heavy duty style hangers and check to see that
they can support around 100 lbs.
Measuring 48
inches from the ceiling attach the hangers to
the wall using lag bolts at least 3" long.
Be sure to locate studs...measuring 80 inches
from the first stud should give you the location
of the next stud.
Shawn used a 2X4
but we prefer a 2X6 or 2X8 if your hangers are
large enough. Cut the wood at an 8 foot
length.
Placing the
top on the hangers will require at least 3
people.
Remove the hard
top from the jeep and rotate it so the back
window is up. Position the top in-between
the hangers and have the extra person place the
wood on the hangers and lower the top in place.
Put some sort of padding material on top of the
wood to prevent damage to the top.
Shawn used a
comforter to cover the top.
The wood can
serve as a nice shelf for the freedom top panels
at the same time.
Thanks for the
great ideas Shawn.
