Probably, I'm probably just going to get a besttop sunrider for hardtop.
i want like every top option, lol.
hard top, soft top, freedom tops, sunrider for hardtop. lol

If nobody comes out with a box storage solution for the freedom panel or the rear soft top back bits, i'll just build one out of OSB.............j/k PLYWOOD.

There should be a storage system for the tops and doors. I asked Leitner Designs if they would consider making mounts on their system and they were interested.

If it looks like rain I leave them in the bag and put it in the bed. Put a bungee around the straps and anchor it to the cargo management system. Doesn’t slide or move at all.

In the bag, strapped to the rail, under the tonneau
Don’t strap them to the trail rails, way too up high. Strap them down with the 4 bed tie down loops at the floor level. Two of them shown here.

I was searching for an answer to this same question but this is the only thread I found so I thought I would review it now.

In my JK I just left an old blanket in the back and put one panel directly in the back and a blanket on top of it and then the other panel on top. They didn’t move and where safe. I probably did that 50-75times. I feel like the bed of the gladiator is too big to just leave the tops flopping around lose but I don’t want to spend a lot of time strapping them in, otherwise I wont want to take them off. It’s like have the soft top on a wrangler. It takes a while to take down so I only did it when I knew I could leave it down for a few days.

Any aftermarket solutions to this issue or just straps and bed tie down spots?

I bought an extra bag fo that I can store the tops separately so there is no chance for them to rub one another. Then Just plop them in the bed. I could see how a storage box would com in handy.

Plywood with your bed mat for a liner would be nice.

Plywood for the win! It’s been WAY too long since we’ve had a good plywood conversation. I heard you can’t even fit a sheet of it in the bed!;)

If there was a way or a layered system to fit the 2 freedom tops and all 4 doors in the bed...that would be insane but doubt full ....I can't even find room to put the doors in my garage lol

I liked the look of the Rampage soft box bag, but no dice.

Hello Michael,

I apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately it will not fit. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you for your patience.
